She only joined an athletics club in 1978, but by the next year she was already a member of the Dutch national team. At a meet in Portugal she met the Swiss javelin thrower Fred Grossenbacher, whom she married in March 1986. After the European championships of that year she moved to Wimmis in Switzerland and from that point on competed for Switzerland.[1]
