Britt Holmquist is a Swedish former racewalking athlete. She was twice a competitor at the IAAF World Race Walking Cup and was the bronze medallist in the first ever women's race in 1975. She was part of a Swedish medal sweep alongside Margareta Simu and Siv Gustavsson. While both Simu and Gustavsson returned to the podium at the 1977 edition, Holmquist fell back to fifth behind British opposition.[1]
Nationally, she won twice at the Swedish Athletics Championships, taking the 3000 metres race walk titles in 1974 and 1980.[2] She also competed at the AAA Championships in 1980, taking third place in the 5000 m walk behind Britain's Irene Bateman and Swedish compatriot Gustavsson.[3] Holmquist's highest global seasonal ranking was third, which she achieved in the 10,000 m walk in 1980.[4] She was twice a regional medallist, taking third at the Nordic Indoor Race Walking Championships in 1974 and being runner-up to Gustavsson at the 1977 Nordic Race Walking Championships.[5][6]
