Yvonne Maria van Gennip, born on May 1, 1964 in Haarlem, The Netherlands was one of the most successful female Dutch allround skaters. Her main success dates from the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. There she surprisingly won three gold medals. After she was injured at her foot, and had surgery less than two months before the games, the East German women were heavily favoured to win the distances over 500 meters. But Yvonne 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. She won a silver medal in the 1988 world championships, and bronze medals in the 1987 and 1989 world championships.
