Laurien Hoos Biography

Laurien Hoos is one of the most popular and richest Athletics Competitor who was born on August 18, 1983 in Beverwijk, Netherlands. Laurien Hoos was born out of a complete athletics family. Nearly everyone on her mother’s side has participated in athletics as well. When she earned her swimming certificates at the age 6 she was allowed to participate in athletics too. She began to train every week for two hours with Atletiekvereniging Hera, which is still her team. There is an elder brother Jeroen (11 July 1979) and an older sibling Lisanne (2 July, 1987).

In the summer, she began taking extra long jump training sessions. Later, she started receiving additional leaps and jump training. The year 2004 was the first time she didn’t compete in any noteworthy events, but she did become the top Dutch athlete in the European Cup meeting in Hengelo in which she improved her personal record to 5631 points. In the middle of 2004, she ended her relationship her trainer Peter Winkel and found a new coach in the form of Joseph Sweeney.

The injury she suffered in Helsinki was just a start for more physical disappointments. In January 2006 she damaged her quadriceps femoris muscle and in April 2006 she damaged her ankle at three different spots, which meant the end of her 2006 season. She made her comeback in Götzis in 2007, but due to bronchitis and sinusitis she only reached a total of 6061 points during that event. That result was however enough to qualify for the World Championships in Osaka, but in the last week before the deadline a third Dutch athlete, Yvonne Wisse improved Hoos’s score and as there were only three tickets (the others went to Ruckstuhl and Jolanda Keizer) available she was unable to go to Japan. Instead of participating at the World Championships she competed at an international event in Woerden and she won the meeting with 6199 points, which was enough for an Olympic nomination. At the end of 2007 Hoos decided to move to France to live with her partner and fellow athlete Rudy Bourguignon in Amiens. She divided her time over both France and the Netherlands to a 50-50 scale, but had to say goodbye to coach Arno Mul as Bourguignon’s coach Jean- Paul Bourdon would take over from him.

To qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics Hoos only needed to score a total of 5800 points in 2008 due to her performance in Woerden. At the international meeting in Arles she scored 5961 points and finished second, which was enough to secure her Olympic debut in Beijing. To refine some of her disciplines on the road to China she focused a bit more on the shot put and on the hurdles, resulting in two bronze medals at the Dutch National Championships.

The year 2002 was the time she was able to get herself into her participation in the World Junior Championships in Kingston, Jamaica. On the first day, she was in 4th place in the ranking. Because of three mishaps in the long jump the next day, she was placed back in the rankings, which resulted in disappointment. Additionally, in the European Cup in 2002 as and at the Dutch National Championships in 2003 she was able to make three mistakes in the long leap. Her next competition included in the European Cup 2003 in Tallinn, Estonia where she got rid of the negative reviews surrounding her performance. She was able to qualify to compete in Estonia’s European Under-23 Championships with 5592 points that was her personal best, which was 180 points. In her time at the European Championships she impressed with an overall 7th place.

Laurien Hoos (born 18 August 1983 in Beverwijk) is a Dutch athlete who is primarily active in the heptathlon, as well as in the sport of hurdles.

When Hoos was at the point of D-junior, she added two training sessions of speciality to her program as she began to train as a hurdler as well as to train for throwing discipline in the sport. Hoos completed these additional training sessions twice in two weeks. As time passed, the training sessions got more intensive and more professional, which led to being invited to the national heptathlon squad of the Netherlands at the latter part of 1997. After taking part in various international junior nation competitions Hoos was invited to attend her first senior meet in 2001, when she competed at the European Cup in Ried, Austria. In this competition, she surpassed the maximum level required to be able to compete at the European Junior Championships, but due to the fact that there were 2 other Dutch athletes who had done exactly the same thing and also scored higher, she was unable to compete in the competition.

The training sessions became even more intense and the progression was visible straight away. At the 5 nations tournament in Clermont-Ferrand in February 2005 she improved her personal best at four out of five pentathlon disciplines and improved her pentathlon record with 300 points. Due to this result she was invited to take part in the European Indoor Championships in Madrid where she reached a 10th position. At the Dutch National Championships she won the gold medal at the 60m hurdles. The European Indoor Championship result gave her an invitation for the heptathlon meeting in Götzis where her personal best of 5631 was far beyond the other invited athletes. During the event Hoos impressed with a massive score of 6214 points, bringing her straight among the world class performers and even breaking Karin Ruckstuhl’s national record. Ruckstuhl however also improved her personal best during the same event and gained even more points than the Hoos’s final result. Still she could consider herself as the Dutch 2nd athlete at the heptathlon. At the end of 2004 she was 97th in the World rankings, but after her performances in Gotzis she was 9th in the World and was she the athlete to beat at the European Under-23 Championships in Erfurt. In Erfurt she was capable of performing to her standards and she won the gold medal with a new personal best score of 6291 points. Besides winning the gold she also broke the Championship record as well as the Dutch national under-23 record. During the event in Götzis she also reached the limits for the World Championships that were held in Helsinki. During the second event, the high jump, she suffered an injury and had to cancel the rest of the event.
