No, Wilma got polio when she was 4. Lots of people think she got it when she was 6, but that is incorrect. When Wilma Rudolph was 7 she started using leg braces and she started to walk again.

When did Wilma Rudolph show talent or interest for her future career?

Wilma Rudolph first showed talent or interest for her future career in the U.S. Olympics sometime between the ages of 12-16. She was 16 when she earned a position on the U.S. Olympic track and field team. Beginning sometime in 1952, the 12-year-old Wilma Rudolph achieved the dream of shedding her handicap. Her older sister was on a basketball team, and it was around this time that Wilma vowed to follow in her footsteps. She was later spotted playing by Tennessee State track and field coach Edward S. Temple. He later stated that the day he saw Rudolph for the first time he knew he had found a natural athlete. By the time Rudolph was 16, she had earned a position on the U.S. Olympic track and field team.
