SPEAKER_04: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica. For those of you who are tuning in for the first time, welcome, here's the deal. Every weekday, we're highlighting the stories of women you may not know about, but definitely should. We're talking about women from around the world and throughout history. Each month is themed. This month, we're talking about Olympians, women who were either in the Olympics or likely should have been. Our woman of the day today was a track and field star who set world records and broke down barriers for mothers and wives in sports. She set a record for the number of gold medals she won at a single Olympics. And yet, the newspapers were instead preoccupied with her status as a wife and recent mother. Her sports persona became so interconnected with her personal life that she was given the nickname the Flying Housewife. Please welcome Fanny Blenkers Cohen. Fanny was born Francine Alge Cohen on April 26th, 1918 in a village in the Netherlands. Athleticism was part of her life virtually from birth. Her father had competed in shot put and discus competitions. By the time she was a teen, Fanny was skilled at tennis, ice skating, and fencing. Her athletic prowess was strong enough that one of her coaches encouraged her to continue training professionally in a dedicated sport. Fanny settled on track. At the age of 16, Fanny took first place at a Dutch national championship. Just a year later, she competed in the high jump and the 4x100 meter relay at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. In 1938, she tied a world record with an 11-second 100-meter dash. In 1940, a personal development in Fanny's life made headlines. The news? She got married. After tying the knot with her husband, who was coincidentally also her coach, many outlets declared Fanny's career was over. They imagined she'd dedicate her time to being a mother and wife. Popular opinion was that Fanny's last hurrah would be the Helsinki Olympics that year. But due to World War II, the Olympics were canceled, and they were postponed once again in 1944. In the meantime, Fanny continued to live her life. She and her husband had two children. Fanny also kept training and competing, setting six new records across four different track events. In 1948, Fanny qualified for the London Summer Olympics. But her entry into the Games was far from celebratory. She received letters and media attention berating her for leaving her children in Amsterdam while she went to the Olympics. Coaches at the Games also called her too old to compete. She was 30 at the time. Fanny took part in three individual events at the 1940 Olympics. She won the first, the 100-meter dash, with a comfortable margin. The second, the 80-meter hurdle, was more difficult. She had a slow start and bumped a hurdle early on, but still managed to finish first. It was her last individual event, the 200-meter, that really frightened Fanny. According to some accounts, Fanny was so upset by the pressure put on her to win and the negative media coverage of her competition. that she burst into tears and nearly missed her last event. Fanny recovered and ran. And despite muddy, cumbersome track conditions, she went on to win the gold. After her individual events, Fanny took part in the 4x100-meter relay race. When she took the baton, her team was in fourth place. Fanny carried it first. She finished a tenth of a second at the 100-meter race. She finished a tenth of a second ahead of the competing teams. Fanny's performance in the 1948 Games made her the first Dutch athlete to win an Olympic title in athletics, and the first woman to win four gold medals at a single Olympic Games. It also won her the nickname of the Flying Housewife. Despite the negative press that hung over her journey to the Games, Fanny proved them wrong. And she later revealed she'd won all those gold medals while three months pregnant. Fanny took part in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, though she didn't medal. She retired in 1955 after setting yet another record, this time a national title in shot put. By the time she stepped out of the spotlight, Fanny had set world records 16 times across eight different events. She'd won five European titles and 58 Dutch national championship titles, all by the age of 37. In 1999, the International Association of Athletics Federations named Fanny the top female athlete of the 20th century. Fanny died in 2004. All May, we're talking about Olympians.
