Iowa’s youngest gold medalist on the ice

Avey Collins, just 10 years old, is now the youngest Iowan ever to pass the U.S. Figure Skating Gold Skills Test—a milestone that’s never been reached at her age in the state. Her early-morning practices, cross-state drives, and comeback from a tough ankle injury show just how much grit and community support it takes to chase big dreams. It’s not just about medals; it’s about the friendships and teamwork built at the rink. How do you think youth sports shape our kids and communities? Let’s talk about the dedication behind the scenes! #Sports #IowaProud #FigureSkating
