saved by her father
tenley albright, a surgeon's daughter, was stricken with nonparalytic polio at the age of 11. she made her first olympic appearance in 1952, winning the silver medal behind jeannette altwegg. less than two weeks before the 1956 cortina olympics, albright was practising when she hit a rut. as she fell, her left skate hit her ankle joint, cut through three layers of her right boot, slashed a vein, and severely scraped the bone. her father arrived two days later and patched her up. in the olympic competition she skated well enough to earn the first-place votes of ten of the 11 judges. back in the united states she entered harvard medical school and eventually became a surgeon herself.

田莉‧奥尔布赖特是一位外科医生的女儿，在11岁的时候，不幸患上脊髓灰质炎，她的父亲带她到处求医，为了增强她的体质，让她学习花样滑冰，这也让她走上了花样滑冰的舞台，康复后，她开始将花样滑冰作为她的爱好并开始从事这项运动。1952年她首次登上奥运会的竞技舞台，并获得了一枚银牌。 1956年奥运会前的两周，她在训练中发生意外，当她落下的时候她的左脚冰刀割开了她的踝关节，将右脚的靴子割开三层，伤到了动脉，并且刮开了她的骨骼。她的父亲两周后才赶到为她做了处理。但随后的奥运会上，她带伤上场，但仍然获得金牌，11个裁判都给她第一名的成绩。奥运会后，她返回美国，进入了哈佛医学院学习，此后她也成了一名外科医生。
