Wilma Rudolph was born into a large family and struggled with
health problems for the first several years of her life, including
polio. Though she had trouble even walking, her love of sport and
movement motivated her to rehabilitate her legs. Rudolph would
blossom into athletic talent and after earning a scholarship to
Tennessee State, qualified for the 1960 Olympic Games where she
became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track
and field. Throughout her life, Wilma Rudolph faced many barriers
and yet she was able to overcome the odds to become an Olympic gold
medalist. After hanging up her spikes, Wilma would teach second
grade and coach track at her former high school. This work
describes her life in detail, and includes a timeline of
significant events in her life.
