Connie Meijer (5 February 1963 – 17 August 1988) was a Dutch cyclist who won a bronze medal in the road race at the 1987 UCI Road World Championships. She won a national title in this event in 1984, as well as individual stages of the Tour of Norway in 1987 and 1988.[1]
On 17 August 1988, while competing in a criterium in Naaldwijk, she complained of severe nausea and died on the way to the hospital.[2][3] Initial reports stated that she died of a brain hemorrhage.[3] However, later reports stated that she died of a heart attack, likely caused by a neglected flu.[4][5]
In her memory, the Connie Meijer Trofee was created, for which women compete in Parel van de Veluwe (Meijer herself won this race in 1988).
