Anouk Vetter
Anouk Vetter (Dutch pronunciation: [aːˈnuk ˈfɛtər]; born 4 February 1993) is a retired Dutch track and field athlete who competes in the combined events.
She won the silver medal in the heptathlon at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Vetter claimed bronze and silver in the event at the 2017 and 2022 World Athletics Championships respectively. She took the gold medal at the 2016 European Championships.
She is the Dutch record holder for the heptathlon with a score 6867 points, and won eight national titles (mostly for the long jump).
Anouk Vetter was on born 4 February 1993 in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
Vetter was exposed to athletics at a very young age. Her father, Ronald Vetter, is a long-standing athletics coach and her mother, Gerda Vetter-Blokziel a two-time Dutch javelin champion. "I grew up on the track, running around from the age of four and five playing on the high jump mat," she recalls.
Her passion became the heptathlon. However, her frail body was susceptible to injury. She failed to finish a heptathlon at either the 2011 European Athletics Junior Championships, 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics and the 2013 European Athletics U23 Championships. After replacing her coach in 2012 with her father, she decreased her training to 80 per cent compared to the other women in the combined event group to protect her fragile body. She won the Multistars Firenze Trofeo Zerneri Acciai, the opening meeting of the 2013 IAAF Combined Events Challenge with 5872 points.
Her breakthrough came in 2014 when she improved her previous personal best by a massive 444 points to 6316 points at that year's prestigious Hypo-Meeting in Götzis, Austria to place ninth. "Gotzis was really special," she remembered. "It is always fantastic to compete there because the crowd is so close to the track." Later that year she finished seventh at the Zürich European Championships.
In 2015, Vetter finished sixth at the Hypo-Meeting with a new personal best with 6458 points, and won the heptathlon at the Mehrkampf-Meeting in Ratingen, Germany. Despite an injury, she also competed in the heptathlon event at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics in Beijing, where she reached the 12th place with 6267 points. "Bearing in mind I didn’t think I could even start the competition, mentally it was a really big step for me," she reflected later.
