"[Dave] Zirin's Edge of Sports imprint at Akashic is publishing Tigerbelle (Sept.), a memoir from two-time Olympic gold medalist sprinter Wyomia Tyus. The daughter of a tenant farmer in rural Georgia, she won top honors at the 1964 and 1968 Olympics. In the book, coauthored by Elizabeth Terzakis, she recalls her turbulent path to the top and her struggle to find recognition afterward." --Publishers Weekly, Sports Preview "Tigerbelle offers a fresh perspective on the history of women's sports in the United States. From her one-of-a-kind accomplishments on the track to her contributions to equal pay and publicity for women through the Women's Sports Foundation, Wyomia Tyus has earned her place in the pantheon of American sports sheroes and heroes." --

Tigerbelle : the Wyomia Tyus story / by Tyus, Wyomia,author.(CARDINAL)717331; Terzakis, Elizabeth,author.(CARDINAL)418538; Reid, Joy-Ann,1968-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)344729;

Includes bibliographical references.Suster: walking the farm -- "You just ran yourself into some shoes..." -- "Now run yourself into a Tigerbelle t-shirt!" -- First gold, new growth: the 1964 Olympics -- College as usual -- Spiders and fires and bombs -- B2B100m -- After the deluge -- Another life to live -- Making a way -- Getting out of the blocks (like everybody else) -- Mr. Temple's legacy -- Black women in sports: then and now -- Black lives have always mattered."In 1968, Wyomia Tyus became the first person ever to win gold medals in the 100-meter sprint in two consecutive Olympic Games, a feat that would not be repeated for twenty years or exceeded for almost fifty. Tigerbelle chronicles Tyus's journey from her childhood as the daughter of a tenant dairy farmer through her Olympic triumphs to her post-competition struggles to make a way for herself and other female athletes. The Hidden Figures of sport, Tigerbelle helps to fill the gap currently occupying Black women's place in American history, providing insight not only on what it takes to be a champion but also on what it means to stake out an identity in an hostile world. Tyus's exciting and uplifting story offers inspiration to readers from all walks of life."--Page [4] of cover.
