The last time the former London Marathon champion competed on the track was during the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary where she competed in the 1500, 5000m, and 10,000m races.
The Dutchwoman took the silver medal in the 5000m, a bronze in the 1500m, and settled for fourth place in the 10,000m after falling a few meters to the finish line.
