Mark Jacobus Louis Neeleman (born 16 April 1959, in Baghdad, Iraq) is a sailor from the Netherlands.[1] Since the Netherlands did boycott[2] the Moscow Olympic Games Neeleman represented his National Olympic Committee at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Tallinn, USSR under the Dutch NOC flag.[3] Neeleman took 8th place in the 1980 Summer Olympics, which was boycotted by several countries.[4][5] In 1984 Summer Olympics, Los Angeles[6][7][8] Neeleman did a second attempt in the Finn[9][10] and finished on the 9th place.[11][12][13] Neeleman missed the selection for the 1988 Olympics, Pusan.
