Entrants

[edit]

Ahead of the championships in August, long distance runner Sifan Hassan, who competed since 2015 at all World Athletics Championships winning six medals including two gold, announced not to compete at the World Championships because it was not possible after she already competed at the London Marathon and Sydney Marathon.[1] Also, heptathlete Anouk Vetter announced not to compete at the Championships due to inadequate preparations.[2]

The Netherlands entered 53 athletes to the championships.[3] It is the biggest Dutch team at the World Athletics Championships ever.[4] The Dutch team aims for at least four medals at the Championships.[5] The biggest contenders for a medal were considered in advance the 4x400 meter mixed relay team; Femke Bol (400 metres hurdles), Niels Laros (1500 metres), Jessica Schilder (shot put), and apart from those also Nadine Visser (100 metres hurdles), Sofie Dokter (heptathlon), and possibly Jorinde van Klinken (discus throw).[4]
