Colleen Grondein

Colleen Grondein is a former South African international lawn bowler. She won a gold medal in the women's fours at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, alongside Anna Pretorius, Lorna Trigwell and Hester Bekker, which was the first gold medal for South Africa at the Games since 1958 because the country had returned after a Commonwealth ban imposed in 1961 during the anti-apartheid era. In 1995 she won the triples gold medal and the fours silver medal at the Atlantic Bowls Championships, held in her home country. She bowls for the Lahee Park Bowling Club. Her fours gold is therefore recorded as South Africa's first Commonwealth Games gold since the country's return from the ban.
