Due to the different conditions on the track, there was no fair game on Thursday evening, but Dafne Schippers was able to finish her first outdoor game at the so-called Inspiration Games.
Athletes compete in threes. This happens in seven stadiums around the world, of which Papendal was one. The images from the various complexes are then synchronized by time registration specialists.
“You have to do it all by yourself,” said athlete Marije van Hunenstijn about the match without direct opponents. “You cannot act on others.”
Groin injury
Schippers was happy to take action again for the first time since the corona stop. Finally fit again, after a serious groin injury had been troubling her since the end of last year. “I think it is ideal for occasional exercise.”
The relay team in the Netherlands, where Nadine Visser completed the three, had to beat the US and Switzerland. Not least because the runners were much better there with the weather.
