Jabik-Jan Bastiaans [personal], NED; Adriaan Helmantel [national], NED

She has competed in road cycling, and won the silver medal in the women's road race at the 2016 World Championships in Doha, Qatar. (procyclingstats.com, 15 Sep 2019; cyclingnews.com, 15 Oct 2016)

She broke a bone in her shoulder after falling during a race in April 2013. (kirstenwild.nl, 25 Jun 2016; twentesport.com, 24 Apr 2013)

She began cycling at age 13. She took up track cycling at age 24. (nrc.nl, 26 Feb 2019; kirstenwild.nl, 25 Jun 2016)

She bought her first bicycle in order to compete against her older brother Werner. She was not expecting a career as a racer, and so she focused on her studies, graduating as a physical education teacher. She combined her job at a high school in Deventer, Netherlands, with her career as a rider. She was afraid that she would find cycling boring and continued coaching young riders until 2006, when she asked for a one-year period of unpaid leave. She began competing and never went back.
