Career
Mensink has a dual nationality and performed the first years of her career for the Canadian national team in national and international competitions. As of 2007 she competes for the Netherlands. She needed another top-10 classification before the deadline to change the nomination into a ticket to China.
She came close in New Zealand (11th) and Japan (12th), but came just too short.
Her last chance was at the meeting in Hamburg, Germany on July 8, 2008. She managed to finish in 9th position and took the ticket to the Olympics.
