The world of athletics is buzzing with excitement as two of the sport’s most electrifying stars — Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone of the United States and Femke Bol of the Netherlands — have been officially named finalists for the World Athletics Female Track Athlete of the Year Award. Both athletes have had a phenomenal 2025 season, rewriting records, redefining excellence, and inspiring millions across the globe.
For Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, this honor comes as no surprise. The American hurdling sensation has been in a league of her own since bursting onto the scene as a teenager. Known for her incredible composure and flawless technique, McLaughlin-Levrone has transformed the women’s 400m hurdles into one of the most thrilling events in track and field history. In 2025, she continued her reign of dominance, clocking jaw-dropping times that stunned both fans and rivals alike.
Her versatility also deserves special mention. Sydney’s ability to seamlessly transition between the 400m hurdles and the flat 400m has made her one of the most complete athletes of her generation. Beyond her physical strength, she represents the perfect blend of grace, focus, and humility. Each race she runs tells a story — one of determination, faith, and an unrelenting pursuit of perfection. With Olympic golds, world titles, and multiple world records already to her name, McLaughlin-Levrone’s nomination is a celebration of consistency at the highest level of the sport.
Meanwhile, Femke Bol, the pride of the Netherlands, has had an equally sensational season. Known for her lightning finishes and remarkable endurance, Bol has become Europe’s brightest track star. Her 2025 campaign was nothing short of historic — filled with record-breaking performances and breathtaking victories across multiple disciplines. Whether in the 400m hurdles or the indoor 400m, Femke Bol’s performances have pushed the boundaries of what was once thought possible.
Earlier this year, Bol stunned the athletics world when she shattered her own indoor 400m world record, leaving fans speechless and commentators scrambling for superlatives. Her elegant running form, competitive spirit, and infectious smile have made her a fan favorite worldwide. She also led her Dutch relay teams to multiple victories, proving that she’s not just a star, but also a team leader who elevates everyone around her.
The rivalry and mutual respect between McLaughlin-Levrone and Bol have defined modern track and field. Every time they step on the track together, fans know they’re about to witness something special — a true masterclass in speed, strategy, and heart. Their head-to-head battles have captivated audiences, sparking debates over who is the greatest of this generation. Yet both athletes have shown nothing but admiration for each other’s achievements, embodying the true spirit of sportsmanship.
As the World Athletics Awards draw closer, anticipation continues to build. Regardless of who takes home the trophy, both Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Femke Bol have already secured their places in history as icons of excellence.
