Margaret Lambert, a Jewish-German high jumper excluded from the 1936 Berlin Olympics, is the subject of the first documentary of the Olympic Channel series “Foul Play.”
Lambert told her story in an Olympic Channel interview just before her death in July at 102 years old.
The 23-minute film will be available on OlympicChannel.com and the Olympic Channel app starting Thursday.
Lambert, then known as Gretel Bergmann, was a German national champion and an Olympic medal contender in the summer of 1936. Less than two months before the Berlin Games, she cleared what ended up being the gold-medal height at the Olympics.
