Wilma Rudolf was born in Clarksville, Tennessee, in 1940. There were 22 children in her family. Wilma was not a strong child. When she was very young, her leg began to have problems. Wilma’s family loved her and helped her. Her mother and her sisters massaged (按摩) her bad leg. The doctor put a brace (矫形支架) on her leg and it was with her for six years. Luckily, the brace was taken off when she was 12.
At high school Wilma started to run. Soon she won every race she ran. Then she prepared for the national races. At the age of 15, she won all of the nine races. The next year, 1956, Wilma was in the Olympic Games in Australia. She came back with a bronze medal.
In 1960, Wilma went to the Olympic Games in Italy. The weather was very hot just as it was in Tennessee. The Italians cheered her. Wilma won the 100-metre race, the 200-metre race, and the 400-metre relay. At that year Wilma Rudolf was the first American woman to win three Olympic gold medals.
In 1963, Wilma got her degree in education. That year she married her high school sweetheart, and now they have four children.
