Figure Skater Ashley Wagner Isn't Apologizing in ESPN's Body Issue About The Sport, She's Showcasing It

To us, Ashley Wagner is the face of figure skating right now, and in her essay about the sport, you can see her love for it.

The athlete, who is the reigning U.S. National Silver Medalist, defended her words in the mag on twitter, when one site took the piece like Ashley was apologizing for even being in the sport to begin with.

She wasn’t — at all.

“Let’s be clear, I’m making no apologies for my sport!” Ashley wrote on Twitter. “I’m excited to take this opportunity to showcase the athleticism of skating.”

Definitely read Ashley‘s essay, which will give you more appreciation for figure skating and Ashley.
