WILMA RUDOLPH
Wilma Glodean Rudolph was an African-American sprinter who became a world-record-holding Olympic
champion and international sports icon in track and field following her successes in the 1956 and 1960 Olympic
Games. In 1960, Rudolph became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track and field at a
single Olympics. Held in Rome, Italy, the 1960 Olympic Games were a golden time for Rudolph. After tying a
world record with her time of 11.3 seconds in the 100-meter semifinals, she won the event with her windaided
mark of 11.0 seconds in the final. Similarly, Rudolph broke the Olympic record in the 200-meter dash
(23.2 seconds) in the heats before claiming another gold medal with her time of 24.0 seconds. She was also
part of the U.S. team that established the world record in the 400-meter relay (44.4 seconds) before going on
to win gold with a time of 44.5 seconds.
