Biography
Bram Evers was an early pioneer of track and field athletics in the Netherlands, which saw him win five national titles in the early 1900s. Evers won three titles in 1908 with victory in the 400 metres, pole vault, and long jump. The following year he retained his pole vault title along with winning the 110 metres hurdles title. His good all-round performances earned him a place on the Dutch Olympic team for the 1908 London Games where he competed in six events. His best result came in the pole vault where he finished 15th. He also ran in the 400, 800, and 1,600 metres medley relay, and participated in both the long jump and the standing long jump. In 1922 Evers had a brief stint as the interim manager of the Dutch football club Vitesse Arnhem.
