Eva von Bredow

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eva Elisabeth Gabriele Sophie von Bredow (born April 19, 1904 in Ponitz ; † November 6, 1979 in Berlin ) was a German athlete who was successful in the late 1920s. She started for the Brandenburg Sports Club .

As was customary at the time, she competed in several disciplines: in the high jump , in the long jump and in the 80-meter hurdles .

Services

Eva von Bredow was able to place herself at German championships several times and won four German championship titles:

  • 1924 second in high jump
  • 1925 champion in high jump
  • 1926 champion in high jump and third in long jump
  • 1927 Second in high jump and champion in long jump
  • 1928 long jump champion
  • 1929 Third in the long jump

In addition, she set two German records in individual disciplines:

  • 12.8 s over 80 meter hurdles, run on June 12, 1927 in Berlin at the 8-nation meeting of SC Brandenburg. This time was noted as the first official world record over this route.
  • 1.49 m in the high jump, achieved on August 22, 1926 in Braunschweig . In doing so, she improved Marie Heister's previous record by one centimeter. It lasted nine months before Marie Amthor screwed it to 1.51 m.

In the world rankings of those years, she was in the top ten four times:

  • 1926
    • 5th place in the long jump (5.34 m)
  • 1927
    • 1st place over 80 m hurdles (12.8 s, she was able to repeat this time in 1929, but only came in 11th place. The world record was already 12.2 s, held by Ludmila Sychrova .)
    • 8th place in the long jump (5.45 m)
  • 1928
    • 9th place in the long jump (5.36 m)

At the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam , where for the first time were athletics disciplines for women on the program, they did not participate. Competitions in the long jump and over the hurdles course were not held, and in the high jump Germany was only represented by Helma Notte , Inge Braumüller and Elisabeth Bonetsmüller . With her best performance of 1.49 m, Eva von Bredow would have had no chance anyway, as she would have had to jump 1.56 m for a medal.
