On Wednesday evening, the Athletics Federation announced the dispatch of a team of 36 athletes to participate in the World Athletics Championships. Liemarvin Bonevacia also receives a start-up permit.
The tournament takes place from July 15-24 in Eugene, USA. Twenty athletes will reach an odd number. The other sixteen are part of the relay teams.
Bonevacia did not meet the 400m limit, but the Olympic qualifier still earned a starting point based on his position in the world rankings.
This also applies to Nick Smedt and Angela Ramsey in the 400m hurdles, Zoe Sidney in the 100m hurdles, Bent Koenig in throwing, Rutger Kopillar in pole vaulting and Denzel Kominentia in hammer throw.
Sivan Hasan has yet to run a single race yet this year, but he can compete as a defending champion in the 1500 and 10,000 metres. It’s also high enough in the world rankings for a starting ticket at 5000 metres. She also combined these three distances at the Olympic Games in Tokyo last year, which led to her receiving two gold and one bronze medals. It is not yet clear how far she will travel in Eugene.
World Athletics Championships for the first time in the United States
The World Athletics Championships will be held in the United States for the first time, and the IAAF World Athletics Federations expect two thousand participants from two hundred countries. A number of Dutch athletes will participate in the Diamond League competition in Stockholm on Thursday and then travel to Irvine, where the athletics federation has set up a training camp.
Fimc Ball is a huge asset to a medal in the 400m hurdles. Furthermore, Lieke Claver (400 metres), Evelyn Salberg (400 metres), Tony van Diepen (800), Maureen Koster (5000), Mino Flon (pole vault), Jorendy van Klinken (shooting and discus), Jessica Schelder.
