After sterling World Championships, sledder Mystique Ro looks towards the Olympics
New York Amsterdam News
|March 27, 2025
The 2026 Olympic Winter Games are less than a year away, and after podium finishes at the recent International Bobsled and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) World Championships in Lake Placid, U.S. skeleton athlete Mystique Ro is feeling inspired. She earned a silver medal in women's skeleton and a gold medal in skeleton mixed team partnering with Austin Florian.
"It was a very long season," said Ro. "We started in Asia, which took a lot of preparation because those were two brand new tracks to me. It was a little rough. Then, we finally got to Europe, so I got a little bit more comfortable. Once we got to Europe, I started to build my confidence back. Then ending the World Cup tour in Lillehammer with a silver medal was great momentum going into the World Championships."
