Fanny Blankers-Koen
Born in Amsterdam in 1918, Fanny spent much of her childhood swimming, skating, running, and playing tennis. At the age of 14 and at the request of her father, Blanker-Koen began focusing on track and field.
Her Olympic debut occurred at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where she placed fifth for the 100-meter relay, and sixth for teh high jump. Although the 1940 and 1944 Olympics were canceled because of World War II, Blankers-Koen continued to compete in various Dutch track meets, where she set multiple world records. By the 1948 Olympics, she held the world record for the hurdle, long jump, high jump, and 100-meter race. At the 1948 London Olympics, she became the first woman to win four gold medals at a single Olympics.
Over her 20-year career, Blankers-Koen set 20 world records in seven different events. She was inducted into the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame in 1980.

April, 2015 - Bobbi Gibb - The Devereaux
Bobbi Gibb
Roberta Louise "Bobbi" Gibb is the first woman to have run the entire Boston Marathon (1966). She is recognized by the Boston Athletic Association as the pre-sanctioned era women's winner in 1966, 1967, and 1968. Gibb's run in 1966 challenged prevalent prejudices and misconceptions about women's athletic capabilities. Before 1966, it was generally believed that women were physiologically unable to run marathon distances. The longest Amateur Athletic Union (AAU)-sanctioned race for women was one and a half miles.
Gibb trained for two years to run the Boston Marathon, covering as much as 40 miles in one day. On writing for an application in February 1966, she received a letter from the race director, Will Cloney, informing her that women were not physiologically capable of running marathon distances and that under the rules that governed amateur sports set out by the AAU, women were not allowed to run more than a mile and a half competitively.
After three nights and four days on a bus from San Diego, California, Gibb arrived the day before the race at her parents' house in Winchester, Massachusetts. Wearing her brother's Bermuda shorts and a blue hooded sweatshirt over her black, tanked-top swim suit, she hid in the bushes near the starting pen. After the starting gun fired, she waited until about half of the pack had started and then jumped into the race.
The men soon realized she was a woman. Encouraged by their friendliness and support, she removed her sweatshirt. To her delight and relief, the crowds cheered to see a woman running. The press began to report on her progress towards Boston, history in the making. She finished in three hours, twenty-one minutes, and forty seconds, ahead of two-thirds of the pack.
In 1967, Gibb returned and ran again. She finished in three hours, twenty-seven minutes, and seventeen seconds, almost an hour ahead of the other female competitor, Kathrine Switzer. In 1968, Gibb ran again, finishing in three hours, and thirty minutes, first among a growing number of women. (In 1972, the first women's division of the Boston marathon opened.) In 1996, at the 100th running of the Boston Marathon and the 30th anniversary of Gibb's first running of it, the Boston Athletic Association officially recognized her three wins in 1966, 1967, and 1968, and awarded her a medal. Her name was inscribed with the names of the other winners on the Boston Marathon memorial in Copley Square.

April, 2015 - Clara Hughes - Grapefruit Margarita
Clara Hughes
A Canadian cyclist and speed skater who has won multiple Olympic medals in both sports. Hughes won two bronzes in the Summer Olympics in 1996 and four medals (one gold, one silver, two bronze) over the course of three Winter Olympics. She is tied with Cindy Klassen as the Canadian with the most Olympic medals, with six medals total.
Hughes is one of the few athletes who have competed in both the Summer and Winter Olympic games. Hughes is one of only five people to have podium finishes in the Winter and Summer versions of the games, and is the only person to ever have won multiple medals in both. Hughes is also the only Canadian to have won medals in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. Hughes was the first Canadian woman to win a medal in road cycling at the Olympics (winning two in 1996 Atlanta Olympics).
Hughes started speed skating at the age of 16, she then took up the sport of cycling at the age of 17. She would eventually return to the sport of speed skating at the age of 28, after achieving success in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. With her experience and endurance earned through cycling, Hughes went on to a successful career in speed skating, competing in the 3,000 m and 5,000 m. This would eventually lead her to medal in these long distance events at the Winter Olympics. She then returned to cycling, at the age of 38, to later successfully return for the 2012 London Olympics.
Throughout her career Hughes received a number of other awards, trophies, and accolades. She was named Female Athlete of the Year by Speed Skating Canada in 2004 for long track. In 2006, she received the International Olympic Committee's Sport an Community Trophy. She was then named to the 2006 List of Most Influential Women in Sports and Physical Activity by the Canadian Association of Advancement of Women and Sport (CAAWS). In the summer of the year 2010, she was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.
As a result of her success in multiple sports and her humanitarian efforts, Hughes was named to both the Order of Manitoba and as an Officer of the Order of Canada. She is involved with Right To Play, which is an athlete-driven international humanitarian organization that uses sports to encourage the development of youth in disadvantaged areas.

April, 2015 - Wilma Rudolph - Ginger-Mint Julep
Wilma Rudolph
Throughout her childhood, Wilma Rudolph battled various diseases and afflictions. Born in 1940, Rudolph suffered from polio, scarlet fever, and double pneumonia. She wore a leg brace on her right leg, and her doctors questioned whether she would ever walk. By the age of 16, Rudolph was not only walking on her own, but also qualifying for the 1956 Olympics, where she won a bronze medal in the 4 x 100 meter relay. She went on to win three gold medals in the 1960 Olympics in Rome: the 100m, 200m, and 4 x 100 m relay (world record). In 110-degree Rome heat, she ran the 100m dash in an astounding 11 seconds flat - but the time was not credited with a world record because it was wind-aided.
Rudolph was United Press Athlete of the Year 1960, and Associated Press Woman Athlete of the Year for 1960 and 1961. Also in 1961, the year of her father's death, Rudolph won the James E. Sullivan Award, an award for the top amateur athlete in the United States. She was voted into the National Black Sports and Entertainment Hall of Fame in 1973, and the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1974. She was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 1983, honored with the National Sports Award in 1993. After retiring, Rudolph held a variety of coaching positions, yet spent most of her time strengthening her community and fighting for human rights. She died in 1994 of brain cancer; she was only 54 years old. Since 1997, her home state of Tennessee celebrates Wilma Rudolph Day every June 23rd.

February, 2015 - Yuri Kochiyama - Darkness on the Edge of Town
Yuri Kochiyama
Although, technically born in the U.S., Yuri, the daughter of Japanese immigrants, was not treated as a citizen as a young woman. The Federal government interned her in Kansas for over 3 years during WWII, and upon her release, she didn't move back to her native California, but instead moved to Harlem. As a Japanese-American, she joined an unlikely grou - Malcolm X's Organization of Afro-American Unity. Yuri famously was pictured in Life Magazine holding Malcolm X as he lay dying. Yuri's activist causes were diverse, including Puerto Rican independence, protesting the Vietnam War, nuclear disarmament, and rights for political prisoners. Yuri was nominated for a Nobel Prize through the 1000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize 2005 Project. She has been the subject of documentaries and plays. Yuri died at the age of 93 in June 2014.

February, 2015 - Olga Brajnikoff - Crimson Bulleit Punch
Olga Brajnikoff
At 18, Olga Brajnikoff left her middle-class family behind in Moscow to pursue her education in France, where women were allowed to attend medical school. She graduated in 1900 from the prestigious Paris Faculte' de Medicine, with a thesis on the effects of heavy alcohol consumption, a new area of interest among physicians. Brajnikoff practiced at the Ville-Evrard Asylum, the only hospital with a ward for alcoholics. She was the first woman doctor in France to study and treat alcoholism. Her status as an outsider marginalized her research interest: male physicians routinely mocked her for studying what they viewed as a working-class, non-French, problem. Although her research is largely forgotten today, Brajnikoff was one of many faceless women who courageously braved the male-dominated halls of French medicine.
