Cornelia (Keetie) Hage, known past her married name Keetie van Oosten-Hage, (built-in 21 August 1949)[one] is a Dutch former cyclist from Sint-Maartensdijk, Zeeland.[1] She came from a family of cyclists, sis of Bella Hage, Heleen Hage and Ciska Hage, and aunt to Jan van Velzen. She was the national pursuit champion 12 times consecutively and won the national route title nine times, eight times consecutively. She was the Globe Road Cycling Champion twice, first in 1968 under her maiden name of Cornelia (Keetie/Katie) Hage, then again in 1976 in her married name (shown here). She is one of the great women competitors of all time in international cycling.
On 16 September 1978, Hage set a world hour record at Munich with 43.082 km. She improved the globe 5 km, 10 km and 20 km records in the same ride. She was Dutch sportswoman of the yr in 1976 and 1978 and the bays awarded each yr to the Netherlands' best woman cyclist is named subsequently her. There were few international stage races for women in her period and no women'south cycling in the Olympic Games.
Keetie van Oosten-Hage in 1974
She retired, she said, because:
I had won all the races there were. They included six world championships and several Dutch championships and a big race in America.[2] There comes a point when it makes your ambitions less. I was nonetheless winning, but I had done it all. But I would love to have ridden the Tour Féminin.[3] [4]
The Dutch cycling federation, the KNWU, gave her a job working with women coming upwardly in her place. She became what the federation called its coordinator from 1985.
But it did not work. There was a motorbus and I was the coordinator for a couple of years from 1985 but it did not work. I would brand all the arrangements but then the omnibus would be off afterwards me to the KNWU and inverse everything. And that made me so angry. I couldn't carry on like that, so I stopped.[4]
She considered becoming the passenger vehicle or taking some other defined job within cycling. But that would have involved taking a form and passing examinations, which did not appeal, and there were reports that the KNWU did non encourage her to practice so.[4]
She taught handicrafts part-time at a higher nigh her abode in Kloetinge exterior Goes, in Zeeland, and rode a bike a lot less, maxim in 1990 that she missed that merely not racing.[4] She gave away all the rainbow jerseys she won as world champion.
At the time they are nice to accept, merely then they are not so of import and they hateful more to other people, so I gave them away one past one. Now, of course, I regret it, but it is too late. I still accept the medals, though.[iv]
She rode 40 to threescore route races a year:
Usually I won. A lot of people said at least now you have gone it will give other people a chance and we can use dissimilar tactics and then on. I can understand the other girls getting disillusioned because I commonly won, and I suppose in hindsight that is not necessarily so good for the sport:[four]
She never enjoyed meeting journalists. She said:
Journalists always inquire hard questions. It is quite a strain in a way, having your motion-picture show in the papers and things nigh you, and getting your picture on telly. It was not so bad, but I never enjoyed it. Now at that place are girls here in Kingdom of the netherlands who get out of their manner to seek publicity, and information technology is good because it draws attention to women's racing, only I could never go running after the reporters and so on.[4]
