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.

Rie Mastenbroek herself personally never had the idea of being a "forgotten, or undervalued" champion; but contrary to many others of equal fame, she was never very fond of the limelight and thus did not pursue being celebrated.
Rie Mastenbroek, or Rie de Wit-Mastenbroek as she was called nowadays, passed away in Rotterdam on Thursday 6 November 2003.
Rie learned to swim at a very young age and one day, when she was eleven years old, she was invited by two observers to join a swimmingclub.

Jack Lovelock is a poll option as his gold for the mile was not just a unique achievement at the time, he also set the precedent for NZ's great record in middle distance runners (Peter Snell, Murray Halberg, Dick Quax, John Walker).
 Ria Mastenbroek prefigured Inge de Bruin as the first great Dutch swimmer, and her impact in Berlin overshadowed German female swimmers as much as Owens overshadowed German track and field hopes.
I'm a little surprised that Rie Mastenbroek failed to get any, and the occasional parochial Kiwi must have voted for Jack Lovelock.
