The Dutch women’s relay was unable to perform a high jump on Saturday in the 4x100m final at the World Championships in Athletics in Budapest. An error has occurred on the third switch. Gold – as with men – went to the United States.
Holland has performed with Nketia Sidhu, Tasa Gia, Leki Claver and Nadine Visser. In comparison to the series, 400-meter specialist Claver and steeplechase runner Visser are joined by Mariej van Honenstein and Jamil Samuel.
As the Dutch formation was not eligible for medals on the basis of speed, a risk had to be taken when handing over the baton. An error occurred with the last change. Gia left so quickly that Visser could no longer catch up and Holland was disqualified.
The gold medal went to the United States in 41.03 seconds. Jamaica was slightly slower, with a time of 41.21 seconds. The bronze was for the British runners. The United States also took home the gold medal in the men’s race. Thus, Noah Lyles won his third world title in this tournament.
Schilder is disappointed in the final shot. The 24-year-old from Volendam was in contention for the medals, but stopped at 19.26 metres. She finished eighth. Jorendy Van Klinken finished ninth with a distance of 19.05 metres. American Chase Eli won the gold medal with a distance of 20.43 metres.
Rick Tam finished 13th in the overall round. With 8098 points, he was far from his personal best (8326 points). The gold medal in this segment went to Canadian Pierce Lepage, who surprisingly outperformed his compatriot and Olympic champion Damien Warner. The bronze went to Lyndon Victor of Grenada.
