Wilma Rudolph

I want to study Wilma Rudolph because, she was the first American women to win three gold medals in track and field events at the Olympics. I want to be in the Olympics one day and try my best and never give up like Wilma Rudolph. I found that she was 16 years old when she first started the Olympics, I also found out she twisted her ankle because she fell in a hole, which is very interesting to me because I never knew that. I wonder if she would still be in the Olympics if she was still alive!
