Kimberley Bos (born 7 October 1993) is a Dutch skeleton racer who competes on the Skeleton World Cup circuit. She started competing internationally in 2009, originally in bobsleigh, and was selected to the Dutch national team in 2010; she switched to skeleton for the 2013–14 European Cup season. Her personal coach is Urta Rozenstruik, and she rides a Bromley sled.[2] Away from the track, Bos is a physiotherapy student, occasionally serving as "unofficial physio" to the other athletes.[1] Bos was the only woman named to represent the Netherlands in skeleton at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang,[3] where she finished eighth. Bos returned for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, where she won the bronze medal and became the first Dutch skeleton athlete to win a medal.
