Polina Edmunds: 2nd at US Nationals; Headed to Sochi Olympics

Meet Polina Edmunds, the breakout star of the 2014 Prudential U.S. Figure Skating Championships!

Over the weekend, the 15-year-old skater was just a few points behind leader and winner Gracie Gold at the annual event held at TD Garden in Boston, Mass.

“I think tonight was the night we all needed to prove ourselves, and I think I proved myself,” Polina told press after her senior level debut.

And on early Sunday morning (January 12), Polina was announced as one of the ladies team members for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

Congrats, Polina – watch her performances below!
