Netherlands

The Dutch quest for Olympic Gold began on 26 August 1900 at Paris, when the coxed pair of Françoise Brandt and Roelof Klein was triumphant. Coxswain Hermanus Brockmann was replaced at the last minute by a small French boy whose name was not recorded. It is not known which coxswain received the Gold medal and in the absence of a name, Brockmann is listed here as Olympic Champion.

48 Dutch athletes have been Olympic Champion prior to WW2 winning a total of 23 Gold.

I would be grateful for any corrections and additional biographical information, pictures, stories, anecdotes etc.

Thank you to Jeroen Heijmans for filling many gaps on the Dutch champions
