Dafne Schippers back to Bart Bennema Sport

Topsprintster, a 26-year-old from Utrecht, also trained at Bennema from 2008 to 2016 inclusive. Under her leadership, she won the world title in the 200 meters.

Bennema, National Coach of the Union of Athletics, will be responsible for training the 100 and 200 meters of sprinters in the coming years. A number of them, including Dafne Schippers, have been trained at the recently ridden American Rana Reider.

Schippers is part of the selection that includes athletes Churandy Martina, Jamile Samuel and Nadine Visser. Schippers trained with Bennema success between 2008 and 2016 with a series of impressive results, including winning his first world title in 2015.

"I am very happy with the new collaboration with Bart. , know what we are with each other and together, we look forward to the future with confidence, we hope to be able to give an interesting follow-up to the fruitful cooperation we have always had, "said Schippers.
