Françoise Harteveld

Françoise Harteveld (born 26 March 1977 in Maassluis, South Holland) is a Dutch judoka.

She began her judo career at the age of 3 at Budosport Mahorokan in Maassluis.

Her JudoDad, Coos Henneveld (died January 2015) was her mentor and taught her all her skills.

Later, his son Rob Henneveld was her coach, and with him she won as many titles and medals as under her JudoDad.

After her start in this other traditional Japanese sport, she won three silver medals in a row at the 2007 World Championships in Changmai, 2008 in Rakvere and 2010 in Warsaw.
