beginning was there too three years ago at the World Cup in Doha, but then he came into action in the shot put. In Eugene, he hopes to force a last place in the hammer throw.

Comenentia, 26, has held the national hammer throw record since 2017. Her personal best has been 76.80 since April 2019.

In the women’s shot put qualification, the Netherlands Jessica Painter, Jorinde van Klinken and Benthe Konig three strengths. Van Klinken is entering her second World Cup, but we can expect more from debutant Schilder. Volendam, 22, is making good progress this year, culminating in bronze at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade in March.

Ramsey Angela came close to a medal in the final meter of the Olympic 4×400 mixed relay.

The relay team can run to the final

The Netherlands can already conquer the first medal on the first day. The relay team goes into action in the series and maybe also the final of the 4×400 mixed.

At the Tokyo Games last year, the Dutch team with Liemarvin Bonevacia, Lieke Klaver, Femke Bol and Ramsey Angela almost made it to the podium.

The Netherlands were only 0.14 seconds slower than the bronze team USA and the difference with the Dominican Republic was not much greater (0.15).
