Wilma Rudolph / written by Ma Isabel Sánchez Vegara ; illustrated by Amelia Flower.
"When Wilma was a little girl she contracted polio and her doctors said she would never walk again. But with persistent treatment, she recovered her strength by the age of 12 and went on to display a remarkable talent for sprinting at school. Wilma was in college when she went to the 1960 Olympics, where she not only won gold medals in sprint events, but also broke world records with her sprinting skill. She had beaten polio to become an Olympic champion"-- Back cover.
