Hans Jorritsma (19 March 1949 – 4 June 2026) was a Dutch field hockey player. He competed at the 1976 Olympics and 1978 World Cup, where his teams finished in fourth and second place, respectively.[1] For political reasons Jorritsma refused to receive his World Cup silver medal from the hands of Jorge Rafael Videla. He retired from competitions the same year.[2]
