The Paralympian has defied the odds all year, heading into next week's final.
May 13, 2014 — -- Amy Purdy may still have to "ice" her injuries every night, but the Paralympian has defied the odds and made it to the finals on "Dancing With the Stars."
Purdy and partner Derek Hough scored a total of 78 Monday night, only two points from a perfect score, cruising into the finals, while gold medalist Charlie White was voted off.
Everyone seems to be a Purdy fan, even Oprah Winfrey, who called during the duo's week of rehearsals to add her voice of support.
