an Olympic sprinter by the name of Wilma Glodean Rudolph. When Wilma was an infant when she contracted polio, which led to paralysis in her legs. Even though the odds were never in her favor, Rudolph put herself to the test and went on to win three gold medals in various track events at the 1960 Rome Olympics.

By the 1960s there was a surplus of the U.S. dollars caused by foreign aid, military spending, and foreign investment which threatened the Bretton Woods system, because the United States did not have enough gold to cover the volume of money in the worldwide circulation at the $35 per ounce exchange rate (Office of the Historian, n.d.).
