Wilma Glodean 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, the 20th of 22 children, had polio. Her mother took her to a hospital for blacks 50 miles from their home twice a week, and rubbed her leg 4 times a day.Finally at age 12, she could walk normally. she decided to become an athlete on the influence of a track coach. She lost many of her early races. Slowly she went from last, to second from last, to first in all her races. She was playing for the basketball team of her junior high school, when she was spotted by the track and field coach. 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.

After her athletic career, Rudolph worked as a teacher, track coach, and sports commentator. She married Robert Eldridge in 1963 and had four children: Yolanda (1958), Djuanna (1964), Robert Jr. (1965) and Xurry (1971). They later divorced.

At age 54, Wilma Rudolph died in her home in Brentwood, Tennessee of brain cancer.

In 2004, the United States Postal Service issued a 23 cent postage stamp featuring Rudolph.

hi Vicky. do you like techno --- In small doses what are your evaluations on: grunge --- no longer a huge fan classic rock --- like it! metallic --- i like little or no of it do you savor justin timberlake --- can no longer say I do stephen colbert or jon stewart --- Colbert sought after female rock vocalist --- Ann Wilson sought after female pop vocalist --- Whitney Houston do you ever pay attention to latin music --- I used to as quickly as I took Spanish. do you like to bounce --- no longer likely adam sandler or will ferrel --- Will Ferrell (THE MEATLOAF!) **Adam Sandler is hilarious, yet I picked Will regularly for his older SNL stuff. i think of Adam Sandler's video clips are a lot greater advantageous.
