Ashley Wagner

What fascinates me about Ashley Wagner is the arc: born in Heidelberg into a military family, constantly relocating, yet she clawed her way to the top of American figure skating. A World silver, an Olympic team bronze, a Four Continents title and three national crowns is a serious resume, but what I admire more is her theatricality on the ice. She skated like an actress, selling a story rather than just landing jumps. She also became one of the sport's more outspoken voices afterward, and that backbone interests me as much as her medals. A genuinely compelling competitor.
