# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Mildred Ella Didrikson, called Babe, played basketball and baseball before the 1932 Summer Olympics, where she took two golds and a silver in track and field. Then she walked away from the sport that made her famous and turned to golf. She won ten LPGA major championships as a professional, a run that lasted until her death on September 27, 1956, at forty-five. Few athletes master one discipline at that level; she mastered two in separate decades.
