Photos: World-class performers compete at 'Skate America'
Skate America Figure Skating
FILE - This March 29, 2012 file photo shows Ashley Wagner performing during her women's short program at the 2012 World Figure skating Championships in Nice, southern France. Three years ago, the figure skater was sitting in a hotel room, feeling the sting of finishing one spot short of the Olympics. This weekend she is headlining Skate America as the reigning U.S. champion, the best hope the American women have of ending their embarrassing skid on the international scene.
