Jarmila Kratochvílová (Czech pronunciation: [ˈjarmɪla ˈkratoxviːlovaː]  ( listen); born 26 January 1951 in Golčův Jeníkov) is a former Czech 400 m runner. Along with a late development, her career was dogged by injury and illness. Always in the shadow of Marita Koch she hit peak form in 1983 aged 32. Entering a one-off 800 m race in Munich, reportedly as a training exercise, she broke the world record with 1:53.28. This convinced her to attempt an unlikely double in the inaugural World Championships 10 days later. Despite a seemingly impossible schedule, she won the 800 m easily (in what is still the 5th best time ever in the event) and set a world record 47.99 to win the 400 m. Koch, having missed training through injury ran (and won) the 200 m. Though Koch beat her 400 m record in 1985, Kratochvílová's 800 m record remains as the longest standing individual record currently in Track and Field.
