Career

Van Beek achieved its first international successes in 2010. At the Junior World Championships in Moscow , she won five golds and one silver medal. A year later in Seinäjoki , Finland , she only won a bronze medal in four-way combat. In November 2012, van Beek made his debut in the World Cup. At the World Cup final in Heerenveen , she achieved her best placement to date with second place over 1,500 meters. At the individual distance World Championships in 2013 in Sochi , she won silver over 1,500 meters after finishing seventh at the all- around World Championships in Hamar, Norway, a few weeks earlier . In the 2013/14 season van Beek started with two wins in Calgary . In addition to her individual victory over 1,500 meters, she was also successful with the team.

At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, van Beek won gold in the team pursuit together with Ireen Wüst , Jorien ter Mors and Marrit Leenstra . In addition, she only had to admit defeat to her teammates Wüst and ter Mors over 1,500 meters and secured bronze. Over the 1,000 meters, in which two of her teammates also won medals, she finished fifth. In the sprint over 500 meters, she finished 16th. A little later, van Beek finished the World Cup season in second place overall behind Ireen Wüst. In the following season she did not achieve a top 10 placement in the overall standings in any discipline. In 2015/16 , too , she clearly missed top placements. It was not until 2016/17 and 2017/18 that she made it back to the top of the world by finishing fourth in the Grand World Cup.

At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , van Beek and the team won the silver medal. Despite her best performance of the season, she had to admit defeat to her team colleague Marrit Leenstra by just 0.01 seconds over the 1,500 meters and came fourth. In the sprint, van Beek only came in 23rd.

At the European Speed ​​Skating Championships 2018 in Kolomna , van Beek won over 1,500 meters as well as two gold medals in the team pursuit with Melissa Wijfje and Marrit Leenstra.

For the European Championships and the World Championships 2019, van Beek was unable to qualify with only poor results in the elimination competitions of the Dutch. A little later it was nominated by national coach Jan Coopmans for team sprint and team pursuit at the individual distance World Cup 2019 in Inzell , but was not used there. Despite this personal defeat, van Beek traveled to the World Cup in Hamar in February 2019. There, after a second place on her parade route 1,500 meters, she achieved third place over 1,000 meters. A little later she finished seventh over her favorite distance at the season finale in Salt Lake City . In the overall World Cup, however, she did not get past 14th place.
