Sydney 2000: Dutch Joy with History Making Olympic Haul To Pieter van den Hoogenband and Inge de Bruijn<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Sydney 2000 was a successful meet for the Lenny Krazelburg<\/strong>-led Americans and Ian Thorpe <\/strong>and the Australian team the small but select group from the Netherlands under coach Jacco Verhaeren<\/strong> not only swam their way into the hearts of the Dutch nation but they were certainly embraced by the Aussies.<\/p>\n

The US again led the gold medal charge with 14 \u2013 Krazelburg winning the backstroke double and the medley relay and Brooke Bennett the 400 and 800 freestyle double \u2013 while Australia and the Netherlands each picked up five gold.<\/p>\n

It was the most successful Games in the Dutch history that saw the Verhaeren coached Pieter van den Hoogenband<\/strong> take out the prestigious 100 and 200m freestyle double.<\/p>\n

Fellow country woman Inge de Bruijn<\/strong> (coached by hall of fame coach Paul Bergen<\/strong><\/a> in the US) was unstoppable.<\/p>\n

She had withdrawn from the team in Atlanta in 1996, but made a triumphant return four years later, winning three gold medals in the 50 and 100m freestyle and 100m butterfly \u2013 re-writing the world record books along the way<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the end of arguably the best week in Dutch swimming history, Verhaeren, who this week is about to wind up \u00a0a seven-year stint in what he described as his \u201cdream job\u201d as Australia\u2019s head coach, admitted: \u201cFive gold and five world records\u2026we were blown away by ourselves\u2026..and you look at that and think \u2018Really?\u2019\u2026what just happened?\u201d<\/p>\n

Verhaeren had spearheaded the Dolphins through successful campaigns in Rio and at the last two Commonwealth Games and three World Championships and will return home to his wife and two boys to plan his next move and also celebrate his Sydney triumphs.<\/p>\n

And this week he relived the best week of his coaching career \u2013 although things didn\u2019t go according to plan on day one.<\/p>\n

As good a start as night one was for the Aussies with the gold to Thorpe and the men\u2019s 4x100m freestyle relay it was \u201ca shocker\u201d for the Dutch.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first day for us in Sydney was terrible\u2026.we were disqualified in the 4x100m freestyle (an event) I think we would have had a shot to at least being in the game, \u201c recalled Verhaeren on the 20th<\/sup> Anniversary of Sydney 2000 and as he reminisced the magical week that unfolded.<\/p>\n

\u201cParticularly having Pieter at that point in time\u2026.in the heats, one swimmer went too early and Pieter wasn\u2019t in the heats and he actually was back in the Village waiting for a phone call from me to tell him where he would be swimming in the final.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it was more a conversation about\u2026well\u2026rest up!<\/p>\n

\u201cHe stayed in the Village that night and I was at the pool and saw it all unfold\u2026.Thorpie breaking the world record in the 400m, I saw that 4x100m men\u2019s relay battle\u2026..big night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I returned that night from the pool I wondered what Pieter himself thought of this and looking back I think it became one of our strengths not looking too much at what other people did, because it drives him crazy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s what you expect at an Olympics\u2026.everybody is ready and world records are broken; people are there to swim fast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be na\u00efve to think differently, of course Thorpie would be in shape, (it\u2019s a) home competition and all that and I went back and knocked on Pieter\u2019s door and said hey did you see all that, some good performances and he was disappointed for the relay that we didn\u2019t qualify because of that DQ.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut (then again) he thought it gives me another day of rest and I\u2019ll be ready tomorrow, he was very stoic and I thought that\u2019s probably the best response I could have expected, he wasn\u2019t phased at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day (we had one major goal), to break 48 seconds for the 100m.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t say we wanted to win or we want to do this and that and of course the likelihood when you do that is winning.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we wanted to be the first athlete to break 48 seconds and we\u2019d go from there\u201d<\/p>\n

And then there’s the 200m – an event owned by Thorpe.<\/p>\n

“Well, we knew we had a very good 200 but it wasn\u2019t front and centre at that point in time,\u201d said Verhaeren.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he was absolutely in the best form of his life and we started in the heats with an almost cruising 1:46 and then the semis when he broke the world record (1:45.35) and I remember looking at him and thinking, this is the first time we have had semi-finals in the 200m (in the modern era) so we were thinking about a strategy of how do we do this.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt actually changed the game a little bit and so we decided you don\u2019t want to waste too much energy in the heats and you want to be good without killing yourself in the semi-finals if you are good enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he broke the world record in the semis\u2026.and then the next semi-final with Thorpie \u2013 we thought it\u2019s going to be a short lived world record.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was my first thought but then again I thought maybe it won\u2019t be that easy for him (after the 400m and the relay the night before) and it wasn\u2019t an easy swim.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Pieter<\/a> said \u2018I\u2019m just going to stick to my routine (in the final)\u2026.of course he was the fastest over the 100 so for him to go out a little bit quicker didn\u2019t hurt him that much and so the best thing was we decided \u2018just stick to the strategy\u201d and we\u2019ll see what happens.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he can follow he can and if he can\u2019t he can\u2019t and we are just going to race\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

And Hoogie took it out with Thorpe on his shoulder for the first 100m before the pair touched the wall at the 150 together, with the Dutch flyer surfacing first.<\/p>\n

Thorpe drew level again over the first 25m before Hoogie swam away over the thrilling final stages \u2013 equaling his own WR of 1:45.35 \u2013 ahead of Thorpe\u2019s 1:45.83.<\/p>\n

Thorpe had gone into the Olympics, having set his fourth world mark over the 200m in 12 months<\/a>, lowering it to 1:45.51 at the Australian Olympic Trials in May.<\/p>\n

Later in the week Van den Hoogenband would go on to become the first man under 48 secs in the 100m\u2013 setting a new WR of 47.84 \u2013 0.28 faster than Australian Michael Klim\u2019s WR set in the opening night\u2019s relay lead off swim of 48.18.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had eight athletes from my home program and of course Inge, who was coached by Paul Bergen in Portland, Oregon, who wasn\u2019t attending the \u201d said Jacco.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe had set 12 world records in the lead up to Sydney, the first woman to swim 56 in the 100m butterfly and the first under 54 in the 100m freestyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cInge was on a roll and I remember talking to Paul and saying what you do in training is very different to what I do.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he said as long as she trusts what you are doing she will be fine and that speaks to his experience; he was the coach who worked with (US legend) Tracey Caulkins\u2026he had a load of experience and he actually empowered me, especially at our pre-Olympic camp in Newcastle.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow you can work together and empower each other (communicating via a landline telephone and the fax machine).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a good dynamic and the simple message from Paul was now \u201cit\u2019s about confidence\u201d he had done his job……we just had to do ours and we did.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Bruijn was the undoubted women\u2019s star of the Sydney 2000 pool winning the 100m butterfly gold in a WR of 56.61 in the final with WR times in both the semi-finals of the 100m (53.77) and 50m freestyle (24.13), adding gold in the finals.<\/p>\n
