Nadine Visser Has Easily Reached the Semi-Finals in the 100-meter Hurdles at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo on Sunday. In The Marathon in The Japanese Capital, Anne Luijten finished Seventeenth.
Visser Confirmed in the heats of the 100-meter Hurdles That She is in top form. The Thirty-Year-Old From North Holland Finished First in Her Race With A Comfortable Lead. She Clocked 12.48. “It was a good race,” Visser Said Shortly After the Finish. But she added that she can still go faster.
Earlier This Season, Visser Improved Her Dutch Record to 12.28 in The Diamond League in Chorzow. That is The Sixth-Fastest Time in the World This Year.
The semi-finals and the final of the 100-meter Hurdles are Scheduled for Monday. A Place in the Final is Expected for Visser. She has bone in the final of a major championship much more often in her career, but a world championship medal is still missing. Visser finished Fourth in the Olympic Final in Paris Last Year. Sixth Place in Doha in 2019 is the best result at a world championship.
