Ellen Marijn Hoog (Шаблон:IPA-nl, born 26 March 1986)[1] is a former Dutch field hockey player, who is regarded as one of the best Dutch hockey players of her generation.

Field hockey career

Ellen began playing field hockey at the age of seven and in 2002, aged 16 she was selected to play her first senior game for Stichtse Cricket en Hockey Club in Bilthoven and made her debut for the Netherlands women's national field hockey team at age 17 in 2004[2] and has played in 232 matches, scoring 60 goals. She won Olympic gold medals in 2008 and 2012 and a silver medal in 2016.[3]
