Bol was the first to do so in a track discipline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet the win in Zurich also marked an even more impressive milestone for Bol, one which underlines her extraordinary consistency over the past five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"lazyload smush-lazyload-video smush-lazyload-youtube\" style=\"--smush-video-aspect-ratio: 500\/281\" data-bg-image=\"url(https:\/\/www.diamondleague.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=smush_video_thumbnail&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F68jSoz9EnPs%3Ffeature%3Doembed&#038;video_width=500&#038;video_height=281)\" ><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Femke Bol snags 30th DL 400m hurdles win and FIFTH title at Zurich Final \u2013 Wanda Diamond League 2025\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/68jSoz9EnPs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"><\/iframe><span class=\"smush-play-btn\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Play video\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<span tabindex=\"0\" class=\"smush-play-btn-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Play<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The world champion and Olympic bronze medallist has now won 30 Diamond League competitions in a row &#8211; the longest winning streak in series history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bol headed into the season with 24 wins under her belt already, having won every single 400m hurdles race she had started since her Diamond League debut in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She began her fifth title defence with back-to-back meeting records in Rabat and Stockholm, before turning her attention to a new challenge Monaco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before 2025, Monaco was one of the few meetings where Bol had never won in the 400m hurdles.
