I believed my mother. — Wilma Rudolph 1 Let me tell you about a little girl who was born into a very poor family in Tennessee. She was the 20th of 22 children, prematurely born and her survival was doubtful. When she was four years old, she had double pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with a paralyzed and useless left leg. She had to wear an iron leg brace. Yet she was fortunate in having a mother who encouraged her. 2 Well, this mother told her little girl that despite the brace and leg, she could do whatever she wanted to do with her life. She told her that all she needed to do was to have faith, persistence, courage and an indomitable spirit. 3 So at nine years of age, the little girl removed the leg brace and took the step the doctors told her she would never take normally. In four years, she developed a rhythmic stride, which was a medical wonder. Then this girl got the idea, the incredible idea, that she would like to be the world’s greatest woman runner. 4 At age 13, she entered a race. She came in last — way, way 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. 5 Wilma went to Tennessee State University, where she met a coach named Ed Temple. Coach Temple saw the indomitable spirit of the girl. He trained her so well that in 1960 she went to the Olympic Games in Rome. 6 There she competed with the greatest woman runner of the day, a German girl named Jutta Heine. Nobody had ever beaten Jutta. But in the 100-meter dash, Wilma Rudolph won. She beat Jutta again in the 200 meters. 7 Finally came the 400-meter relay. It would be Wilma against Jutta once again. The first two runners on Wilma’s team made perfect hand-offs with the baton. But when the third runner handed the baton to Wilma, she was so excited she dropped it, and Wilma saw Jutta taking off down the track. It was impossible that anybody could catch this girl. But Wilma did just that! Wilma Rudolph had earned her third Olympic gold medal. 8 That day she made history as she became the first woman ever to win three gold medals in the same Olympic games. And they’d said she would never walk again...
