Jacqueline Poelman
Dutch sprinter
Helina Jacomina (Jacqueline) Poelman (October 5, 1973) is a former Dutch sprinter.
Poelman was born and raised in Leek and trained at an athletics club in Roden. Her first major international tournament were the 1991 European Junior Championships in Thessaloniki, where she did not reach the final on the 100 nor the 200 m. Only a year later at the World Junior Championships she won the silver medal on the 100 m, finishing second, while she became fourth on the 200 m. In the same year, she was part of the Dutch 4 × 100 m relay team during the Olympics in Barcelona, which was eliminated in the series.
Poelman won the bronze medal in the 200 m at the 1994 European Championships, held in Paris. For a long time, this was her last international achievement.
Only in 2002 Poelman worked on her comeback after a few years without hardly any competition, because she finished her study. At the European Championships however, she reached the seventh position on the 200 m. In 2003 Jacqueline Poelman was a member of the Dutch 4 × 100 m relay team that participated in the World Championships in Paris.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2311688. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1973, 1991, 1994 and 2002.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
