Kristine Lee Norelius (born December 26, 1956) is an American former competitive rower and Olympic gold medalist.
Norelius qualified for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team, but was unable to compete due to the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott. She did, however, receive one of 461 Congressional Gold Medals created especially for the spurned athletes.[1] Four years later, she was a member of the American women's eights team that won the gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California.[2]
