The astonishing Blankers-Koen comes in 3rd ALL-TIME – as a mother-of-two she won 4 Golds in the London Olympics of 1948!!! 🥇🥇🥇🥇⬇️
As if that wasn’t enough…she held several World Records across multiple events, more no.1 World Rankings than any other 100m female sprinter in history, and an elite career spanning the best part of two decades!!! ✊
Were it not for World War II it’s fair to imagine she’d have added even more Olympic medals! In 1999 the IAAF named Blankers-Koen as the “Female Athlete of the Century”…for many she remains the greatest female Olympian of All-Time! 🙌
