How Can We Help?
Inga Kristina Gentzel (later Dahlgren, 24 April 1908 – 1 January 1991) was a Swedish runner who won a bronze medal in the 800 m at the 1928 Summer Olympics. Shortly before the Olympics, she set a new world record in this event, broken two weeks later, but remained a national record until 1943. Gentzel won the silver medal in the 1000 m at the 1926 Women's World Games.[1][3]
Gentzel represented Djurgårdens IF.[4] She held Swedish titles in the 200 m in 1929 and the 800 m in 1928–31.[5]
She worked as a piano teacher in Nyköping and often appeared on the Swedish radio as a member of the vocal group Trio Rita, together with Ulla Castegren and Anna-Lisa Cronström. She was a niece of the actor Ludde Gentzel.[3]
