Mirai Nagasu Learned Triple Axel At Unusual Age, After Not Making The Olympic team

Description

Maddie Meyer/Getty Mirai Nagasu made Olympic history on Monday when she landed a triple axel, becoming the first American woman to land the difficult trick in the Olympics. Nagasu apparently began working on the trick four years ago after missing the Sochi Olympics, picking it up at an older age for most figure skaters. The hard work paid off as she helped the U.S. secure a bronze medal in the team event. According to Ice Network's Philip Hersh, Nagasu began working with her coach, Tom Zakrajsek, four months after missing the Olympic team.
