</h2> <div class='description'> <p>Débuting at the Olympics at the age of 14, Hannelore Anke won her first major medal in 1973, a silver at the inaugural World Swimming Championships in the 200 m breaststroke. After a disappointing European Championships in 1974, she became one of the stars at the 1975 Cali World Championships, winning both breaststroke events and a gold in the medley relay. In 1978, she added a silver medal in the 200 m breaststroke. In 1976, Anke won two Olympic golds, setting world records in the 100 m breaststroke and medley relay. Four years earlier at München she had been eliminated in the first round of the 200 m breaststroke.</p> <p>Anke was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1990. After the re-unification of Germany, former East German officials admitted to administering doping to nearly all their swimmers, including Anke. By profession, she became a nursery nurse.</p> </div> <h2>Results</h2> <table class='table'> <thead> <tr> <th>Games</th> <th>Discipline (Sport) / Event</th> <th>NOC / Team</th> <th>Pos</th> <th>Medal</th> <th>As</th> <th></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr class='active'> <td> <a href="/editions/18">1972 Summer Olympics</a> </td> <td><a href="/sports/SWM">Swimming</a> (<a href="/sport_groups/AQ">Aquatics</a>)</td> <td><a href="/countries/GDR"><img style="padding-right: 2px; vertical-align: middle" src="https://olympedia-flags.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/GDR.png" />GDR</a></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>Hannelore Anke</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td> <a href="/results/6400">200 metres Breaststroke, Women</a> <small>(Olympic)</small> </td> <td></td> <td>9</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr class='active'> <td> <a href="/editions/19">1976 Summer Olympics</a> </td> <td><a href="/sports/SWM">Swimming</a> (<a href="/sport_groups/AQ">Aquatics</a>)</td> <td><a href="/countries/GDR"><img style="padding-right: 2px; vertical-align: middle" src="https://olympedia-flags.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/GDR.png" />GDR</a></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td>Hannelore Anke</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td> <a href="/results/6666">100 metres Breaststroke, Women</a> <small>(Olympic)</small> </td> <td></td> <td>1</td> <td><span class="Gold">Gold</span></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td> <a href="/results/6678">200 metres Breaststroke, Women</a> <small>(Olympic)</small> </td> <td></td> <td>4</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td> <a href="/results/6727">4 × 100 metres Medley Relay, Women</a> <small>(Olympic)</small> </td> <td>East Germany</td> <td>1</td> <td><span class="Gold">Gold</span></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h2>Special Notes</h2> <ul> <li> Listed in <a href="/lists/193/manual">Olympians Who Set a European Record in Long Course Swimming</a> (100 m breaststroke – 22 July 1976 - 22 August 1978: 1:11.11 (22 July 1976; Montréal, CAN), 1:10.86 (22 July 1976; Montréal, CAN); 200 m breaststroke – 13 July 1973 - 5 September 1973: 2:40.28 (13 July 1973; Berlin, FRG); 4×100 m medley relay – 18 July 1976 - 20 July 1980: 4:07.95 (18 July 1976; Montréal, CAN)) </li> <li> Listed in <a href="/lists/182/manual">Olympians Who Set a World Record in Long Course Swimming</a> (100 m breaststroke – 22 July 1976 - 22 August 1978: 1:11.11 (22 July 1976; Montréal, CAN), 1:10.86 (22 July 1976; Montréal, CAN); 4×100 m medley relay – 18 July 1976 - 20 July 1980: 4:07.95 (18 July 1976; Montréal, CAN)) </li> <li> Listed in <a href="/lists/151/manual">Olympians Who Won a Medal at the European Aquatics Championships</a> (1–0–0 1974 Wien SWM gold: 4×100 m freestyle relay (swam in heats only)) </li> <li> Listed in <a href="/lists/144/manual">Olympians Who Won a Medal at the World Aquatics Championships</a> (3–1–0 1973 Belgrade SWI silver: 200 m breaststroke; 1975 Cali SWI gold: 100 m breaststroke, 200 m breaststroke, and 4×100 m medley relay) </li> </ul> </div> </body> <footer class='footer'> <br> <div class='panel panel-info'> <div class='panel-heading'> <h3 class='panel-title'> <span class='glyphicon glyphicon-info-sign'></span> Did you know? </h3> </div> <div class='panel-body'> <p>The United States has sent athletes to all Olympics since 1896 (both Summer and Winter Games), with the sole exception of the 1980 Summer Olympics.
