Lisa Westerhof Athlete

Lisa Westerhof is a sailor who competed in the 2004 Olympic Sailing Competition finishing 9th with former double Olympic Silver Medalist Margriet Matthijsse as crew. She failed to qualify for the 2008 Games. However, by teaming up with the 2008 Olympic Silver Medalist Lobke Berkhout the team have dominated the 470 Class. This new team in 2010, following wins in the 2009 and 2010 470 World Championship, was shortlisted along with crew Lobke Berkhout by the International Sailing Federation for the ISAF World Sailor of the Year Awards. In 2011 the team finished a disappointing 10th at the ISAF World Champs in Perth, but Westerhof has said this has just renewed her focus for the 2012 Olympics in London.
