Description
When Rosa Grosse first ran at the Canadian National Exhibition's Athletic Day in 1923 she never imagined the heights she would reach in the sport of sprinting. Already known as a fine basketball player, she became a world record holder and arguably the finest female sprinter Canada ever produced.
Her running earned her fame and publicity she did not seek. Never comfortable in the spotlight, she was a reluctant sports hero who was celebrated and acclaimed throughout the country. By her achievements she brought women's running from a sideshow entertainment at picnics and men's competitions to the international stage. As such, she was a trailblazer, breaking down barriers and rousing young women everywhere to take up the sport.
Her story is an inspiring one. While achieving greatness she faced a significant personal challenge. She was losing her hearing.
