Emmy Albus

Emmy Albus Liersch (13 December 1911 – 20 September 1995) was a German sprinter who won a gold medal in 4 × 100 m relay at the 1938 European Championships, the same year she set a world record in the 4 × 200 m relay.

At the 1936 Berlin Olympics her 4 × 100 m team set a world record in the semifinals and led the final until a missed exchange in the final leg led to the German relay team (also including Käthe Krauß , Marie Dollinger, and Ilse Dörffeldt) being eliminated. Individually, Albus finished sixth in the 100 m event.

At the 1938 European Athletics Championships, Albus finished sixth in the 100 metres in addition to the gold medal in the 4 × 100 metres relay.

In 1958 Albus married Walter Liersch, a fellow German sprinter.
