Zaharias
U.S. athlete, sometimes called the greatest woman athlete of the 20th cent. Born in Port Arthur, Texas, she became a remarkable performer in basketball and track and field, and later a leading golfer. In 1930-31 she was a member of the women's All-America basketball team. In national track-and-field competition in 1930-32, she won eight events and tied for a ninth. In the 1932 Olympics she won gold medals in the 80-m hurdles and javelin throw; she was deprived of the high-jump gold medal for using a then-unorthodox method. As a golfer from 1946, she won numerous championships, incl. the U.S. and British women's amateur tournaments (1946, 1947) and the U.S. Women's Open (1948, 1950, 1954); her last Open victory followed cancer surgery in 1953.
