1932 Women 4x100m Freestyle Relay

The final developed into a duel between the host nation, Germany, and the Netherlands. Although only one of the German team had qualified from the heats of the individual event, they stayed with the Dutch and even held a small lead at the 200m mark. The Netherlands still had their two strongest swimmers to go and Willy den Ouden overhauled Inge Schmitz on the third leg to hand over to 100m champion Hendrika Mastenbroek in first leg. Throughout the final leg Germany’s Gisele Arendt threatened the leader but Mastenbroek’s familiar finishing took her to a narrow victory.
