Kiki Hendriks (born 18 September 2000) is a Dutch para athlete who competes in long jump and sprinting events. She represented the Netherlands at the 2024 Summer Paralympics.
Hendriks represented the Netherlands at the 2024 Summer Paralympics and finished in fourth place in the long jump T64 event, with a jump of 5.35 metres. [1] She competed at the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships and won a silver medal in the long jump T64 event. She also competed in the 100 metres T64 event and finished in fourth place with a time of 13.21 seconds. [2]
When Hendriks was two years old she contracted Meningococcal disease. She survived, but her left lower leg, right hand, and the fingers of her left hand had died. As a result of contracting Meningococcal disease in 2003, the growth plates in her lower right leg were damaged, causing the leg to grow crooked. During an operation in 2015, a nerve was hit, and a result, she could no longer lift her foot. This led to the decision to also amputate her lower right leg in 2018. [3] [4]
