“[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."
