April 26 (UPI) -- Google is celebrating Olympic runner Fanny Blankers-Koen on what would have been her 100th birthday with a new Doodle.
Blankers-Koen, born near Baarn, the Netherlands in 1918, set a national record in the women's 800m at the age of 17 before competing at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin at the age of 18 where she placed fifth in the 4x100m and sixth in high jump.
