Ashley Wagner puts on a brave face during the 2014 Prudential U.S. Figure Skating Championships at TD Garden on Saturday night (January 11) in Boston, Mass.

The 22-year-old figure skater, who had a disappointing free skate, claimed the 4th spot on the podium next to Gracie Gold, Polina Edmunds and Mirai Nagasu.

Thankfully though, Ashley is headed to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, as announced Sunday morning (January 12).

“It’s been a long 4 years to this point. I’m so proud and incredibly grateful that I’ll be representing my country at the Olympics in Sochi!” Ashley tweeted. “Thank you to everyone has supported me on this roller coaster. Thank you to my coaches that have shaped me along the way and my family!”
