Right up there with Jesse Owens in termsof the magnitude of athletic and life accomplishments. Ms. Rudolph'sstory is inspirational. Shewas bornprematurely on June 23, 1940,inSaint Bethlehem, Tennessee.She was the twentieth of 22 siblings from her father'stwo marriages.Rudolph suffered from several early childhood illnesses,and she contractedinfantile paralysisat the age of five.She lost strengthin her left leg and foot. Physically disabled for much of her early life,Rudolph wore a leg brace until she was twelve years old. Rudolph'sparents sought treatment for her atMeharry Medical College. Now imagine, just for a moment, what it musttake to go from being a disabled child, with difficulties walking, to anOlympic medalist- and I'm not talking about earning medals in badminton ortable tennis (no disrespect to those competitors). Ms. Rudolph earned 3gold medals in Rome at the 1960 Olympics. How cool would it have been tospend the morning touring the Roman Colosseum and Trevi Fountain, and thengoing to watch Ms. Rudolph win gold medals in the 100 and 200 metersprints? In 1956, at the age of just 16, she competed in the Olympics inAustralia. 16 YEARS OLD!!! Truly remarkable story of human courage.Sadly she passed away in 1994 from Cancer. Rest in peace Ms. Rudolph...
