She contracted polio in her early years and her doctors said she would never walk again. But Wilma persisted with treatment, and she recovered her strength by the age of 12. At school, Wilma showed a talent for basketball and sprinting, earning the nickname \"Skeeter\" (mosquito) as she ran so fast. Wilma was in college when she went to the 1960 Olympics.
