OlderOlympic Skater Ashley Wagner Revealed She Auditioned For Netflix's 'Spinning Out' While Live Tweeting the Show
Ashley Wagner live tweeted Netflix’s new competitive figure skating series, Spinning Out, over the weekend and it was a must watch.
The now 28-year-old retired Olympic bronze medalist checked out the first full season of the series, which stars Kaya Scodelario and Willow Shields.
In one of them, Ashley revealed that she auditioned for Kaya‘s role of Kat.
“Also fun fact for you guys, I auditioned for Kat,” she told fans on Twitter, however it didn’t work out.
Ashley added, “I walked into the casting room and one of the girls from Handmaids Tale was there and I knew I was DONE FOR. Super fun though, I guess I just wasn’t believable enough as a skater trying to make it in the competitive world 🤷🏼♀️”

I can’t see past Kat’s over the boot tights. I know she’s a fictional character but I feel a strong need to sit her down in the locker room and tell her seniors get upgraded to a good pair of pantyhose.

Also, this show is one HUGE example of safe sport violations left and right 😬

Also, all this standing and talking in the middle of the ice during a training session is giving me ANXIETY. Raf would be yelling at me to get to work or I would be getting plowed over by someone’s triple flip. GO TO THE BOARDS GUYS #spinningoutnetflix

K so he was apparently a v good hockey player…THIS MAKES SENSE NOW #spinningoutnetflix

Is anyone else bothered by Kat’s loose, one hair band long pony? Let’s be real, after a training day that would not hold up. Give me my entire package of scunci hair ties, triple twist it around and hope for the best #spinningoutnetflix

Things I Learned Today (in no particular order): Netflix found out about my competitive skating mother and decided to take me RIGHT BACK THERE. (Love ya mom)
— Ashley Wagner (@AshWagner2010) January 5, 2020
Ok, so real quick. Call the police of you find out a grown adult is abusing your underage daughter. Def a good idea ALWAYS, punching them in the face a la January Jones is not 😬

Someone needs to tell the rest of the universe that skaters do not train in ballet skirts and wrap sweaters

I learned that I’m on a poster and that’s pretty cool #spinningoutnetflix
— Ashley Wagner (@AshWagner2010) January 5, 2020
I learned I have a strong desire to go skate in a rink with a wooden ceiling Bc tbh that was GORGEOUS
— Ashley Wagner (@AshWagner2010) January 5, 2020
I learned that Kat is confident AF Bc I’ve heard that twist is literally the worst for new pair girls and she just went and pulled off a 3 twist like she’d been doing it for years.
