When Wilma was a child she was very tiny and sickly,before wilma turned five she got sicker than ever…during this sickness Wilma left leg twisted inward & she couldn't move it bak……when the doctor came to see her he said beside scarlet fever Wilma was stricken

with polio ( in those days most children who

got polio either died or were permenantly cripple,there was no cure)

But at last Wilma over came her polio by doing leg excercises & she could finally get off

her brace and be a normal person……Wilma

grew up to be a famous runner….she Achived

3 gold medals in the Olympics (Track and Field games) when she was representing the United states.

Wilma Rudolph once known as the sickliest child in clarksville,had become the fastest woman in the world.
