Lynda Cornet
Lynda Ann Cornet (born January 26, 1962 in Leiden ) is a former Dutch rower .
The 1.74 m tall Lynda Cornet reached fifth place in the foursome with helmswoman at the 1980 Junior World Championships . In 1983, she and Harriet van Ettekoven took eighth place in the two-man category without a helmsman at the World Championships in Duisburg . Of the seven boats that were in Duisburg before the Dutch women, were the two from East Germany, the Soviet Union and from Bulgaria due to the Olympic boycott a year later not with the Olympic Games in Los Angeles at the start. A total of only six two-men competed in Los Angeles, Harriet van Ettekoven and Lynda Cornet rowed three and a half seconds behind the third-placed boat from the Federal Republic of Germany across the finish line and were thus Olympic gold medalists. Even in the aft , only six boats competed. In the eighth of the Netherlands sat the crews from the two, the double and the four with helmswoman . The Dutch women won the bronze medal behind the boats from the United States and Romania, 0.7 seconds ahead of the Canadians.
