Life

Ingrid Auerswald is an Olympic champion who was one of the world's best 100-meter runners in the 1980s . Given the dominance of her teammates Marlies Göhr and Bärbel Wöckel , she did not achieve a significant victory in the individual race.

Besides Marlies Göhr, she is the only one who was involved in all world records set or valid between 1979 and July 2012 in the 4 x 100 meter relay.
