Medal record
|
Maria Aaltje ("Marianne") Timmer (born 3 October 1974) is a Dutch former speed skater specializing in the middle distances (1000 and 1500 m). At the 1998 Winter Olympics Timmer won a gold medal in both these events.
Personal life[]
Timmer was born in Sappemeer. She is married to ex-goalkeeper Henk Timmer but they are currently separated. She was previously married to her former coach Peter Mueller.
Speed skating career[]
In 1999 she won the 1000 m in the World Single Distance Championships and in 2004 became world champion in the sprint. In 2006, she won the 1000 m at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. This made her the first skater from the Netherlands to win a gold medal at two different Winter Games.
On 13 November 2009, at a World Cup speedskating event in Heerenveen, Netherlands, Timmer sustained breaks in her heel bone when she crashed after Chinese skater Yu Jing fell in front of her during a 500-meter race. Because of the crash, Timmer did not defend her Olympic title in the Vancouver Olympics in February 2010.
