At the 1960 Rome Olympics, Wilma Rudolph became the first woman to win three gold medals in track and field events at a single Olympics Games.

Rudolph persevered and became one of America’s greatest track stars. #HiddenHerstory #APeoplesJourney

1960 Rome Summer Olympics, 800m final. Peter Snell stunned the running world in 1960 when he won the Olympic 800. He had been lucky to have made the New Zealand team in the first place, and then to have got through the two elimination rounds was beyond anyone’s hopes. From his Olympic gold medal in Rome, Snell went on to be the dominant 800/1,500 runner of the first half of the 1960s. | Nostalgic Kiwi
