Bol attempted to improve his 400-meter hurdles time by using a modified stride pattern during his training for the 2023 outdoor season. She used to be able to jump over each hurdle with the same leg leading since she would take fifteen steps to get from one to the next during the race.
She now tried alternating between her legs for the jump in fourteen steps between the first few hurdles but changed it to fifteen steps for the last hurdles.
Bol made her competitive debut with this revised configuration on May 27 in Oordegem, Belgium. Despite running sixteen steps instead of fifteen after hurdle seven, Bol achieved a new world record of 53.12 seconds.

With a timing of 51.45 seconds, she became the second-fastest woman in history and the third-fastest person overall. The only person to run a quicker time was McLaughlin-Levrone, holder of the world record.
