The whole Visma-Lease a Bike entourage also previously recognized that the team needs to “close the gap” to the world champion “Pogačar can win in almost any situation unless it’s a bunch sprint It’s special to see,” Heemskerk said last week “But what he does will not impact our approach “Maybe we will make an analysis of his strengths And while the Tour de France isn’t a w/kg contest Heemskerk was keeping faith that the physiology counts for Vingegaard’s big rematch with Pogačar That’s why he’s planning to make sure the Dane turns up for the French Départ a physiological monster Heemskerk has mapped out a training framework based on their winning preparations in 2022 and 2023 Tweaks have been made to reflect lost race days “There’s no point worrying about what Pogačar is doing,” Heemskerk told Velo And that means making a good head-start on Jonas’ fitness then considering what we might need to change after what we see in the Dauphiné “With already a good training week this week and the upcoming period before we go to Sierra we are making a head start on our rivals.” The horrifying realization as the W/kg numbers came out latter that day that even though Vingegaard crushed every other climbing performance in history he still got brutalized by Pogacar 7 W/kg for 40 minutes is hard to comprehend — Natskyge (@natskyge) April 26, 2025 Pogačar admitted after his solo blitz on Liège-Bastogne-Liège last weekend that he needs downtime after his audacious Evenepoel bounced straight from Liège to the Tour de Romandie, and Primož Roglič … he’s racing the friggin’ Giro d’Italia Vingegaard will be living like a monk and riding like a madman in his Tour de France boot camp “In a few weeks he’ll be ahead of schedule compared to previous years,” Heemskerk said “He missed out on racing but he’s got a head start on training and bodyweight before he goes to altitude.” The Dauphiné is seen as the final level exam ahead of the Tour de France It’s the race where every acceleration and micro-move is scrutinized and extrapolated to what comes a few weeks later But Heemkerk suggested they won’t get the jitters at any disappointment in mid-June The Dauphiné is really important because we will get an analysis of Jonas And the three weeks after that give us a lot of time,” he said “When I’ve seen Jonas in really good form before the Dauphiné I get a bit nervous It makes me worry if he can keep his shape through to the end of the Tour,” Heemskerk continued “It’s nicer to need to make one more little step than to already be at the top of the mountain.” Vingegaard has 10 weeks to get out of the foothills and onto the upper slopes of Heemskerk’s fitness mountain we probe the fundamental structure of particles that make up everything around us We do so using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments Know more The Higgs Boson The W boson The Z boson The Large Hadron Collider The Birth of the web Antimatter Latest news Media News The research programme at CERN covers topics from kaons to cosmic rays and from the Standard Model to supersymmetry See all resources Arts at CERN has welcomed Dutch artist Joan Heemskerk for a one-month residency at the Laboratory Heemskerk is a member of the renowned art collective JODI which was known for pioneering web-based art during the mid-1990s her work explores the norms and challenges of the languages of the internet and computer programs Heemskerk's residency is dedicated to artistic research and focuses on her project Drawing inspiration from Tim Berners-Lee’s proposal at CERN that all scientists should be able to exchange ideas this project seeks to craft a new universal language through a re-examination of the cryptographic characters Alice and Bob the material clay and the iconic computer program “Hello Heemskerk aims to explore the various laboratory facilities and engage in conversations with physicists she is examining how CERN's digital systems transmit and exchange information and how this compares to the ancient practice of conveying information using materials such as clay tablets This interest has taken her from the archived computer-coded printouts of experimental physicist Louis Dick to the working processes and the intricacies of the CMS experiment’s trigger and data acquisition systems On 31 October at 11 a.m., CERN’s Women in Technology group will host Heemskerk for a conversation about her artistic approach and current research, which will be followed by a Q&A session.

recovered through the season even though he was 2nd overall at the Tour de France even without the Itzulia Basque Country (2.UWT) crash in early April it was uncertain if he would have beaten Tadej Pogačar to Tour de France victory as the Slovenian rider was now on a much high level than before Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) was already training hard in a bid to close the gap to Pogačar especially after he had lost a lot of muscle mass when he was in hospital for two weeks after his crash By starting his hard winter training so early while Pogačar was having a post-season break Heemskerk said Vingegaard had an advantage “It is a huge advantage that we can start early with Jonas” “We need that if we want to close the gap with Pogacar Because after that crash Jonas lacked a few things “Jonas was in the hospital for twelve days without any activity and that caused him to lose a lot of muscle mass That had an impact on the rest of the year but Jonas went straight from the hospital to rehabilitation and to the Tour de France That all cost a lot of energy and he never fully recovered from that Jonas needs time to get his body back into the balance it was in before that fall “We can’t sit back and say that Jonas would have beaten Pogačar without that fall We have to accept that Pogačar has raised the bar even higher this year We know that we have a big task ahead of us.” We’re determined to make stickybottle.com much better for your enjoyment So become a ‘Stickybottle Supporter’ now from just €5 per month We’ve grown our audience significantly in recent years but

challenge The fresh foods company needed a flexible and scalable automation solution that would pick and stack orders allowing Heemskerk to deliver the freshest food just in time to supermarkets and other food service companies.  The solution  A robotic order picking installation at Heemskerk’s Rjinsburg facility in the Netherlands prepares orders according to each supermarket or food retailer’s needs so that the products can be cross docked directly onto supermarket shelves instead of being stored at distribution centers.  The application  Order picking crates of fresh fruit vegetables and ready-to-eat foods according to orders from supermarkets and food service companies.  Heemskerk Fresh & Easy has been ahead of the curve in creating products that make it easy for its customers to lead a healthy lifestyle Wim Heemskerk started the company in the 1960s selling chopped vegetable soup mixes that quickly became a regular dinner item in Dutch households for the convenience they offered to busy consumers Sixty years on and Heemskerk is on top of its game delivering anywhere between 3.5 million to 4 million fresh convenience products every single week to retail companies and fast food chain across the globe Buoyed by a growing preference for more plant-based Heemskerk has expanded its operations to offer more than 400 products such as fresh salads ready-to-cook meal boxes and pre-cut vegetables and fruit that can satisfy diverse customer needs and tastes Heemskerk faced challenges in the supply chain as the company needed to make just-in-time deliveries of fresh food products to supermarkets across the country As food such as fresh salads and ready-to-cook meals have very short shelf lives being able to reduce the amount of time that the food spent in the supply chain is crucial for Heemskerk and its supermarket customers who can stock the food for longer and reduce potential wastage This coupled with diverse food demands from end customers meant that the existing manual order picking and dropping operations at the Heemskerk facility was no longer sufficient for the company A shortage of skilled labor to support the large-scale process also increased manufacturing costs These pain points prompted Heemskerk to invest in a robotics automation solution from ABB that offered the speed and flexibility to support the company with faster manufacturing processes and shorter lead times to supermarkets ABB supplied a robot-centric solution to automate the order picking operations at Heemskerk’s production facility At the beginning of the product flow is an ABB IRB 660 four-axis robot that removes crates containing the orders for a particular supermarket and places them on a conveyor belt The crates then move to the order picking zone where six IRB 6700 six-axis robots positioned on a track pick up the crates and place them in “pigeon holes” that are designated for that supermarket Two other IRB 6700 robots positioned on the other side of the order picking zone consolidate the order picked crates to create stable mixed high stacks These crates are finally picked up by another IRB 660 four-axis robot that places the crates onto dollies to be transported directly to the supermarket This form of order picking makes the solution more robust as it can seamlessly process an endless variety of orders – a concept that is very useful to the daily changing volume orders of the fresh food industry While there are many benefits to be gleaned from the ABB robot solution one of the most important advantages for Heemskerk and its supermarket customers is that the solution reduces the amount of time the fresh produce spends in the supply chain minimizing wastage and creating a more sustainable solution for the fresh food industry of all the food produced and packaged for human consumption is wasted every year according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization and industry players are increasingly ramping up their efforts to reduce the scale of wastage The automated order picking capability of the ABB robotic solution allows logistics operators to cross dock products directly to supermarkets The ability for retailers to receive already order picked quantities for each store increases its shelf life by about one day in more traditional food logistics processes the packaged food is first stacked in the supermarket chain’s storage unit where employees pick and stack the food according to orders from each of its stores only after which they are transported the stores This process typically takes about half a day lowering the already short shelf life of fresh and natural food Another big advantage for Heemskerk is the flexibility that the ABB system offers the ABB robots are able to quickly adapt to varying demands from supermarket and grocery store customers whose volume and variety demands change almost every day and according to seasonality Unlike traditional logistics automation that typically handle individual units in a time-consuming order picking process the ABB robotic solution enables Heemskerk to deliver more than 60 large scale order picked deliveries every day While the system processes over 800,000 crates every week it can handle double or even triple that volume without needing any changes this flexibility allows Heemskerk to quickly ramp up volume based on demand without added investment and on the other hand the solution eliminates underutilization of the automation system on the rare days when demand is low The modular and standardized design of the ABB robot solution makes it very easy to add new robot zones to meet additional capacity Heemskerk plans to add more robots to its current system to support its future growth The entire solution can be installed in relatively low buildings and can even be split up into several modules that need not be necessarily placed next to each other This makes the automated logistics solution ideal for brownfield applications meaning reduced maintenance and spare parts costs ABB's website uses cookies.

He filled the gap in Jonas Vingegaard‘s mountain train when Sepp Kuss couldn’t start the Tour de France It was a rookie season Jorgenson described as “perfect.” His nomination for the prestigious Velo d’Or award suggests many others agree and still some way from the peak of his powers “Matteo is still developing,” Heemskerk said “The next years are when we might see him naturally going in a certain direction like really going for a win in a classic or grand tour “It’s at that point we will need to make choices for his program that give the best preparation toward that goal,” Heemskerk said Jorgenson is signed through 2026 with his Dutch powerhouse team He’ll be 27 years old and nudging toward his physiological prime in his contract year Visma-Lease a Bike’s fortunes in its ongoing wars with Tadej Pogačar and Mathieu van der Poel might have led Jorgenson down a certain path by that point “Matteo’s direction will depend on how he grows with us but also on management and how we need to fill roles for our plans,” Heemskerk said “But we’ll need to all agree it’s the right direction and if we need to change things,” the trainer said “But we’re not at the time to need to do that yet.” Heemskerk acknowledged Jorgenson’s multi-tool schedule isn’t ideal can put a ceiling on performance and squeeze the brakes on potential breakthroughs Heemskerk also trains Vingegaard and will work with Visma’s new signing Simon Yates He’ll be scouring Jorgenson’s power files this winter to pull out some extra percentages in the new year Matteo can switch from classics to stage races but it’s difficult for us to manage,” he said “It’s certainly a lot more complicated than with Jonas “We managed to juggle and keep all those balls in the air this year we can understand how to do it better next year,” Heemskerk continued Heemskerk is convinced 2024 was only the start for USA’s breakout star This season was Jorgenson’s first working in the dialed-down The Dutch team’s methodology is a whole galaxy away from the self-funded home-researched approach Jorgenson put himself through in his fledgling years with Team Movistar “We can bring in lots of new ideas for Matteo’s training but we cannot do it all in one year,” Heemskerk said “The second season is when a rider knows the teammates and staff and understands the philosophy,” he said “And people say the magic with coaching happens only after three years.” The question on everybody’s lips is whether there’s a grand tour future for Jorgenson in his second or third year with “The Killer Bees.” Eighth at the 2024 Tour de France while playing superdomestique for Vingegaard suggests a Kuss-style conversion could be in the cards He showed already he can do a strong third week in the Tour,” Heemskerk told Velo Jorgenson recently said he’s in no rush to lead over three weeks in 2025 “We’re yet to realize Matteo’s potential,” Heemskerk said and we’ve become familiar now from working together in racing and at the training camps So we know for sure there is more to come,” said the team trainer It seems the sky is the limit for Jorgenson He could be pushing toward peak orbit by 2026 Two-time Tour de France champion already back on the bike and ironing out the wrinkles ahead of a 2025 showdown with Tadej Pogačar Jonas Vingegaard is already laying the foundations for his Tour de France rematch with Tadej Pogačar. Visma-Lease a Bike trainer Tim Heemskerk told Velo that Vingegaard is tracing an accelerated 2025 roadmap after he shut down his season ahead of time with accumulated fatigue “Jonas is back in training and doing well,” Heemskerk told Velo “We’re already building up toward 2025 next year,” said Vingegaard’s long-time coach Vingegaard has been rolling steady miles and helping care for his newborn child at home in Denmark Pogačar and the rest of the pro peloton are in full-sofa off-season mode It’s just the head start Vingegaard needs after he was left a half-wheel behind in 2024 His season was turned upside down and never fully put right after that devastating crash in the Basque Country “We can build up to put in a really good foundation for next year by starting training this early,” Heemskerk said on a recent call “It’s something we really needed “Jonas is training really well on the bike but focussing on his strength and conditioning also,” he said “This means he can start to normalize again after he lost some muscle mass last year.” Heemskerk wasn’t able to confirm Vingegaard’s program for 2025 or comment on the speculation his athlete would debut at the Giro d’Italia Visma-Lease a Bike’s top staff are making painstaking reviews of a 2024 season that got away from them and will confirm calendars later in the winter Heemskerk did however suggest that the Tour de France, and a rematch with Pogačar Vingegaard will need every extra kilometer he can get ahead of the July grand départ “We can only accept Pogačar raised the bar this year,” Heemskerk said big advantage we could start early with Jonas We need it if we’re to push on and close the gap with Pogačar.” But Visma-Lease a Bike knows a few weeks of extra base training won’t give Vingegaard a golden bullet Pogačar blew everybody away this year in what was a season for the ages and a mammoth contract extension are just the start of Pogačar’s 2024 roll of honor “We cannot sit back and say that Jonas could have beaten Pogačar this year with proper preparation and not losing time to the crash,” Heemskerk told Velo “We need to evaluate and look at everything to beat him “We know we have a very big task ahead of us.” Three months after a career threatening crash, Jonas Vingegaard is back at his best level and took his 4th TDF stage win, spanking Pogacar in an uphill sprint.

She is a 4-time Olympian, having competed in 2008, 2012, 2016 and this past summer in Tokyo, Japan, collecting 4x100m free relay gold in Beijing, as well as silver in the same event in London 4 years later. Heemskerk most recently took gold in the women’s individual 100m freestyle at the 2020 European Championships.

usually not much of a reason behind the artist’s choice other than that everyone knows these sites or they’ll likely sell well created this print series from the inspiration of his personal experiences living in the city whether it be the view from his apartment window or the spot where he and his wife kissed goodbye every morning The visual element that sets Heemskerk’s work apart is its bright Rather than using realistic colors or traditional black-and-white he chose a style that he feels reflects the vibrancy of New York City and its residents Remko Heemskerk moved to New York three years ago when his wife got a job at the UN He had left behind a 15-year career as a graphic designer and art director so decided to start drawing again when they landed in Greenwich Village His work quickly evolved into the now-world-famous block-color building and streetscapes all of which have a personal story for the couple Shepard Fairey’s stencil on the Bowery represented for the couple “the gateway to the Lower East Side,” where they would go for “cheap beer and good snacks.” The artist sketches his ideas on paper and then transfers them to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop where he uses color to highlight a specific building or aspect Some buildings are so grey and boring that I can’t see them without color I always say that my artwork is pure architecture but the color represents the vibe and the people in the city A striking composition is more important than reality Sometimes I put photos in Photoshop and copy and paste everything until I have the perfect picture Those files can be a basis for an illustration file That is just what I like about being an illustrator Heemskerk and his wife are now back in the Netherlands, where he is still creating works from

after broken collarbone Jonas Vingegaard’s coach says the Tour de France champion is on track in his return from injury and could join a Visma-Lease a Bike training camp in Tignes next month.  Tim Heemskerk praised Vingegaard’s mental and physical strength and said his rider was firmly on track to increase his training load as he aims to be on the Tour start line in Florence on 29 June.  "We're dealing with a two-time Tour de France champion," Heemskerk said "We know these guys are mentally really tough but also can recover really fast At the time of crashing these guys are already really fit Vingegaard is currently at home in Denmark and is continuing to gradually increase his outdoor riding Heemskerk said he was encouraged by the communication he’d received from Vingegaard’s medical team including physiotherapists but that he was prepared to "put the brakes on" should the 27-year-old need to pause his return to training.  "Every time the messages we've got are that he's improving so fast," he explained "That's the same for every time there's been something going on in the last six years when I was working with him.  "Every day we've been keeping in touch with each other and every day it's going in the direction of maybe doing some normal training again in just a matter of time." Heemskerk pointed out that the nature of Vingegaard’s injuries inevitably mean that his return to fitness won’t always be plain sailing "You have to remember with this that it's not always going to be a straight line," he said "Maybe some days things will not go in the direction we want it looks like every day is going towards improvement "But you cannot predict tomorrow or the day after maybe then there is pain or something going on but at the moment it looks like every day we can add a little bit and every day we're getting closer to getting back on track "I'm positive at the moment seeing that every day we can add a little bit to his riding and every day we get the feedback that this is going in the right direction from the physio working with him in Denmark." With roughly eight weeks until the Florence Grand Départ Heemskerk's aim is for Vingegaard to gradually increase his training volume with the aim of joining up with his teammates at Visma-Lease a Bike’s final Tour training camp in Tignes.  he reiterated the sentiment of Visma CEO Richard Plugge and said that Vingegaard would only travel to Italy if he was fully fit and ready.  He said: "When we really look at how much time we have till the start of the Tour then we know that Jonas is at the best place at the moment to build base levels to maybe start doing some intervals soon and to continue working with the physio in Denmark.  Denmark is not the place to prepare for the Tour when things are going in the right direction he'll be able to join a part of the preparation with all the other riders We have a team going now to Sierra Nevada preparing and then that team will also go to the Criterium du Dauphine and then to Tignes." "I really hope we will improve every day so that he's able to join the team in Tignes and be part of a group," he added I think that's the most important thing now and I know it will be really important in the next two But Heemskerk suggested that could change depending on how the next weeks play out.  "Maybe it's just training all the way and there might be no race,” he said “But it will depend also on what the feedback from Jonas will be in the next two to three weeks.  my thoughts are just about tomorrow and this next little training block.. I think in two weeks from now we will have a really really better view of where we are at to enable us to predict a programme.  I'm just thinking about the fact that we just have eight weeks for training time." 22 May 2024 | Tennis SA National Volunteer Week recognises the diverse passions and talents everyone brings Thank you for your commitment and the positive impact within the tennis community I have been a volunteer I think since around the age of 8 (36 years!)

answering any questions and changing things They were prepared and respected any religious decisions The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign which took a huge burden off my mind at the time From the time I called to the completion of all the services There was a sense of caring from each staff member I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve Everything that was arranged for us was perfect Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect I liked the personal treatment given to my mother who is 97 years old I found Springfield employees pleasant and sincere was that the funeral home would help me get through

challenging time You have now taken care of both of my parents with professionalism and care Springfield Funeral Home is always professional We appreciate that you have dedicated staff for all needs

caring as each guest arrived Keep up the good work that you do as it is such an important service you provide It is still the most difficult time in a person’s life We appreciated the peace of mind that everything was being looked after You provide a wonderful service for people going through a traumatic time The kindness and professionalism shown by the staff at Springfield Funeral Home was exemplary by Jessie Tu | November 11 Detectives in Amsterdam have created a hologram of a young sex worker who was murdered more than a decade ago to bring awareness to the case which remains unsolved Szabo’s deceased body was found with multiple stab wounds Dreijer-Heemskerk hopes that the hologram of the young worker displayed in Amsterdam’s red light district will help members of the public jog their memories and lead to the capture of the killer “A young woman, only 19, [was] taken from life in such a horrific way,” Dreijer-Heemskerk said “[I] hope people will remember the case again when they see this [hologram] There are certainly several people who know who committed that crime.”  Betty’s story is particularly poignant in a number of ways,” she continued “[She] worked long hours as a sex worker and kept working until just before she gave birth to her son This son was placed with a foster family shortly afterwards and never had the chance to get to know his mother.”  Police have announced a €30,000 (AUD$48,832) reward to encourage witnesses to come forward with any information It’s part of their extensive week-long campaign to draw the public’s attention to Szabo’s tragic death The hologram is being displayed in a house in the Amsterdam Red Light District that has been devoted entirely to the murder case where large stickers have been stuck on windows providing information about the case television screens display footage of the crime scene and final images of Szabo seen alive It was the first time Amsterdam police used 3D visualisation technology to make a holographic representation of a murdered victim — something the coordinator of the Amsterdam Wanted and Missing Persons Team “This is the first time we do something like this and before deciding to use a hologram for the campaign we brainstormed with different parties both within and outside the police on whether we should go ahead with this and how we should set it up there has also been contact with her relatives about this We are committed to doing this with dignity and with the clear purpose of achieving some form of justice for Betty by finding her murderer or murderers.” “We believe that Betty’s hologram may create a certain connection with her and thus convince a person to come forward so that informants know who they’re doing it for and the hologram is a way of taking this a step further.” Detectives hope the campaign will also bring awareness to the risk and dangers sex workers face in their employment Female sex workers face higher rates of violence and homicide than the general population. In France, ten sex workers were killed in a six-month period in 2019. Three years prior, the French government passed a law making it illegal to pay for sex forcing workers to conduct their business in riskier by Jessie Tu Gina Rinehart has released a statement blaming “the left media” for the Liberal party’s election loss over the weekend but a new study reveals factors contributing to women adjusting well A man who groped 18 women at a Melbourne nightclub has been given a two-year community corrections order & 180 hours of unpaid community work New research has revealed that women who out-earn their male partners in heterosexual households report lower relationship satisfaction They are important opportunities for women to reclaim public spaces at night step (or run) into their physical power and lift each other up in the process The uselessness of most DEI measures may be a feature Women’s Agenda is published by the 100% women owned and run Agenda Media Advertising and partnerships support our independent journalism We acknowledge and pay respect to the past present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of this nation and the continuation of cultural spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with the Masters SC Championships to follow at the same venue from December 10-16 Poland will host its second ever European Championship while partnering with the state tourism department to promote the country Italian Sara Curtis won her fourth gold medal after just three days of racing at European Juniors extending the country’s lead on the medal table The 16-year-old Tuncelli dropped more than 12 seconds from his PB and broke the World Junior Record by over four seconds in a stunning 14:41.89 El repaso tras concluir los 14 días de acción en cuatro disciplinas deportivas en los que 800 deportistas compitieron por 75 medallas doradas October 07th, 2021 Europe, European Championships, International, News, Previews & Recaps The Royal Dutch Swimming Federation has released its 20-person roster for the upcoming European Short Course Swimming Championships which will be held in Kazan While the nation will send some of its top swimmers to the meet, two of the Netherlands’ most successful swimmers in recent history are absent from the roster. Ranomi Kromowidjojo and Femke Heemskerk who between them have won 40 short course Euros medals Heemskerk is the less surprising omission considering that she recently announced her upcoming retirement The 4-time Olympic sprinter and current Energy Standard team member will retire from the sport after her final ISL match of the season Kromowidjojo on the other hand is a more surprising swimmer to opt-out of the competition as she has not shared any similar plans to Heemskerk The most likely reason that she won’t swim at Euros is that her International Swimming League team is set to begin competing in playoffs on November 11 Considering that Iron is the lowest-ranked team advancing into the playoffs Kromowidjojo could be saving up to maximizing her point-scoring ability during ISL playoffs Along with those women, the Dutch will bring Olympic silver medalist in the 100 and 200 breaststroke Arno Kamminga, Olympic finalist in the 100 backstroke Kira Toussaint, and Olympic finalist in the 50 freestyle Thom de Boer At the most recent European Short Course Championships the Netherlands finished 3rd on the medals table with 5 gold Check out the full Dutch roster for the 2021 European Championships below Watch out for young Tim Hoogerwerf making his first National Team for the Dutch More from Ben DornanSee All Femke Heemskerk Given Hope to Race 50 Freestyle in Tokyo Femke Heemskerk‘s hopes of competing in the 50 free at the Tokyo Games are still alive after the Royal Dutch Swimming Federation (KNZB) upheld an appeal by the two-time Olympic relay medallist The 33-year-old had initially recorded the second-fastest qualification time for the one-length race to seemingly book her spot in the event in Tokyo when she went 24.71 at the 2019 Swim Cup Amsterdam However, she was forced to miss the Rotterdam Qualification Meet in December after her partner tested positive for Covid-19 and looked on as Valerie van Roon went inside 25 seconds for the first time in 24.63 to claim the second spot and oust Heemskerk in the process. Now the KNZB has ruled in favour of the two-time world relay champion and will reveal in the coming days how they intend to find a solution that will be satisfactory to all parties A statement on the governing body’s website read: “In the disciplinary case regarding the qualification of the Olympic Games women’s 50m freestyle “Because Heemskerk was forced to miss the Rotterdam Qualification Meet (RQM) in December after her husband had tested positive for COVID-19 she felt that she deserved another chance at this (part) The disciplinary committee ruled in her favour today “The KNZB is now considering the decision and will come up with a response to the situation that has arisen within a few days.” It has been a positive few days for Heemskerk who scorched to a speedy 53.76 in the 100 free at the Flanders Qualification Meet at the weekend Welcome to our community.

She was a member of the quartet who won silver four years later at London 2012 and on top of her Olympic medals, Heemskerk will leave the pool with eight world – two of them gold – and 18 European medals, including three trips to the top of the podium. There were also seven world short-course titles among a haul of 18 and 14 European 25m medals of which five were gold. Heemskerk’s astonishing longevity was underlined this year when she won her first individual international long-course title at the age of 33 with victory over 100m freestyle in Budapest. At the Tokyo Olympics in July, Heemskerk reached the 100 free final where she placed sixth. Now she has announced she will retire following the ISL in which she will compete for Energy Standard at the Pieter van den Hoogenband Swimming Stadium in Eindhoven, Netherlands, with the playoffs starting next month. Should Energy qualify for the final as expected, she will conclude her fine career on 7/8 January with the host city yet to be announced. A post shared by Femke Heemskerk (@femheemskerk) Among the many messages sent by current and former swimmers were ones from Sarah Sjostrom Chad Le Clos and Pieter van den Hoogenband a legend of the pool with three Olympic titles Federica Pellegrini indicated that she too will be in Eindhoven for the Aqua Centurions saying: “Together until the last stroke,” with the 2004 Olympic champion’s career also drawing to a close Freya Anderson said: “Thank you for being such an inspiration ❤️ congrats beaut❤️” echoing words she spoke to Swimming World before Tokyo “To see Femke winning her first individual gold at 33 sort of takes the pressure off you I guess “Because I’ve been junior swimming and even at the worlds when I was 16 I’ve always had that pressure on me – oh you have to be good now 32) still going and being successful sort of makes you relax a bit and think maybe your time will be a bit later on.” Heemskerk made her global debut at in 2005 at the World Championships in Montreal where she swam the heats of the 4×100 and 4×200 free Heemskerk was a member of the so-called ‘Golden Girls’ sprint relay with Ranomi Kromowidjojo the quartet remained unbeaten and during that period they became Olympic world and European champions – in both short and long cours – and in 2008 they swam a world record that stood for six years She will head for the next chapter of her life having competed in four Olympics eight long-course and four short-course World Championships seven European Championships in the 50m pool and 10 short-course December 15th, 2019 Europe, International, News, Previews & Recaps We reported how Spanish standout Hugo Gonzalez qualified for the 2020 Olympic Games in the men’s 200m IM but the 20-year-old wasn’t the only one to accomplish the feat on the final day of action at the 2019 Swim Cup Amsterdam Ron Polansky of Israel also scored an OLY-qualifying effort in the men’s 200m IM He produced an outing of 1:59.45 to get under the FINA A cut of 1:59.67 in the men’s 200m IM final Dutch racers Ranomi Kromowidjojo and Femke Heemskerk each qualified for the women’s 50m free after their commanding performances in the event this evening 2012 Olympic champion in the event Kromo first put up a fierce time of 24.42 in the morning to easily clear the 24.77 needed to include this event on her Tokyo agenda The 29-year-old sealed the deal with her almost identical outing of 24.46 this evening that landed her atop the podium also clearing the Olympic standard with a silver medal-worthy result of 24.71 This makes a 2nd event for veteran Heemskerk who already notched an Olympic qualifying time in the 100m free in last night’s action The Dutch ace logged a winning 100m free mark of 53.23 to dip under the Tokyo threshold of 53.62 representing the only woman of last night’s final to do so Kromo doubled up on her 50m free victory with another gold in the 100m fly this evening. Stopping the clock in 59.36, Kromo led a trio of sub-minute swimmers, followed by Emilie Lovberg‘s (NOR) 59.38 and Maria Ugolkova‘s (SUI) 59.49 while Ugolkova’s was within .20 of her fastest result ever Equaling the Olympic qualifying standard in the men’s 100m fly was Isreali swimmer Tomer Frankel The man touched the wall under the FINA A cut of 51.96 with his performance consisting of splits of 24.29/27.63 The European Short Course Champion in the event, Marius Kusch, settled for silver in 32.31 followed by Dutchman Joeri Verlinden‘s 52.36 Visiting British swimmer Elliott Clogg of the City of Sheffield posted a winning 200m back mark of 1:57.96 That checks in as a huge personal best for the 19-year-old English national teamer crushing his previous PB of 1:59.83 from this year’s British Summer Championships Clogg’s time now ranks the Sheffield swimmer as the 7th fastest British performer all time Ron Polonsky of Israel also qualified for Tokyo in the 200 IM with 1:59.45 Frenkel actually went 0.04 seconds under the Olympic A cut is she locked out of Tokyo since these two have “made” the standards now I’d suspect the two fastest during the qualifying period would go but many countries have their own unique ways of choosing the team members But I’m unaware of any women of the Netherlands that are faster than these two flying dutchwomen Indeed the two fastest go in the qualification period There are a few outsiders who have a small chance at beating the 24,7 from Heemskerk Men’s 200 Back is suddenly a really competitive event in Britain McNally & Clogg 1.57… Trials should be interesting The minute a sub-53 100 backstroker shows up We’ve been waiting a long time though One of these 2backstrokers is bound to have the speed to go a good 100 for that relay?!?

Banned From Olympics Chinese news outlet Xinhua has reported that the nations of Thailand and Malaysia have both been banned from sending weightlifters to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo due to multiple doping cases The ban applies regardless of the Olympics being postponed one year due to the COVID-19 situation ‘The Thai Amateur Weightlifting Association (TAWA) and the Malaysian Weightlifting Federation (MFW) have also been suspended as members of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) for three years and one year 9 Thai weightlifters had tested positive for banned substances at the 2018 World Championships leading to the nation withdrawing from international competitions Malaysia had 3 weightlifters caught doping in a calendar year The nations have until April 22nd of this year to appeal the bans 2019 stands as Italy’s most successful Short Course European Championship ever they beat out the country’s 2010 performance Check out which nation took home the overall points trophy which athlete entered the list of most medals per a single European SC Championships and more L’Italia ha ottenuto un risultato da record ai Campionati Europei in Vasca corta di Glasgow.Con 41 atleti convocati October 30th, 2019 Europe, International, News The Netherlands has announced its 8-person squad set for the European Short Course Championships taking place in early December in Glasgow Says KNZB head coach Marcel Wouda of the squad “A small and high-quality team is going to Glasgow with only swimmers who consciously choose to swim a peak race on a short course.” Notably absent from the squad is Ranomi Kromowidjojo the Netherlands’ most decorated athlete at the 2017 edition of the European Short Course Championships Kromo took gold in the women’s 50m fly and 100m free Maaike de Waard is another individual medalist who is missing from this year’s roster with de Waard claiming 2 bronze medals across the 50m back and 50m fly The Dutch relays were also successful 2 years ago with the nation topping the women’s 200m free relay podium as well as claiming gold in the mixed free and mixed medley relays the remainder of the squad will need to step it up to repeat results from 2017 “A number of other top swimmers choose to let this edition of the European Championship short course pass by and give priority to the Swim Cup Amsterdam The Swim Cup is scheduled weekend later on the long track and is dominated by Olympic qualification,” says Wouda Although Kromo, Kim Busch, Kamminga, Puts, and Toussaint are all members of International Swimming League (ISL) Team Iron, the squad is most likely not going to be one of the four teams headed for the final Vegas showdown slated for mid-December whose spot among the top 4 ISL teams bound for Vegas is all but locked Among the men’s national records that bit the dust on day 1 in Rotterdam, courtesy of Thom de Boer in the men’s 50m free and Arno Kamminga in the men’s 50m breast the women’s events also brought the heat at this Olympic qualifer In the women’s 50m free, racing veteran Ranomi Kromowidjojo topped the podium with ease hitting a time of 24.38 to further establish herself as the Netherlands’ premier 50m freestyler That nearly matched her already Olympic-qualifying effort of 24.35 which rendered her the 6th place finisher at the 2019 World Championships A shakeup happened in the runner-up spot, however, as Valerie Van Roon sneaked into the wall for silver in a time of 24.63 That result is significant for two important reasons her performance checks in as a huge lifetime best for 22-year-old Van Roon who had never before been under the 25-second threshold Van Roon’s previous PB rested at the 25.21 she raced at 2018’s Swim Cup – The Hague is that Van Roon’s time now qualifies her as the 2nd 50m freestyler for the postponed 2020 Olympic Games set for next year in Tokyo Her 24.63 time not only dipped under the FINA ‘A’ cut of 24.77 but it also outperforms 1 of the 2 previous Olympic qualifiers headed into this meet Entering Rotterdam, Femke Heemskerk had already tentatively qualified for the Olympic Games in the women’s 50m free and 100m free individual events from her semifinal finishes from last year’s World Championships Teammate Kromowidjojo had already qualified for the same events as well Per the Dutch Olympic selection policy, the first phase of Olympic qualification began with the 2019 World Championships and ends with Rotterdam Any swimming events without two qualifiers after this weekend would still be up for grabs if anyone could notch a qualifying time at either the 2021 Swim Cup Eindhoven in April or the 2021 European Championships Unfortunately for Heemskerk, the 33-year-old had to withdraw from Rotterdam at the last minute to the fact that her husband had tested positive for coronavirus the pair are in quarantine and the Olympic medalist was unable to compete here Her time from Gwangju which previously put her on the list for Olympic qualification stood at 24.71 All that needed to happen for Heemskerk to retain her OLY qualification was for no one but Kromo to be faster than 24.71 she now moves into the 2nd Olympic qualifying spot with Heemskerk unable to race As we mentioned Heemskerk still has a qualification spot in the individual 100m free at this point Should hold trials in June and the top two go All the times at meet x plus times at meet y stuff is bogus and leads to out of form athletes at big meets Btw this is not a criticism of Heemskerk and I am not implying anything about her possible performance level next year It is simply an observation based on watching thr same thing happen year in year out Why not welcome a new name rather than focus on who is missing the spot Because Femke didn’t actually race for this spot The time van Roon made would be Heemskerk 4th time ever in her whole career So it is not a given she would have beaten van Roon She races at other races for her spot but simply was not fast enough Haha …For better or For Worse … but this feels really unfair towards Heemskerk You need to go into an isolated quarantine 14 days before an important competition That means no spouse or significant other or any family or roommates can be in your household during that time period If you want to chance it go ahead but you can’t blame anyone but yourself I wonder if having the vaccine would allow you to compete you’re getting downvotes but you’re not wrong tough lesson and there’s no guarantee she would have been faster anyway If this was the only opportunity to qualify for the Olympics it might have been better to stay in a hotel anyone could have come into contact with someone who had covid and been forced to quarantine if that’s what the rules are April 13th, 2022 Europe, International, News The 2022 FINA World Aquatic Championships are spanning June 17th through July 3rd and now we know which athletes will be representing the Netherlands in the pool and open water in Budapest Reminder you can view the SwimSwam 2022 FINA World Championships roster index here. Along with its World Para Swimming Championships and World University Games rosters an 18-strong lineup of an even number of men and women will be representing the orange in Hungary For the first time since 2005, the Dutch roster on the women’s side does not include the iconic names of Femke Heemskerk and Ranomi Kromowidjojo Heemskerk made her World Championships debut in 2005 while Kromo was the next edition in 2007 with both women having recently announced their retirements the Royal Dutch Swimming Federation (KNZB) says that their relay lineups will be determined in Budapest Also noteworthy is the fact that national record holder Arno Kamminga does not have the 50m breast listed by him The 26-year-old Kamminga nabbed a qualification time in that event; however he told SwimSwam his decision to race it will come once the competition is underway Dutch Roster for 2022 FINA World Championships the Netherlands finished 14th in the overall medal table with just one individual silver medal earned at the hands of Kromo in the women’s 50m fly World Para Swimming Championships Roster for NED Femke already participated at the World Champs of Montreal 2005 so I guess it is the first time in 17 years The last World Champs without Kromo or Femke Alex Popov won both sprint frees and some 18 year old boy pushed fly and IM to new levels FINA qualifying period for WCs includes the dates Caspar went 59.5 and 2.08.5 (Dec 2020) KNZB has a tighter window for WC qualifying He will likely get to swim the 100 in Budapest but it’s at the Federation’s discretion Subscribe to our newsletter and receive our latest updates! © 2025 Swim Swam Partners, LLC.

Heemskerk’s 51.29 from last year makes her the official top seed and her consistency over the years make her tough to go against with both of them set to compete in the ISL final it’s tough to know exactly how much rest they’ll have here We’ve also seen 52s this year from Blume, the 2017 bronze medalist, Great Britain’s Freya Anderson and Italian Federica Pellegrini Femke Heemskerk Photo Andrea Masini/ Deepbluemedia/Insidefoto the field thins out a bit and the medal picture becomes a little clearer Pellegrini and Anderson’s times from ISL London are separated by just 0.11 Heemskerk has the quickest best time at 1:51.69 and she also has a 1:51.91 under her belt from last year Anderson’s 1:53.33 from a few weeks ago broke a longstanding British Record and Pellegrini has proven she always swims best when the pressure is on A win would be her sixth in the event at this meet will look to capitalize and get on the podium if one of the top-three slips up Pellegrini is a four-time medalist

will get 4 individual womens freestyle medals here I’m not sure that they’ll both get medals in the 100 I do think the article under-estimates Hopkin mind she’s been on fire for Arkansas and on a steep upward curve for the last 12-18 months So if we’re doing bold predictions here’s mine: Hopkin to do the 50-100 double 🙂 I reckon Hopkin will win the 50 and medal in the 100 (possibly win And I

The matter wasn’t over however and the Royal Dutch Swimming Federation (KNZB) disciplinary committee upheld Heemskerk’s appeal in January. Following mediation with both swimmers it was decided that the pair would have the opportunity to record a faster time on Friday in Eindhoven with the times they’ve already recorded still standing. As it turned out it was Heemskerk who claimed the second berth and she said: “I am especially proud of my great PB. “Twice I swam faster than previously. “I was really looking forward to this day, but I am also happy that it is over. It was a tight race. “Two days ago I read a nice quote from tennis star Martina Navrátilová. She said the ball doesn’t know how old she is.” Van Roon’s disappointment was clear as she said: “You’ve already done that a hundred or a thousand times. It is important to execute your plan.  “These are five very nasty and tough months.” Van Roon will no doubt be devastated, her joy at booking her spot in December shared then on social media.
