At age 4 , she had double pneumonia with scarlet fever, a deadly combination which left her paralysed with polio. She had to wear a brace and the doctor said SHE WUD NEVR PUT HER FOOT ON EARTH.
But her mother encouraged her; she told Wilma tat wid God-given ability, persistance n faith she cud do anything she wanted. Wilma said,"I WANT TO B THE FASTEST WOMAN ON THE TRACK ON THIS EARTH."
At the age of 9, against the advice of doctors, she removed the brace n took the first step the doctors had said she never wud. At the age of 13, she entered her first race n came way way last. And thn she enterd her second, n third n fourth n came way way last until a day came wen she cam in first.
At the age of 15, she went to Tennessee State University wher she met a coach by the name of Ed Temple. She told him, " I WANT TO B THE FASTEST WOMAN ON THE TRACK ON THIS EARTH." Temple said, "With ur spirit nobody cn stop u n besides, i'll help u."
The day came wen she was at the Olympics n at the Olympics ur matched wid the best of the best. Wilma was matched against a woman named Jutta Heine who had never been beaten.The First event was the 100-meter race. Wilma beat Jutta Heine n won her first Gold Medal. The Second event was the 200-meter race n Wilma beat Jutta a second time n won her second Gold Medal.
The Third event was the 400-meter relay n she was racing against Jutta one mor time. In the relay, the fastest person always runs the last lap n they both anchored their teams. The first three people ran n changed the baton easily. When it came to Wilma's turn, she dropped the baton. But Wilma saw Jutta shoot up at the other end , she picked the baton ran a like a machine, beat Jutta a third time n won her third gold medal.
