The 2024 Eindhoven Qualification Meet (EQM) kicks off today, Thursday, April 11th with the 4-day competition representing an opportunity for Dutch athletes to add their names to the Paris 2024 nomination roster.
Per the Royal Dutch Swimming Federation (KNZB) selection policy, athletes can qualify for the roster across several competitions beginning with the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka and this year’s World Championships in Doha.
This EQM is another selection meet while other pre-approved World Aquatics-sanctioned competitions spanning the qualification window of March 1, 2023 through June 23, 2024 can also count towards roster nomination.
With this in mind, the following athletes will be nominated by the KNZB for Paris selection so long as no additional athletes swim under their QTs by the end of this EQM.
If open slots remain after this meet, athletes can still qualify through the June 23rd window via the pre-approved competitions.
Of note, former Suriname athlete Renzo Tjon A Joe now represents the Netherlands. We will be reaching out to find out more about this move.

100/200 school?
Not 100/200 breast?
I imagine they used google translate to summarise the info (breaststroke in Dutch is “school stroke”), that’s also why it says “limit” rather than “qualifying time”. It’s just a funny language when you translate it directly haha 😉
And then they didn’t bother to proofread before posting. 🙄 Sort of like when we see events listed as 1oo meters.
I wonder if Steenbergen will actually swim everything or not
I would say that the only thing talking for the 50 Free at this point is that it is the last day and only 2 swimmers been under the cut.
The 50 free prelims and semis do clash with the 200IM final, and I don’t think she has a high chance of finaling in the 50, so she may drop that to focus on the IM final (if she reaches it).
