In my opinion... Jackie Joyner Kersee -- Track and Field Babe Didrikson -- Track and Field AND Golf Wilma Rudolf -- Track and Field (Overcame polio to become Olympic Gold Medalist in 100m, 200m and 4x100 m relay) Fanny Blankers-Koen -- Track and Field (Olympic Gold-Medalist in Olympic Gold Medalist in 100m, 200m. 80m Hurdles and 4x100 m relay after missing out on 10 years of olympic gold opportunities during the war) Ann Meyers -- Basketball (First woman to sign a contract with a men's NBA team, first woman inducted into the US Basketball Hall of Fame) Didnt realize they were mostly track until I put them out there... but they are/were all phenomenal women. ---- Fanny Blankers-Koen was born in the Netherlands and competed for the Netherlands in the 1948 Games in London. An incredible athlete, she was the first woman to win four gold medals at an Olympic Games in Olympic history. And she did this at the age of 30. I might add Jenny Thompson who won 12 Olympic medals (8 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze) in swimming at the 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004 Summer Games.
Jackie Joyner Kersee does not have any kids. Jackie Joyner Kersee is most known for being an Olympic gold medalist in Track and Field.
None from winning but they may get millions from endorsements.
