About Dorothy Greenhough Smith
- Dorothy Greenhough-Smith (27 September 1882 – 9 May 1965) was a British figure skater. She was born Dorothy Vernon Muddock in Stokesley, North Riding of Yorkshire, the daughter of writer James Edward Preston Muddock, and married publisher/editor Herbert Greenhough Smith in 1900. Greenhough-Smith won the bronze medal at the 1908 Summer Olympics, the first Olympics where figure skating was contested.
- She was the 1912 World silver medalist, which was the first silver medal in ladies skating for Great Britain (Madge Syers having won the silver in men's singles).
- She never competed at the European Figure Skating Championships because the ladies event was not added to the program until 1930. Away from the ice, she also played tennis; she entered the 1914 Wimbledon Championships, losing in the first round.
