The Netherlands' 2016 season peaked at the Rio Olympics with a single athletics medal — and it mattered more than its number. Dafne Schippers took 200 m silver, the country's first Olympic athletics medal in 24 years.
This was the Schippers era: one sprinter carrying a thin Dutch track team, a couple of years before the distance-and-relay boom — Sifan Hassan, Femke Bol, the relays — changed the picture entirely.
Half tights are fitted compression shorts ending at mid-thigh, worn as the outer racing garment by sprinters and, increasingly, elite marathoners. They exist for fit — zero loose fabric, zero chafe, a locked-in feel from the blocks — not for proven speed.
That last part matters: across 51 randomized studies, compression garments show no significant effect on race times. What they measurably do is damp muscle vibration while you run and nudge recovery afterwards. The rest of their argument is made of fit, and it is a good argument.
