Netherlands at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics

The Netherlands competed at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics from August 27 to September 4 in Daegu, South Korea. Although the team won no medals at the championships, there were notable performances from future double world champion, Dafne Schippers, who set a new national record in the heats of the women's 200 metres and the women's 4 × 100 metres relay team, who also set a new national record in the heats to set the ninth fastest time and miss out on qualification for the final by just one place.

Team selection

A team of 20 athletes was announced to represent the country in the event. The team was led by top sprinter Churandy Martina, fourth in the 2008 Olympic Games 100m, who had to find a new home because of the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, and the refusal by the IOC to allow membership of Curaçao due to 1995 decision that membership is only open to sovereign countries (see here).

The following athletes appeared on the preliminary Entry List, but not on the Official Start List of the specific event, resulting in a total number of 17 competitors:
