BFH Day #2: Wilma Rudolph

Wilma Rudolph was born on June 23, 1940, in Saint Bethlehem, Tennessee, U.S.A. Overcoming childhood polio and wearing leg braces, she became an extraordinary sprinter.

Rudolph gained global recognition during the 1960 Rome Olympics, where she became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track and field. Her achievements inspired many and solidified her legacy as a trailblazer in women's sports.

Rudolph continued to advocate for education and health after her athletic career, leaving a lasting impact until her passing on November 12, 1994.
