Wilma Rudolph Running Quotations

By the time I was 12 I was challenging every boy in our neighborhood at running, jumping, everything.

I don't know why I run so fast. I just run.

I loved the feeling of freedom in running, the fresh air, the feeling that the only person I'm competing with is me.

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose.

Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.
