Coach Bol furious with NOC*NSF for not being nominated Sportswoman of the Year | Sport

Dear Netherlands and NOC*NCF. It is fair to say that you are a sports nation. Nevertheless, and despite the fact that some minor sports are very popular in this country, you must learn how to discern their importance on a global level,” the incensed coach wrote on Twitter.

“Sorry, but the shortlist for the nominations for the NOC*NSF gala 2022 is a farce!”

Olympic champions Irene Schouten, Suzanne Schulting and Annemiek van Vleuten are among the nominees. Bol was crowned three-time European champion this year and took silver in the 400 meters hurdles at the world championships.

,,Sorry, but the shortlist for the nominations for the NOC*NSF gala Gala 2022 is a farce! In skating, 27 countries participated in the last Olympic Games, in athletics more than 200! Femke Bol achieved the unique treble 400-400H-4×400 at the European Championships, and she also took silver at the World Championships.”
