Four-time Paralympic sit-skier and many-time wheelchair road racing champion Candace Cable, Truckee, California, won the 2002 Wilma Rudolph Courage Award, presented by the Women's Sports Foundation.

"This is an incredible honor," Cable said, as quoted on the United States Ski Team website (www.usskiteam.com). "I'm the first disabled athlete to get this, and it's nice for me, but it's so great for disabled sportsespecially disabled skiingto get this kind of exposure."

The award, first given in 1996, is named for the late Olympic track and field star who overcame pneumonia, scarlet fever, and polio. It's given to a female athlete who has overcome adversity. Cable, 48, who has used a wheelchair since an auto accident in 1975, has won over 70 wheelchair marathons as well as Paralympics medals. The US flag bearer at the 2002 Paralympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, she also helps promote disabled sports and women's programs.
