"The Flying Housewife"

1 You've probably heard of Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith-Joyner, and Wilma Rudolph, since they were world-famous female track and field stars and broke many records during the Olympics, which made them heroes at home. 2 An Olympic legend that you might not have heard of, though, is Fanny Blankers-Koen, the "Flying Housewife."

3 There were many athletic accomplishments that she achieved.

4 At the age of seventeen, Blankers-Koen began competing in track events and set a national record in the 800-meter run.

5 This kicked off her stellar running career, including European titles and multiple world records in the 80-meter hurdles, high jump, and long jump, and competing in the 1936 Olympics.

6 However, Blankers-Koen had to wait twelve years to compete in her second Olympics because the games had been canceled during World War II.

7 It wasn't easy for her then.

8 First, she was thirty years old, three months pregnant, and training only twice a week in the summer leading up to the 1948 Olympiad.

9 In addition, Blankers-Koen's new roles as wife and mother are why she faced sexist comments.

10 For example, reporters remarked, that she ran "like she was chasing children out of the pantry" or "racing to the kitchen to rescue a batch of burning biscuits."

11 Going to the Olympics alone, others critiqued her for leaving her children behind in Amsterdam.

12 Yet, Blankers-Koen kept her composure in the face of criticism and went on to win four Olympic medals.

13 Coming home to Holland from the Olympics, the world quickly forgot the "flying housewife" though.
