The story

Noelle Lambert made history just by stepping onto the beach — the first above-knee amputee to play Survivor, a U.S. Paralympic sprinter who lost her left leg in a 2016 moped accident and turned it into a platform. She refused to be treated as a charity case, pulling her weight in challenges and camp life alike.

She played a steady social game and reached the merge before being voted out in eighth, joining the jury. Off the island she competes for Team USA and runs the Born to Run Foundation, getting prosthetics to kids — a trailblazer whose Survivor run was only one chapter.
