*T&FT Rewind No.26 – Wilma Rudolph
Wilma Rudolph won 3 sprint gold medals at the 1960 Rome Olympics having recovered from polio as a child. Interesting that in spite of setting a 200m Olympic record in her semi-final of 23.2 she ended up in the far from suitable lane 1 of the cinder track – no lane seeding in those days – for the final and hence a far slower time.
