　　1928年奥运会之前的四个月，贝蒂·罗宾逊才第一次参加比赛。她在自己的第一个室外比赛中便创造了100米的世界纪录。100米跑正是在1928年成为奥运会历史上首个女子径赛项目的，罗宾逊以半米的优势赢得决赛，而那只是她第四次参加比赛。她还得到了一块4×100米接力的银牌。

　　三年之后，罗宾逊在一次飞机失事事故中严重受伤。第一个发现她的人还以为她已经死了，将她装在汽车后备箱里直接送到了殡仪馆。整整七个星期，罗宾逊处于昏迷状态；随后的两年，她不能正常走路……但是，她活了下来。

　　罗宾逊仍想重返短跑赛场，但是她的膝盖再也不能完全弯曲了，所以她无法再采取蹲踞式起跑的姿势。但是，她还能跑接力！1936年，贝蒂·罗宾逊作为美国4×100米接力队的一员赢得了她的第二块奥运会金牌。小文（来源：中国体育报）
