Career

Visser's first sports were gymnastics and football; she took up athletics at age 13.[2] She represented the Netherlands at the 2011 European Youth Olympic Festival in Trabzon, winning gold in both the 100 m hurdles and the 4 × 100 metres relay.[3] Visser competed as a heptathlete at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Barcelona, placing eleventh with 5447 points.[3] In 2013 she placed fourth in the heptathlon at the European Junior Championships in Rieti, scoring 5774 points; in the heptathlon's opening event, the 100 m hurdles, she ran 13.21 (+1.5) to break Dafne Schippers's Dutch junior record from 2011.[3][4]

During the 2014 indoor season Visser set Dutch indoor junior records in both the 60 m hurdles and the pentathlon; as of 2015, her pentathlon score of 4268 points ranks her ninth on the world all-time junior list.[3][5] Outdoors, Visser competed in the Götzis Hypo-Meeting for the first time, scoring a personal best 6110 points and placing 14th.[6] At the 2014 World Junior Championships in Eugene, Oregon she took part in both the heptathlon and the 100 m hurdles, winning bronze medals in both events; in the hurdles she broke 13 seconds for the first time, her time of 12.99 (+1.9) setting a new Dutch junior and under-23 record.[3] Visser qualified for her first senior European Championships that summer, representing the Netherlands in the 100 m hurdles; she ran 13.12 (-2.0) in the heats and was narrowly eliminated from the semi-finals.[7]

In 2015 Visser became Dutch senior champion for the first time, winning the 60 m hurdles in 8.12 at the national indoor championships in Apeldoorn; she was selected for the European Indoor Championships in Prague, despite not quite meeting the national federation's qualification standard.[1][3] In Prague she qualified from the heats on time, but fell in her semi-final and was eliminated.[8] Outdoors, Visser improved her national under-23 hurdles record to 12.97 (+1.4) at the FBK Games in Hengelo on May 24; the following week, she placed fifth in the Hypo-Meeting with a personal best 6467 points.[3] Before the 2015 European U23 Championships in Tallinn Visser had reached the qualifying standard in five events (100 m, 200 m, 100 m hurdles, long jump and heptathlon); she chose to compete in the hurdles and the long jump, winning bronze in the hurdles with a time of 13.01 (-0.2).[9]

Visser is coached by Bart Bennema, who also coaches Schippers.[1]
