It was the medal that was taken from her 50 years before. She died later that year. But her story lives on. Her daughter, Jean Kanokogi, published a book. She shares her mom’s story with others. “Rusty’s story is really that of an ordinary person who did extraordinary things,” she told TIME for Kids. She wants the story to motivate others. She hopes to “help people realize they can do anything they want.” </p> <div class="image"><img src="https://www.timeforkids.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/G2_230127_medal.jpg?w=1024" width="1024" height="683" alt=""/></div><p class="caption">This medal is from the first women’s judo world championship.
