Add my name to the list of mourners. With her passing and also Emil Zatopek quite recently, we have lost the greatest champions of the post WWII era. In Blankers-Koen's case, no one held WRs in more different events. And Zatopek's Oly record (48/52) and his unbeaten streak at 5K/10K for many years, is unmatchable.

If I may echo the previous sentiment. Bankers-Koen "Thank You" for uplifting this great sport of athletics with your vision and tenacity rooted in class.
Peace Be With You
