Five years later they had already developed in as far as the athletics, that the first national youth titles could be won: she was in 1977 as B-junior champion in the 100 m and 80 m hurdles. 11 in the following years would follow so that Marjan, when they had reached the age, with a total number of thirteen youth titles to her senior career began. Incidentally, Marjan Olyslager still as junior did her first international experience at a big tournament: at the 1979 European Junior Championships in Bydgoszcz she performed to the 200 m and 100 m hurdles. On the first issue, on which she had improved her personal record in the series, they stranded in the semifinals, in the 100 m hurdles at 0.02 second they missed a place in the final. ===Stamp[ Edit] === From its transition to the seniors in 1981 until the end of her Athletics career in 1989 on Marjan Olyslager would then the 400 metres hurdles at the women in Netherlands. Already in 1981 she conquered her first seniors title, although they since the middle of 1980 to pollution in the spring of 1981 had encountered by fatigue, caused bleaching of the glandular fever. It took until 1983 before Marjan the limit of 13.45, which had set the KNAU to recognize electronically measured as a border for a new record, would break through. On 11 June 1983 she dove there for the first time under, though that was never officially adopted. Willebroek In the Belgian beat apparently equal the stop by the electronic timing, when Oakley there during the match against Scotland and Belgium passed the finish line. [1]  she had to do it with a handgeklokte time of 13.0, but the threshold was taken and before the year was Marjan Olyslager had her name written on the national record with 13.26. That time they ran during the first official World Championships in athletics in Helsinki, where they came to this performance in the 100 m hurdles. They pulled out the quarter-finals, but was eliminated with 13.30. ===Disappointment in Olympic year<span class="mw-editsection" len="355" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Olympic year 1984 had two major setbacks for the now as computer programmer/system analyst in Breda active athlete in store: by a foot injury she had to the final at the Dutch Championships in the 100 m hurdles and they missed the limit of 13, 18, who had set the NOC as a requirement for participation in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. She came no further than 13.20, though that was a Dutch record. ===Towards World Summit<span class="mw-editsection" len="341" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The following year, Oakley picked the fruits of her hard, but futile Olympic limits hunting. Within 53 days improved her own national record four times: after 13,19 and 13,07 13,03 in May followed in June, after which they ended on 7 August in Zwolle on 13,01. Marjan was just as surprised as anyone, "I just can't explain. Last year I really trained hard and when it came out. Technically I'm not gone far ahead this year. I am much stronger and become faster. In addition, the stamina increases "for the last three hurdles.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Even_wennen_2-0" len="180" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [2]  a time under 13 seconds now seemed even attainable. Marjan was already dived several times under that limit, albeit with too many tailwind. They themselves did not consider a time between 12.7 and 12.8 a real purpose. "I am realistic in my approach. Maybe it's by my mathematical instance ".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Even_wennen_2-1" len="180" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [2]  Meanwhile ended Marjan Olyslager further little interesting year 1985 in the world rankings on a 22-th place. ===In the grass<span class="mw-editsection" len="334" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">A Pleurisy was there in 1985/86, that the cause of the winter period, however, almost went out. Nevertheless, seemed Marjan in the summer of 1986 on time in shape for the European Championships in Stuttgart, with times of 13,08 and 13,07. A groinand hamstring injury, however, threw a spanner in the works again. Although they recovered on time, but did not come in top form at the start in Stuttgart. In the semi-final (following a series in 13,14) they stumbled over the first hurdle and ended up in the grass. She had had too little time on technique can work out. "I was too eager, my horde control was there yet. This is, in fact, never happen to me ', says the Zeeland.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3" len="168" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [3]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The year 1987 started Marjan Olyslager energetic. On the Dutch championships indoor she hit three birds with one stone: a national title in the 60 m hurdles in national record time of 8.16 (five hundredth under its own old record from 1984) and a time limit for the world indoor championships. They proved that they could, even faster soon after European indoor championships during der in Liévin. She came there in action three times and all three times she stayed under her own record: via 8.10 in the series it was 8.03 in the semi-final and last in the final, in which she was 8.09. A few weeks later she was in Indianapolis on the first ever world indoor championships, fifth in the final, though it was her time here 8.12. However, in that year there was much more to sit. By a difficult healing knee injury, sustained in the preseason, Oakley came that summer never actually in good shape. The national title in the 100 m hurdles they still conquered, but the most important tournament of the year, the World Championships in Rome, ran it wrong. And also the long-awaited time under 13 seconds came not from there again. With her season's best of 13.19 she remained close to the level achieved in the previous two years. ===Magical broken borders<span class="mw-editsection" len="350" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the Olympic year 1988 Marjan Olyslager exactly as the year before: to improve national indoor records. On 13 February, she again in Liévin on the 60 m hurdles to 8.00, and then four days later in Ghent with 7.97 for the first time under the magical 8-seconds limit to dive. Of course they also Dutch champion; in their own country is Oakley now become unbeatable. Also the highlight of the indoor season, a high point in her career, though. On 5 March 1988 she wins on the 1988 European indoor championships in Budapest on the 60 m hurdles in 7.92 a silver medal behind Cornelia Oschkenat (7.77 s) from East Germany and forMihaela Pogacian (7.99 s) from Romania. Her time is again a Dutch record. Marjan Olyslager must count to the European Summit.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">How important have been, then shows her good indoor performance during the outdoorseizoen. Marjan Olyslager WINS some appealing in all international meetings and dives Saint Denis on 7 June for the first time under the 13-seconds limit in the Dutch record time of 12.93. Not only breaks through them a second important psychological barrier at a stroke, they also qualify for the Olympic Games in Seoul. ===Profit and loss<span class="mw-editsection" len="339" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The following months yielded Olyslager many fine performance. They won on August 14, 1988, as one of the few Dutch athletes ever, gold in the 100 m hurdles during the Adriaan Paulen Memorial in another Dutch record time: 12,92. In addition, they also qualified on the 4 x 100 m relay team for the games in 43,54, together with Nelli Cooman, Gretha Trompand Els Father . Eventually she came on 19 August to her season's best, by during the Memorial Van Damme in Brussels to win the 100 m hurdles in 12.83, her third record improvement of the season. She reached there the fifteenth place on the world ranking list with it. Even more remarkable was that they correct a sensitive defeat on home soil this year had to undergo: during the NK in Groningen they on her specialty was beaten by Gretha Tromp, a Dutch record after profit and on the day before the 400 m hurdles in a winning mood turned out and Marjan Olyslager with one hundredth second difference knocked. The times: 13.33 to 13.34. Tromp ran in the 100 m hurdles then never again so quickly.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">At the Olympics that year in Seoul came Oakley after winning her heat in 13.04 and a second place in her quarterfinal in 13,02 does not go beyond a fifth place in the semifinal with 13,08. They want to get the final than Had had them, having regard to the operation of the competition, must improve its Dutch record, like Marjan Olyslager prior to her race well realized. It came not from. "I hit a hurdle, lost speed and could no longer make up for that", it stated afterwards.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Niet_goed.2C_niet_slecht_4-0" len="193" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [4]  Nelli Cooman, Gretha Tromp and Els Together with Father she came also from then on the 4 x 100 metres relay, in which the Dutch team also was killed in the semi-finals, despite a faster time (43,48) than France, which in the other semi-final finished fourth with 43.66. ===Breaking Point<span class="mw-editsection" len="332" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Initially it had in Seoul as the intended location for Marjan O'sullivan end point of her career to consider. Immediately after the Play, however, they doubted. "I have still so much fun in that I seriously think to a year by going for the time being," said the Dutch horde Queen.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Niet_goed.2C_niet_slecht_4-1" len="193" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [4]  a year later noted, however, that looking back to Seoul has been a breaking point in her career. "Before then, I had to go to work, something that I had never experienced. After the Olympics was that over. I got all of a sudden difficulty with training. In the winter came I hardly under way. For the first time in my life crept over me feel like I was missing anything by the top-class sport.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">That winter, Marjan Olyslager with Roel Wingbermühle married threw himself more on her work as a system analyst and spent less attention to my learning.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6" len="168" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [6]  Nevertheless, they ran in 1989 the stars of heaven. They took on the Indoor 60 m hurdles her yet another national title, finished fourth at the European indoor championships in the Hague, equaled her national record of 7.92 and a few days later was on the sixth world indoor championships in Budapest in the final in 7.95, after they in the series again to improve her own national record was zipped: 7.89. In the outdoorseizoen she ran in the 100 m hurdles during a League match inKerkrade first of all a handgeklokte time of 12.7, then remained in Sittard removed only five hundredth of its national record with 12.88, to finally on 25 June during the Meeting International de Paris on the sports complex of Villeneuve-d'Ascq her ultimate performance of 12.77, her twelfth national record, to put down. They include the American champion defeated Linda Tolbert and formerworld record holder Ginka Zagortsjeva.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">It was the icing on the cake for Marjan Olyslager that finally, after another fourteenth National Seniors had obtained title to at the end of the season 1989 ended her career. They no longer wanted as she remained dedicated athlete further, though trainer. And in 1995 she was even the KNAU vakgroepcoördinator sprint/hurdles.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7" len="168" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [7]  since then, to date no Dutch Hurdler close to her best times come. ===Chef de Mission EYOF<span class="mw-editsection" len="344" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In August 2006, Marjan Olyslager by NOC * NSF appointed Chef de Mission to guide the Dutch team at the European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) and the Kingdom games.
