“I think that motherhood and top sport cannot be combined ideal if you both want to do it for 100 percent,” said Lieder, who gave birth to a daughter in 2022, at the NOS. De Heerhugowaard, moreover, recently suffered from a few main injuries. “That eventually led to the thought that I would like it. Then I also had to be honest with myself, and choose to be at home.”
Lieder, also known under her maiden name Wester, debuted in 2012 for the Dutch team. In addition to the world title, she won the World Cup silver (2015) and Brons (2017) and silver and bronze at the European Championships of 2016 and 2018. She played 152 international matches. In 2023 she made her return to the Dutch team after the birth of her daughter.
