Reginald De Windt
Reginald de Windt (born 30 November 1983) is a judoka from Curaçao who participated in the 2012 Summer Olympics as one of four "Independent Olympic Athletes".

Since the Netherlands Antilles Olympic Committee, which had planned to continue functioning after the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, had its membership withdrawn by the IOC Executive Committee at the IOC session of June 2011, no Dutch Antillean athletes could officially represent their country. However, Dutch Antillean athletes who qualified for the 2012 Olympics were allowed to participate independently under the Olympic flag. De Windt qualified at the 2012 Pan American Judo Championships in Montreal for the Men' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
