Where Toussaint won many international prizes, the Olympic honorary metal was not forthcoming. Three times she participated in the Olympic Games. Only with the relay team at the Tokyo Games in 2021 did she still close to the stage with a fourth place. She didn’t succeed individually.
Released in doping case
Toussaint experienced a low point in 2018, when she was tested positively on Tulobuterol around a competition in Beijing, a medicine that dilates the airways. A few months later it came out that a mistake had been made during the test. “I can say with my hand on my heart that I did not consciously take this medicine,” she said.
In addition to an Olympic medal, Toussaint says that she has achieved everything in her career. “Statistically, I don’t consider the chance that I will win a medal at the age of 34.” However, she continues to swim in a competitive context at her Amsterdam Association De Dolphin. “But top sport and everything you have to do and leave for that is over.”
