Her father did not accept the doctors verdict that she will be crippled for life. Brought her back home %26amp; trained her himself.
There was also a film made on her life. She had suffered from a major accident that caused her paralysis.
I am looking for the name of the African American, Olympic Gold winner Woman Athlete who overcame paralysis?
Her name is Wilma Rudolph... in1960 in Rome she won:
100 meters, 200 meters and I believe she was on the 4x100 relay team that also won gold.
Reply:Joe is correct, but she had polio, not an accident.
She was a wonderful person, who was an example to the rest of us.
