Answer 1

Wilma Rudolph (June 23, 1940 – November 12, 1994) was an American athlete and three time Olympic champion. Rudolph was born in Clarksville, Tennessee and at early age it was discovered that she had polio. Her mother took her to a hospital and by age 12, she could walk normally again.

She decided to become an athlete. Slowly she went from last, to second from last, to first in all her races. While attending Burt High School, Rudolph became a basketball star, setting state records for scoring and leading her team to the state championship. She later became a track star, competing at the 1956 Summer Olympics at the age of 16 where she won a bronze medal in the 4x100 m relay.

After high school, Rudolph was granted a full scholarship to Tennessee State University where she ultimately received her Bachelor's degree in education in 1963. At the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome she won three Olympic titles; in the 100 m, 200 m and the 4 x 100 m relay. In 1961, Rudolph received the James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the United States.
