	Blog of Death: Rie Mastenbroek (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Hendrika Wilhelmina "Rie" Mastenbroek, the first woman to win four medals during one Olympic Games, died on Nov. 6 from heart failure.
		The Dutch swimmer repeated this pattern at the age of 17 when she won gold medals in the 100-meter freestyle, the 400 freestyle and 400 freestyle relay, and a silver medal in the 100 backstroke at the 1936 Olympics.
		At 18, Mastenbroek became a swimming instructor, a career move that made her forfeit her amateur status, thereby becoming ineligible for competition.

	Bill Honors Achievements of an Uxbridge Olympic Medalist from the historic 1936 Olympics in Germany
		It was at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany that a 20-year-old Alice Bridges of Uxbridge attained a bronze medal in the 100 meter backstroke event.
		She was only a half second behind the gold medalist Dina “Nida” Senff, of the Netherlands and two-tenths of a second behind the silver medalist, Hendrika Mastenbroek, also of the Netherlands.
		Senator Moore and Representative Jennifer Callahan (D-Sutton) have introduced a bill to designate the bridge on Route 16 over the Mumford River in Uxbridge as the “1936 Olympic Medalist Alice Bridges Bridge.” The bridge site is located next to Capron Park, a feature of the state’s Blackstone River and Canal Heritage State Park.

	COMITÉ INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIQUE - ATHLÈTES
		La nageuse Rie Mastenbroek avait 17 ans lorsqu'elle aborda, avec le 100m nage libre, la semaine de 1936 qui allait la voir battre tous les records aux Jeux Olympiques de Berlin.
		Avant la course, une des autres nageuses, Ragnhild Hveger, avait offert des chocolats aux autres concurrentes, mais pas à Rie Mastenbroek.
		Hveger mena tout au long de la course, mais à 25m de l’arrivée, Rie Mastenbroek la distança pour finalement gagner avec un mètre d'avance.

	TIME.com: Olympic Games (Concl'd) -- Aug. 24, 1936 -- Page 3
		The Netherlands' equivalent of Jesse Owens and No. 2 celebrity of the Games turned out to be a ponderous 17-year-old from Rotterdam named Hendrika Wilhelmina Mastenbroek, who won both the 100 and 400-metre free style races, helped her team win the 400-metre relay.
		Because her pretty teammate, Dina Senff, took the 100-metre backstroke title, little Holland won every swimming event on the program except the 200-metre breast stroke which went to Japan.
		That this process is eminently successful, Dutch trainers feel to be conclusively proved by the fact that Swimmer Mastenbroek, whose hobby is cooking, weighs a mere 150 Ib.

		Secondly, because if I have money, I can help my race and become like Booker T. Washington."
