Joyce Sombroek always knew how to stop the heavy, white cork ball that would fly off the astro-turf and threaten to crash into her helmet visor as she defended with stick and gloves.

She did that well for The Netherlands and the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics, World Championship gold in 2014, back-to-back 'Best Goalkeeper' awards are testimonies to that. Now Sombroek, who is also a doctor, is at the forefront of a battle against the COVID-19 pandemic as she treats patients affected by the virus wearing a Hazmat Suit. She retired from the game at the age of 26 and completed his medical degree at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam.
