#OTD in 1961, AP names Wilma Rudolph Female Athlete of the Year for the 2nd consecutive year

Rudolph overcame childhood polio to become the fastest woman runner in the world; first American woman to win 3 track/field gold medals in a single Olympiad, Rome 1960.

#WomenInSport #champion #inspiration
Black-and-white photograph of Wilma Rudolph crossing the finish line to win the women’s 4×100 m relay gold for the United States at the 1960 Rome Olympics on September 8, 1960. The 20-year-old Tennessee State Tigerbelle leans forward in full stride, baton raised triumphantly, as she becomes the first American woman to win three track-and-field gold medals in a single Games.
