At the 1962 European Championships, Poland’s Teresa Ciepły-Wieczorek won narrowly over East German Karin Balzer. But it would be a long time before Balzer lost an international. In 1966, 1969, and 1971 she won the Europeans. And in 1964 at Tokyo, she won the high hurdles gold medal in possibly the closest finish ever for the medals. Balzer won in a windy 10.54, with Ciepły-Wieczorek timed in 10.55, and Australia’s Pam Kilborn, Commonwealth Champion in 1962 and 1966, third in 10.56. The defending champion, Irina Press, placed fourth.
