Carin Lydia Clonda (born 1 March 1961) is an Australian former professional squash player and sports administrator.

Clonda was born in the Sydney suburb of Manly, to an Estonian mother and Romanian father.

[1] In 1979, she became the de facto under-19 world champion when she won the British Junior Women's Open, there being no higher championship in that age range.

[citation needed] In addition to chronic asthma, Clonda experienced numerous health issues during her sporting career, but continued to compete regardless.

[1] She then experienced chronic fatigue syndrome and the resulting damage to her immune system saw her deal with worsening asthma, infections, a dislocated pelvis and recurrence of her tumour.
