She is one of the most successful female long jumpers of all time and also had several successes in sprint disciplines. She is the only woman who has won two Olympic gold medals in the long jump (1992 and 2000). ==Biography== Drechsler was born in Gera, Thuringia, then East Germany. As a teenager she was active in the Free German Youth (FDJ) and in 1984 she was elected to the Volkskammer of East Germany. Initially a very competitive long jumper early in her career as a Teenager, At the age of 21 Drechsler made a transition into the world of elite sprinting in 1986. She married Andreas Drechsler in July 1984 and competed as ''Heike Drechsler'' from then on. She was coached by her Father inlaw Erich Drechsler.〔(Heike Drechsler ). Sporting Heroes. Retrieved on 2014-04-11.〕 In addition to her Olympic success, Drechsler won two World Championships in the long jump (1983 and 1993), as well as gold medals in the long jump and the 200 m sprint in the World Indoor Championships 1987. She also had numerous successes in European and German championships. Drechsler's greatest rival in the long jump was Jackie Joyner-Kersee, with whom she was also very good friends. In 1986, Drechsler twice equalled Marita Koch's 200 metres sprint (21.71 seconds) world record and set two long jump world records and equalled one in 1985 and 1986. , she had more than four hundred long jump competitions with results over seven meters, more than any other female athlete. According to an article written by Ron Casey (an Australian statistician), In 1986 Drechsler made significant improvements to her 100 m and 200 m times. In one season she went from an 11.75-second 100 m to 10.91 seconds. Her 200 m time improved from 23.19 seconds to 21.71 seconds (equaling the world record) in the 1986 season. Her 21.71 second performance for 200 m was run into a head wind of -0.8 m/s. By comparison, Marita Koch's 21.71 second runs in 1979 and 1984 had tail winds of +0.7 m/s and +0.3 m/s respectively. Drechsler's 200 m performance of 21.71 seconds into a head wind (-0.8 m/s) is one of the fastest ever run by a woman in the history of track and field. Several German websites, including her own, claim that Heike Drechsler was voted "Athlete of the Century" in 1999 by the IAAF. This is not quite correct: she was put on the "shortlist",〔()〕 but the award was given to Fanny Blankers-Koen.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heike Drechsler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
