Mirai Nagasu – Figure Skating

Nagasu became the next star teen in American figure skating when she won the 2008 U.S. title at the age of 14. She became the second youngest woman to win the title (Tara Lipinski in 1997 is the youngest) and was too young to compete at the 2008 World Championships. Accommodating a four-inch growth spurt, Nagasu finished fifth at the 2009 U.S. Championships. Now that the U.S. women will only have two spots at the Winter Games for the first time since 1994, it may be even tougher to qualify. Still, at 16, she still has plenty of promise and may not have yet reached her peak.
