Bobbie Rosenfeld Canada's most famous female all-around athlete of the 1920s was Fanny "Bobbie" Rosenfeld. Baseball, basketball, fastpitch, golf, hockey, lacrosse, softball, speed skating, tennis, and track and field were some of the sports Bobbie played and mastered all (“Bobbie Rosenfeld: one of the greatest all-around athletes.”). The first event that put Rosenfeld in the spotlight was the 100-meter sprint that she ran, for fun, during a small track meet in 1923. During the meet, she finished first in the race, defeating Rosa Grosse, the leading Canadian champion. . She beat her again in another competition and set the world record for that event. The same year she was Toronto tennis champion (Rosenberg). Bobbie Rosenfeld continued her career by competing in a provincial track and field competition in 1925. She placed first in the discus, shot put, 220 meters, low hurdles and long jump. In the 100 meters and javelin, she finished second (Library and Archives Canada). At that time, she held the Canadian record in the 440-meter relay, standing vault, discus, javelin and shot put. Rosenfeld's greatest achievements came at the first Olympic Games allowing women to compete in track and field events, in Amsterdam in 1928. She was a member of the Matchless Six, the Canadian women's track and field team.
