2025 Women’s 400 Hurdles World Rankings

No. 2 in two of the three most recent seasons, Femke Bol easily returned to the No. 1 spot she earned in ’23. (TAKESHI NISHIMOTO)

THE LONG HURDLES really could use another Femke Bol/Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone matchup. Would you believe that they’ve only gone head-to-head 3 times? The American superstar has won all 3 of said races (and each in WR time)…

UNFORTUNATELY, ’25 didn’t feature any of the Big 2’s clashes. With SML concentrating on the flat 400 (and dominating there), Bol had the glory all to herself. She went 9-for-9 and produced the year’s 3 fastest times…

BOL’S FAST TRIO were all in the sub-52 category. She now has 8 such in her career, tying SML. The rest of the sub-52 collection is all of 2: 1 each for Dalilah Muhammad and Anna Cockrell, who scored Olympic silvers with those PRs…

COCKRELL AND MUHAMMAD ended up going 3-4 in the Rankings as Jasmine Jones ascended to the top-American position in claiming No. 2… SML won a couple of low-key races to earn the No. 6 spot.
