Wilma Rudolph, born in 1940 in Tennessee, overcame polio that left her left leg twisted, with doctors saying she would never walk.
Wilma took her first steps without braces at 12 thanks to her mother’s unwavering support, daily massages, and therapy.
Determined to run, she joined her school’s track team, faced failures, but kept pushing.

Eventually, she became a track star and qualified for the 1960 Rome Olympics, winning three gold medals and earning the title “The Fastest Woman on Earth”.
Wilma’s journey from disability to Olympic glory is a timeless tale of determination and triumph.
