Karla Linke (also Carla; born 29 June 1960) is a retired German swimmer who won the 200 m breastroke event at the 1974 European Aquatics Championships, breaking the world record twice in the process.[1] The following year, she collected two medals at the 1975 World Aquatics Championships: a silver in the 400 m medley and a bronze in the 200 m breaststroke.[2] She also competed at the 1976 Summer Olympics in the 100 m and 200 m breaststroke events and finished eighth and fifth, respectively.[3]
After retiring from competitive swimming in 1977, Linke moved to Sweden and worked for the German-Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Dresden. As of May 2012 she was employed by the Swedish Embassy in Berlin.[4]
