Changing Room Chat: ‘Flying Housewife’ back on Tube map

FANNY Blankers-Koen will be getting her name on the London Underground’s Olympic Legends Map after all.

The Dutchwoman, who was one of the biggest stars of the 1948 London Olympics, was originally left off a reinterpreted Underground map dedicated to former Olympians, prompting criticism from her homeland.

Yesterday, Blankers-Koen, known as the “Flying Housewife”, was added to the list for future prints. Transport for London director Chris Macleod said: “We apologise if any offence has been caused.”
