Esther Roth-Shachamarov (born 1952) is a former Israeli track and field athlete. She specialized in the 100-meter hurdles and the 100-meter sprint.
A five-time gold medalist in the Asian Games, Roth just barely missed qualifying for the final in the 100-meter sprint in the 1972 Olympic Games. She qualified for the 100-meter hurdles final, but she withdrew from the Games after the murder of her longtime coach, Amitzur Shapira, at the hands of Palestinian terrorists (see Munich Massacre).
Roth won gold medals in 100 m, 200 m and 100 m hurdles in the 1974 Asian Games, and in 1976, became the first Israeli to enter the finals in an Olympic track event, when she finished 6th in the 100-meter hurdles.
[edit] Maccabiah Games
Roth won the 100-meter race in the 1973 Maccabiah Games in 11.75; the 200-meter race in the 1977 Maccabiah Games in 24.03; the 100-meter hurdles in the same games in 13.50; and the long jump in the 1969 Maccabiah Games with a 19 foot, 3/4 inch (5.81 meter) jump.
