Just the week before, the 22-year-old Olympian was in New York City after her return from the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and stopped by Bethenny where she discussed her now imfamous reaction to her short skate in the Team event and more. “I was a bit surprised [about the scores],” Ashley admitted. “I mean the last thing I want to come off as is sour grapes cause you know what? I was so stoked about that performance and I thought I kicked ass, I was beyond excited about it and then I got the scores that I wasn’t exactly thrilled about but you know what? At the end of the day I’m coming home with a medal so I can’t complain.” Ashley added about the controversy surrounding the scoring system: “I’m not saying I should have won, it’s not fair, I’m not throwing a hissy fit; I’m saying you know what, we have a system that is really not all that clear to people who are watching, it’s not all that clear to the athletes. I want to be able to improve upon my performances and if I don’t have a system in which I can look at a sheet and say ‘Ok, that’s where I lost points there’ and ‘that’s where I lost points there’, then how am I supposed to get any better if I see that girls are tumbling in front of me and ending up above me, it’s confusing and I want to be able to push this sport forward.” @bethenny Clearly, one of us has mastered the stink face @ashwagner2010. #olympics #sochi

U.S. Olympic figure skater Ashley Wagner paid a visit to the children and faculty of Arlington Science Focus Elementary School this afternoon to campaign against underage drinking. Wagner, sporting the bronze medal she won this year as part of the U.S. figure skating team, told the hundreds who gathered in the school’s gymnasium that after she started training to become a figure skater when she was 5 years old, she vowed to do whatever it took to get to the Olympics. “When you’re an athlete, your body is a machine,” she said. “You want the ultimate machine, so you want to take care of it. So I made a lot of important decisions. I ate my fruits and veggies, I drank a lot of water and, when the time came, I said no to underage drinking.” After the crowd of kids answered questions on the basic facts of underage drinking, they got a chance to ask questions of their own. One student asked how old the 22-year-old is –”someone should teach you not to ask a lady that,” she gamely replied before answering question — and another asked how much her medal weighed, which led to Wagner giving the little boy her medal to hold. “This medal stays in a sock,” she said when asked where she keeps her hardware from Sochi, Russia. “I should probably find a better place for it.” In addition to students and faculty, attendees at the event included state Sen. Barbara Favola, Del. Patrick Hope and Ralph Blackman, president and CEO of the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibly.
