Sally Bauer
Sally Bauer was a pioneering Swedish swimmer known for being the first Scandinavian woman to swim across the English Channel in 1947. Despite her remarkable achievements, Bauer's legacy faded over time, overshadowed by historical events such as World War II and the general tendency for female athletes' accomplishments to be forgotten more quickly than those of their male counterparts. Her story has gained renewed attention in recent discussions about the portrayal of historical figures in sports films, particularly in the context of the movie 'Rootsi torpeedo,' which raises questions about the narrative choices made by filmmakers.
