![Before the 1932 games, Didrikson was involved in a racial incident involving fellow athletes Tidye Pickett and Louise Stokes, both of whom are black. In Denver, on a train, Didrikson threw water on Pickett and Stokes, because Didrikson didn't like having African-American athletes on the team. Pickett and Stokes were later removed from the team, and replaced by white athletes who had qualified with slower times from the trials. 14]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7hcljcfc5kuyd47jueltllit/bafkreiatmwg2be5aglvaj6dhcwz5dj35ogjm4rhhh4zdplxlgc4qb556nm)
