Johanna "Jannie" van Eyck-Vos (19 January 1936 – 16 June 2020)[1] was a Dutch track and field athlete. She competed at the 1964 Summer Olympics in the 800 m event but failed to reach the final despite setting a personal record.[2][3] She started as a javelin thrower and won a national title in 1956, but then changed to middle-distance running and won another title, in 1966, in the 800 m.[3]
