Jim Thorpe was an incredible athlete who could play almost any sport perfectly! He was Native American and his name meant “Bright Path.” He was a superstar at running, jumping, playing football, and even playing baseball. Many people think he was the greatest athlete who ever lived!
In 1912, Jim went to the Olympic Games and won two gold medals for winning a bunch of different events all at once! He ran so fast and jumped so high that everyone was amazed. Jim showed the world that with practice and a love for playing games, you can do anything you set your mind to!
