In page Fanny Blankers-Koen:

"

Her first appearance in the sport was in 1935, aged 17.[2] Her first competition was a disappointment, but in her third race, she set a national record in the 800 m. Fanny Koen soon made the Dutch team, although as a sprinter, not a middle-distance runner. At that time, 800 m was generally considered too physically demanding for female contestants and had been removed from the Olympic programme after 1928.[3][1] The following year, her coach and future husband, Jan Blankers, a former Olympic triple-jumper who had participated in the 1928 Olympics, encouraged her to enter the trials for the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.[2] At eighteen years old, she was selected to compete in the high jump and the 4 × 100 m relay.[citation needed]
