The Dutch athlete shared that the people outside must understand that she can't be perfect all the time, and there can be several flaws in her during a given time.Additionally, Bol also mentioned her bad days and said that she refrains from posting them on her social media and would rather show such emotions during her interviews. She said (on the Open Kaart podcast via Olympics.com):"I hope people understand I’m not perfect. I’m just human. I mess up, I have bad days, I don’t always look my best. I hope people see that. I’m not going to post on social media when I have a bad day. I’m not even on there that much. And if I have three bad training days in a row, I’m not going to post that either, my competitors would see it. But I try to show that side of myself in interviews, like this one."Further speaking of her imperfections, Femke Bol said that when she is on the track, her main focus is to run as fast as she can and doesn't give much importance to her flaws.
