Perhaps no Olympic champion had greater childhood hardships than Wilma Rudolph. When
she was very young, Wilma had to walk with a brace on her left leg until she was 11 years old.
Nine years later, she would win three gold medals at the 1960 Rome Olympics-becoming one
of America's most beloved athletes.
But Wilma's triumph in Rome did not begin well. The day before her qualifying race in the
100-meter event, she tripped over a water pipe and severely sprained her ankle. But that
night, the swelling went down. Wilma would make it to the starting line, but she had to keep
her ankle taped throughout the Olympics.
Despite the injury, Rudolph won the gold medal in the 100-meter race. Even more
remarkable, she won another in the 200 meters. Then to top off her glorious day, Wilma ran
the anchor leg on the victorious 4 x 10 relay team. Rudolph became the star of the 1960
Olympic Games as newspapers all over the world called her "the fastest woman in the world."
