  • @iguillo no roids!!

  • @IAMZAGOOSEOO7 they told her that she would NEVER be able to walk as a child...#endofstory

  • can someone tell me why you guys all like her so much? i mean shes a good sprinter but you guys all seem like shes a god.. no disrespect just wondering why this one lady would give this much inspiration

  • - oneeWORDD ? floateddddddddddddd !

  • @Aarontlondon - And yet you're STILL an idiot about track. The WR in 1960 was 22.9 and Rudolph ran 24.0 in the olympic final on a CINDER track out of lane ONE and into a swirling headwind...

    As for your opinion of it being 'slow', what you obviously don't realize is that women's track in the US was a virtual afterthought, with little competent coaching. The times improved rapidly AFTER her victory because they saw the potential of female athletes. Wilma opened the door for future generations.

  • @rich187113 it was 50yrs ago. things change. go look at NFL players in 1950.

  • @Aarontlondon What's your best in 200m buddy?

  • Wilma was bad on that track.

  • Are you watching the same video WE are? She was sick as a child and came all the way through it to this. What's there to feel bad about?
