  Yvonne van Gennip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yvonne Maria van Gennip, born on May 1, 1964 in Haarlem, The Netherlands was one of the most successful female Dutch all-round speed skaters.
But Gennip smashed the world record by almost 5 seconds to win the 3,000 metres, beat her personal record by almost 4 seconds to win the 1,500 metres, and was almost 7 seconds faster than her own world record time to win the 5,000 metres as well.
Yvonne van Gennip participated in the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo and in the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville as well, but did not win a medal.

 Sweet 16 - Andrea Ehrig   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Towards the end of the season, she also lost her one remaining WR: Yvonne van Gennip of the Netherlands skated the 5000 m in 7,20.36 on the new indoor rink in Heerenveen, after having beaten Kania's record in the 3000 m the day before.
But three pairs later Yvonne van Gennip stayed close to Ehrig's passing times for most of the race, and with one lap to go she was six tenths behind.
Van Gennip was after all the WR holder, and had received a boost from her surprise victories not only in the 3000 m but also in the 1500 m.
