Biography

Kristin Otto entered a sports school at a young age after East Germany's comprehensive scouting program identified her as a swimming prospect. In 1982 she set her first world record as a member of her country's 4×100-meter medley relay team. A favorite to win a medal at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, Otto was unable to compete because of East Germany's boycott. Later that year she cracked a vertebra and spent nine months in a neck brace; although physicians advised her to give up her sport, she returned to compete at the 1986 world championships in Madrid, winning four gold and two silver medals.

At the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games Otto entered six events and won gold medals in all of them. Her individual victories included the 100-meter butterfly, 50-meter freestyle, 100-meter freestyle, and 100-meter backstroke. She also swam the lead leg in East Germany's 4×100-meter freestyle relay victory and the backstroke leg in the 4×100-meter medley relay. Prior to Otto's achievement, no woman had won more than four gold medals at a single Olympics.

While Otto has consistently denied knowingly taking any banned substances and never tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, Stasi documents produced after German reunification detail East Germany's systematic doping program known as State Plan 14.25, a secret plan in which East German doctors gave athletes steroids without the athletes' knowledge. Otto's name is listed in those documents. Since she never tested positive for drugs during International Olympic Committee-administered tests, however, her Olympic achievements continue to be recognized by the International Olympic Committee. Otto was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1993.
