Eveline Saalberg (born 30 July 1998)[1] is a Dutch track and field athlete who specializes in the 400 metres hurdles and 400 metres. She won several global medals as part of the Dutch 4 × 400 metres relays.
Professional career
Saalberg started athletics at the age of eight. She became a member of GVAC. In the youth categories she competed in, she won several medals at Dutch junior championships. During her student days she distinguished herself by becoming a multiple Dutch student champion.[2] She combined all this with a board year as chair of the Student Athletics Association MSAV Uros.[3]
Saalberg experienced her breakthrough at the 2019 Dutch Athletics Championships in The Hague. Completely against expectations, she won the title in the 400 m hurdles there. She went under the minute for the first time with a time of 58.86 s.[4] Afterwards, she stated that on a training holiday in South Tyrol, she could fully focus on the technique of hurdling.[5] In the autumn of 2019, Saalberg joined the training group of athletics coach Laurent Meuwly to train at the National Sports Centre Papendal alongside Eva Hovenkamp and Femke Bol.[6]
Her personal best in the 400 metres is 51.22 seconds (Huelva 2022).
