Wilma Rudolph was born in 1940， in Saint Bethlehem， Tennessee. She had many illnesses when she was very young， including pneumonia（肺炎） and scarlet fever（猩红热）. She also had polio（小儿麻痹症）， which damaged her left leg. When she was six years old， she began to wear metal leg braces because she could not use that leg. Every week， Wilmas mother drove her to a special doctor eighty kilometers away. Here， she got physical treatments to help heal her leg.
She later said， “My doctors told me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.”
Soon， her familys attention and care showed results. By the time she was nine years old， she no longer needed her leg braces. Wilma was very happy， because she could now run and play like other children.
At age 13， she entered a race. She came in last. She entered every race in high school， and in every race she came in last. Everyone begged her to quit！ However， one day， she came in next to last. And then there came a day when she won a race. From then on， Wilma Rudolph won every race that she entered.
Wilma went to Tennessee State University， where she trained hard. In 1960， she set the world record for the fastest speed in the two?thousand?meter event. She said， “I ran and ran and ran every day， and I acquired this sense of determination， this sense of spirit that I would never， never give up， no matter what else happened.”
That same year， Wilma Rudolph went to the Olympics， this time in Rome， Italy. She won two gold medals—first place—in the one?hundred?meter and the two?hundred?meter races. She set a new Olympic record of 23.2 seconds for the two?hundred?meter dash. Her team also won the gold medal in the four?hundred?meter sprint relay event， setting a world record of 44.5 seconds. These three gold medals made her one of the most popular athletes at the Rome Games. These victories made people call her the “worlds fastest woman”.
