Ewa Kłobukowska (born 1 October 1946 in Warsaw, Poland) is a former Polish sprinter.
[edit] Biography
She won the gold medal in the women's 4x100 m relay and the bronze medal in the women's 100 m sprint at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
In 1965 in Prague she set a world record in the 100 m sprint with the time 11.1 s.
In 1966 at the European Athletics Championships in Budapest she won two gold medals in the 100 m sprint and the 4x100 m relay and the silver medal in the 200 m sprint.
Kłobukowska was also the first Olympic athlete to fail a gender test.[1] Having registered "one chromosome too many", she failed an early form of the chromatin test in 1967 and was subsequently banned from competing in professional sports. She was vindicated in 1968 after becoming pregnant and successfully giving birth to a son.[2] The exact type of her chromosomal anomaly was never revealed.[3]
