“If everything continues to go normally, Femke will run her next race at the end of May,” Meuwly said, offering a measured but positive update on the Olympic champion’s recovery timeline.
The setback emerged after Bol’s 800m season debut in Metz, where the step up in distance placed additional strain on an existing tendon concern. While the issue worsened in the aftermath of that race, her camp has since adopted a cautious, structured approach to rehabilitation.
Bol has temporarily shifted away from track work and is currently focusing on low-impact conditioning, including cycling, to maintain fitness while reducing load on the affected area. The transition back to running is expected to begin shortly, provided there are no setbacks.
The Dutch star’s progression will be closely monitored over the coming weeks, with her team prioritising long-term readiness over an early return. With the outdoor season gathering pace, a late-May comeback would keep Bol firmly on track for the major championships ahead.
