About me / Bio:
Barbara Janiszewska, also known as Barbara Sobotta, was a Polish athlete who mainly competed in the women's sprint events during her career. She was one of the leading members of the Wunderteam, a group of Polish female sprinters who dominated the European scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s. She specialized in the 200 meters, where she won two gold and two bronze medals at the European Championships in 1958 and 1962. She also participated in three Olympic Games, winning a bronze medal in the 4 x 100 meters relay in 1960. She was considered one of the most beautiful runners of her time and was nicknamed "Miss Sprinter". She was married to two Olympic athletes, Zbigniew Janiszewski and Piotr Sobotta, and had a son, Łukasz Nowicki, who became a famous actor. She died of cancer in 2000 at the age of 63.
