Introduction
Dear Reader,
The Royal Dutch Athletics Federation is proud to present its delegation for Beijing 2008, the games of the
XXIX Olympiad. Every four years, the world of Athletics comes together in search of Olympic glory and
Dutch Athletics hopes to build on its successes in the last several years.
Dutch Athletics has made great strides since Athens
2004, where Chiel Warners (5th, decathlon) and
Lornah Kiplagat (5th, 10,000 metres) were the best
Dutch athletes. Only one year later Pole Vaulter Rens
Blom became the country’s first World Champion. In
2006 and 2007 Lornah won no less than three
World titles – two while running World Records.
Several other athletes have won World and/or
European medals in recent years, like European 800
meter champions Bram Som and Arnoud Okken.
Hurdler Gregory Sedoc and his compatriot Marcel
van der Westen scored a 1-2 at the European indoor
Championships. Among the other medallists were
heptathlete Karin Ruckstuhl (absent in Beijing
because of injury) and sprinter Jacqueline Poelman
(retired).
In Beijing, Lornah Kiplagat is again one of the main
Dutch major medal hopes. In the five years since
her first performance for The Netherlands (4th in
the ’03 World Championships 10,000 metres) she
has won accolades all over the world. This year, she
once again chooses the longest running distance on
track as her main event. Furthermore, she is joined
by her talented cousin Hilda Kibet, who will make
her Olympic debut in her second championships as a
member of the Dutch Athletics Team.
Another candidate for Dutch success in Beijing is
Rutger Smith. In 2005 and 2007 he managed an
absolutely unique feat by becoming the only thrower ever to win World Championships medals in
both Shot Put (Silver) and Discus Throw (Bronze).
Rutger may be best known for his shot putting
ability, but Osaka taught everybody not to underesti-
mate him with the discus either.
The rise and success of Rutger is an excellent
example of what Dutch Athletics wants to stand
for. With early talent scouting and subsequent
support, the Royal Dutch Athletics Federation has
put a system in place that should not only reap
rewards this year, but for many more Olympiads to
come. Recent success at the junior level – like the
two Dutch medals at last month’s World Junior
Championships in Bydgoszcz – is an encouraging
start for this policy.
The Dutch Athletics Team will travel to Beijing with
no stone left unturned in terms of preparation. Our
very best athletes were selected very early so they
could focus optimally on their Olympic campaign.
All athletes will travel early to our Olympic training
camp in Fukuoka, where the last preparation can be
done with full focus and under circumstances sufficiently similar to Beijing. We trust this means the
Dutch athletes will be fully prepared and ready to go
for their Olympic competitions.
Dutch Athletics wishes all athletes and delegations
excellent Olympic Games, with fair competition and
outstanding results!
Peter Verlooy
Performance Director of

A word with...
Hilda Kibet and Lornah Kiplagat
Family members competing in the same Olympics
is a rare feat, but Lornah Kiplagat and Hilda Kibet
are really unique in Dutch track and field. They are
not only cousins, but in Beijing they will line up for
the same distance. Ranked 5th and 8th in the world
over 10,000 metres, they are among the Dutch’
best medal hopes for the Dutch Athletics Team.
Q. Even though you will compete together, your
backgrounds are of course different.
- Hilda, as this is your first Olympics and even
your first major track competion: is there extra
nervousness?
A: Not really because I don’t have the pressure
Lornah has. She is three times World Champion
and has been to the Olympics before so that’s
a big difference. It means I can stay a bit in the
background so I think this will help me.
I do not feel stress because I have nothing to lose.
I will also be in Beijing to get experience, that is an
important thing.
- Lornah, as you are more experienced with 4th
and 5th places in the ’03 Worlds and ’04 Olympics,
are there tips and lessons you can give Hilda
about the Olympics?
A: The first lesson is to not listen too much to all
the good advice from people. In 2004 I listened
too much and got a bit confused. You are so
overwhelmed if you arrive in the Olympic village and
you have to be prepared for that. The best thing to
do is to see it as a normal race, just like any other
race. Stress costs a lot of energy and you need this in
your race. The good thing is that Hilda can use all our
experience.
Q. You are best known from Road Racing, but you
qualified in May (Hilda) and June. Have you been
able to do a lot of specific track training, or is that
6
too risky because of injuries?
Lornah: Absolutely, in July I trained three times a
week on the track so that will help. However, when
I ran 30:12 in Paris in 2003 I trained perhaps 3 times
on the track and it went pretty well. I don’t train
with spikes because the track in Iten, Kenya where
we train is a dirt track and too firm for spikes. The
last two weeks in Japan I’ll train in spikes on the
Mondo track to get used to it.
Hilda: I have trained quite a lot on the track,
also for the WC Cross. Therefore I don’t see it as
a problem. I do not have a lot of problems with
injuries so I am not worried. However, I train in
racing flats on the track, not on spikes.
Q. You have been training a lot in Kenya, your
country of birth. Will that assist you at all in
preparation of the expected circumstances in
Beijing?
A: No, not really. It is winter in Kenya and even
in the summertime we never have humidity and
high temperatures. The advantage for us is to
train at 2400 metres altitude, having hundreds of
miles of dirtroads, our training centre with Gym,
sauna, 25 metre swimming pool and our own
clinic for physiotherapy. Further we have a big
group of training partners which helps us in the
training. The last two weeks before the race we
are in Japan to get used to the climate.
Q. With your personal bests and qualifying times
it is obvious you have the speed to compete with
the best in 10.000 metres.
- Hilda, do you expect a fast final or more of a
tactical race. And what would you prefer?
A: I expect tactical race which is fine for me. I
normally start quite easy and come from the back,
I finish pretty fast so I am fine with that.
world champion 2005 Rens Blom also won a bron ze i ndoormeda l i n 20 0 3
- Lornah, will there be any room to work together
tactically?
A: It would be great but I think this will be difficult
because we run very differently. Hilda comes from
the back, I am a front runner so that might make it
tough to work together.
Q. Recent history proves the Ethiopian athletes
will be a force to be reckoned with. Do you
see any specific favourites? And is it a special
motivation to compete against Kenyan athletes,
your former compatriots?
Lornah: To be honest, I really don’t think about
competitors. I don’t know how they have trained,
I don’t know how they feel the day of the race and
I can’t change it. I run my own race and I don’t
care about the rest of the field. I have never spent
any energy on this and it brought me quite far.
The Kenyans I see just like anyone else, no special
feelings. Let them worry about me.....
Hilda: I don’t mind who is in the race. Of course
we know the Ethiopians are strong, the Chinese,
Americans, Russians. But I know what I have done
and know my strength and will go for it without
thinking about the competition.
Q. A number of international elite runners
have opted for the 10,000 metres instead of
the marathon in Beijing. Will we possibly see
you again in London 2012 and if so, over what
distance?
Lornah: Of course I will go for London. 3000
steeple? No, I think this will be the marathon.
After Beijing I want to focus on the marathon and
in four years I should have enough experience to
run a good Olympic marathon.
Hilda: Well, it depends on how I run in the 10,000
metre. I love the road but let’s see what the track
will bring me. It is too early for me to make any
li ssa boekelman
decisions and we have enoughme
time.
Q. From previous championships, Lornah is well
known from her eye-catching orange accessories
(hair, socks). Any exciting plans for this year?
Lornah: Just watch us!
Hilda: This will be my first Olympics so let’s see. I
want to focus on the race but you never know.

Ambition: In my third and last Olympics I mostly want
to have the feeling I am running a good race. The final
results then largely depend on the weather, the competition, race developments and other factors. In the end,
I hope to finish higher than in Sydney, where I also ran
the marathon (13th)

Ambition: Goals are fine at the beginning of the season but you
have to change them on your way to the Olympics.
With my time and shape I need to make the SemiFinals ... after that everything is possible. Furthermore I
hope to enjoy a lot of other sports so my motivation is
on its highest level when I’m competing.
My ambition is to be in my best shape ever. Even though
I broke my collar bone four weeks before my race, I still
believe everything will be ok! So let the games begin!
