...precise and polished performance of World Champion Jenkins gave the U.S. its first gold medal. No sooner had the strains of The Star-Spangled Banner faded away than the Colorado stylist was all but forgotten. Accompanied only by his proud mother and his brother David (who finished third, behind California's Robertson), he hiked back through bitter cold to his hotel. No one had thought to send a car. Now everyone was worried about honey-haired Tenley Albright, the hard-luck kid from Newton, Mass. Only two weeks before, she had gashed her right ankle in a practice accident...
