Sport: Gunhild Larking



Kajsa Bergqvist and Emma Green are great high jumpers but I'd take Gunhild Larking any day. Gunhild Larking was Swedish champion 1952-1956 and came 4th in the women's high jump in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. She was probably more photographed than the winner. Who won anyway and who cares?

Solve the Gunhild jigsaw puzzle.



Thanks to Uffe Sundell who posted this photo in argument with those who think sport is all about appearance now and not before. Gunhild was surely an exception but anyway...
