Schulting won a gold medal on the 400 m hurdles at the 1979 Summer Universiade in Mexico City in 48.44 seconds, a time that is still (as of 2012) the Dutch national record. At these games he also won a silver medal with the 4 × 400 m relay team. Schulting competed in the 1980 Summer Olympics on the 400 m, 4 × 400 m and the 400 m hurdling, but only reached the semifinals in the latter event.
