Marlou van Rhijn (Dutch pronunciation: [mɑrˈlu vɑn rɛin]; born 22 October 1991) is a professional Dutch sprint runner.[4] Van Rhijn, who was born without lower legs,[5] is the world record holder for T43 in the 100 and 200 metres events and runs with the aid of carbon fibre transtibial artificial limbs. She competes in T44 (single below knee incapacity) events though she is actually classified in T43 (double below knee).
Personal
Marlou van Rhijn was born on 22 October 1991 in Monnickendam in the Netherlands.
She studies commercial economics at the Johan Cruyff Institute in Amsterdam.[5]
Swimming
Until 2009, Van Rhijn was a member of the national team for swimmers with a disability. Amongst others, she was swimming at a World and a European championship. She swam several Dutch national records. She competed the S9 class and focused on the 50 and 100 meter freestyle.[6] She stopped swimming competitively in 2010 due to lack of motivation.[5]
Athletics
Van Rhijn switched sports in 2010, after being approached by Guido Bonsen, coach of the Dutch Parathletics Team. She did a trial, and was hooked.[5] Van Rhijn became a member of the Dutch Parathletics Team of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Atletiek Unie.[7] Despite qualifying as T43, she competes in the class T44 at the 100 and 200 meters. She qualified for the 2012 Summer Paralympics in May 2012, while competing at the Stadio Olimpico.[8]
She left the natioanal paralympic team. She started training after the Paralympic Games in Ookmeer, Amsterdam with her new coach Parcy Marte, who also trains non-paralympic people.
