Netherlands Produces Obvious Successor To Fanny Blankers-Koen
NZPA—Copyright Rec. 9 p.m. LONDON, Aug. 22. The Netherlands has apparently produced an obvious successor to the Olympic sprinter, Mrs Fanny Blankers-Koen, says the Daily Telegraph. The newcomer is Miss Foujke Dilemma, aged 23. Powerfully built and witn a terrific finish, Foujke soundly beat Miss S. Cheeseman (Britain) and the Olympic runner-up, Miss D. Manley, in the 100 Metre event at the women’s triangular international match at White City. Later, in the 200 Metres, although Miss Cheeseman beat the British national record with 24.8 sec, the Dutch girl had a yard in hand when she broke the tape in 24.65ec. The meeting, which was the first of its kind since the war, gave England a win with 67 points, against 54 by France and 48 by the Netherlands.
