**Cristine Storm Lassen** ([née](/source/Birth_name#Maiden_and_married_names) Kristine Roug, born 12 March 1975 in [Hørsholm](/source/H%C3%B8rsholm)) is a Danish [sailor](/source/Sailing_(sport)) and Olympic champion.

She won a gold medal in the [Europe class](/source/Europe_(dinghy)) at the [1996 Summer Olympics](/source/1996_Summer_Olympics) in [Atlanta](/source/Atlanta).[1] She was named *Danish Sailer of the year* in 1994 and again in 1996.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

Kristine sailed the Europe dinghy between 1990 and 2000. In summer 1994 she won the world championship in the Europe dinghy two weeks later she won [ISAF](/source/ISAF_World_Sailing_Games) single dinghies for women in the [Laser](/source/Laser_(dinghy)), and half-year later in January 1995 in New Zealand she won once again the World Championship. At that time the Danish media really got interested in her talent and compared her with the five times Olympic champion [Paul Elvstrøm](/source/Paul_Elvstr%C3%B8m).

With the Olympic gold medal in 1996, Kristine Roug made several Danish outstanding records:
