Karin Roßley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karin Roßley, née Regel (born 5 April 1957 in Cottbus) is a retired East German hurdler, who represented the sports team SC Cottbus. She won the bronze medal at the 1978 European Championships.
Karin Roßley set two world records during her career: 55.63 seconds in August 1977 in Helsinki and 54.28 seconds in May 1980 in Jena. The latter stood for three years until Anna Ambraziené ran in 54.02 seconds in Moscow.[1] Karin Roßley's personal best time remained at was 54.28 seconds, a result which ranks her eighth among German 400 m hurdlers, behind Sabine Busch, Cornelia Ullrich, Ellen Fiedler, Heike Meissner, Gudrun Abt, Silvia Rieger and Susanne Losch.[2]
