Femke Bol of the Netherlands staged a remarkable comeback in the women's 4x400 meter relay at the world championships, overcoming a 20-meter deficit to secure victory on Sunday.
What happened?

The Netherlands time of 3 minutes, 20.72 seconds edged Jamaica by .16 seconds, and Bol's teammates were amazed by her effort.
What comes next?
Bol, of course, already had a gold medal from her 400-meter hurdles race, and this comeback helped her teammates, including Cathelijn Peeters, Eveline Saalberg, and Lieke Klaver, win one too.
