context_page_description: Nadine Visser is a Dutch athlete. She originally specialised in the heptathlon, but eventually switched to high hurdles. Visser is the 2017 European Athletics U23 Champion on the 100 m hurdles, and the 2019 European Athletics Indoor Champion on the 60 m hurdles. Visser is coached by Bart Bennema, who is also the coach of Dafne Schippers.
context_section_description: At the 2017 European U23 Championships she won a gold at the 100 m hurdles. "It was going well until the eighth hurdle and then it became kind of messy," said Visser. "But I am happy to finish first." She took a 2nd place at the Mehrkampf-Meeting in Ratingen (Germany), behind Carolin Schafer. In August 2017, Visser finished seventh with 6370 points at the World Championships in London (UK). She won a gold at the 100 m hurdles at the 2017 Summer Universiade for university athletes.
  The 2018 season started with a bronze at the World Indoor Championships 60m hurdles. She had clocked 7.83 to win her semi-final, obliterating Marjan Olyslager’s Dutch record of 7.89 which had stood since 1989. In consultation with her coach Bart Bennema, Visser had to make a decision about her future: the heptathlon or high hurdles. With the 2018 European championships in Berlin on the doorstep and given her chances of victory on the hurdles at that event, she decided to concentrate on hurdling. In June 2018, at the Diamond League in Stockholm she ran a new national record on the 100 m hurdles in 12.71, breaking the almost 30-year old record of Olyslager from 1989. She finished fourth at the 2018 European Athletics Championships in 12.88.
  In 2019, she started with winning the 60 m hurdles' title at the 2019 European Athletics Indoor Championships. At the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha she finished sixth in the 100 m hurdles final. She had broken her own national record in the semi-finals, clocking 12.62 (1.0).
