Her brothers and sisters took turns to give her leg a daily massage (按摩).Four times a day，they helped her do special exercises for her leg. Amazingly，by the time Wilma was 9 years old，she was able to walk again. Before long，she started playing basketball and running. In high school，she was a track star and then she went to the Olympics.
