This person is considered one of the greatest athletes of all time. She participated in track and field, basketball, baseball, tennis, javelin, and swimming. She won two gold medals in the 1932 olympics, and numerous golf tournaments in the 1940's and 50'

Mildred "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias is widely regarded as one of the most versatile and dominant athletes in history. Her extraordinary talent was showcased at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, where she won two gold medals. She set a world record in the javelin throw and another in the 80-meter hurdles. She also took home a silver medal in the high jump, only missing out on a third gold due to a controversial ruling on her jumping technique, which was then uncommon.

Long before her Olympic stardom, Zaharias was already a multi-sport phenom. She was an All-American basketball player and demonstrated remarkable skill in everything from baseball and swimming to tennis. Her power and ability across so many disciplines earned her the nickname "Babe," a comparison to the era's baseball legend, Babe Ruth. She defied expectations and broke barriers, proving that women could compete at the highest levels in a wide variety of sports.

After her track and field career, Zaharias reinvented herself as a professional golfer in the 1940s and 1950s, becoming the sport's first female celebrity. She won 41 professional tournaments, including 10 major championships. Her impact went beyond her own victories; in 1950, she was a co-founder of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), establishing an enduring institution that continues to provide opportunities for female athletes today.
