Gerhardus Marinus Maria Nijboer (Dutch:[ɣeːˈrɑrdʏsmaːˈrinʏsmaːˈriaːˈnɛibur]; born 18 August 1955) is a former Dutch long-distance runner. Nijboer competed in three consecutive Summer Olympics, starting in 1980 (Moscow, Soviet Union), when he won the silver medal in the marathon.[1] He became European champion in the marathon in 1982, for which he was named Dutch Sportsman of the year.
His personal best time was 2:09:01 at the Amsterdam Marathon of 26 April 1980, which was at the time the second best marathon ever (after Derek Clayton's 2:08:34 run in 1969).[nb 1]
