– I think we should all take online hate with a pinch of salt, says Lieke Klaver to news. She talks about the rumor that arose after one of the WC’s most dramatic moments. The Netherlands’ big star, Femke Bol, sprinted hard to keep the USA behind her in the mixed relay, but a few meters before the finish line, she went spectacularly on the nose. The winner slipped and afterwards several speculated on social media whether there was a bad atmosphere internally in the Dutch team. – Shut up A video from the press zone quickly started to spread on TikTok. In the video, you could see the two biggest profiles in the Netherlands, namely Bol and Lieke Klaver, side by side in front of the journalists. While Bol was being interviewed, the camera also captured Klaver, who apparently looked hatefully at her team-mate. It doesn’t take much more to create a flurry of rumors about a split in the team, and during the championship, Klaver was forced to go out and comment on the video that spread on the internet. – I stood by Femke to protect her and to ensure that she was not alone with the media. If you see this video, please ask the rumor mongers to shut up, Klaver wrote on Instagram. RUMOR: A small glance to the side, where Bol was standing, and the allegations of a split in the Dutch team were underway. – A lot of fake things on the internet news meets the Dutchman after a second place in the Diamond League vote in Brussels. Klaver has managed to keep the chaos from the World Cup at a distance. She uses the opportunity to take issue with the prevailing culture on the internet, where often anonymous profiles allow themselves to write ugly things about others. – I don’t think we should take the negativity so seriously. It is very easy to post everything online. I also get a lot of hate, but I don’t care, because… Yes, it’s online. I think there are a lot of fake things on the internet, says Klaver. TEAM FRIENDS: Bol and Klaver after relay gold in the WC. Photo: Reuters Ho is herself very popular on Instagram, with over 700,000 followers. She wants to put the storm from the WC behind her and will not go into more detail about how the spread of rumors affects her. – But it’s a new example of how I know the internet is “fake”. – Gets a bit angry Bol didn’t like the video that portrayed her and Klaver as estranged either. – I’m a little angry because of that. I told the others on the team that they could go, I can do the last interviews. But Lieke stayed by my side and said that she didn’t want to leave me alone with the media. I will help you, Bol tells Citius Mag. She bounced back strongly in the WC after the fall on the opening day. First, Bol sprinted to gold in his favorite distance, the 400 meter hurdles. Then the Dutch women’s team secured relay gold in the 4×400 meters with an impressive final sprint. On Saturday 16 September, you can watch the last Diamond League vote of the season on news from 21, with among others Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Karsten Warholm on the starting line.
