BIRTHPLACE: PHILADELPHIA

SPORT: FIGURE SKATING

Isabeau Levito can’t resist the thrill

of performance. “One year I had a

sassy program, so I winked at one

of the judges,” says Isabeau, the

2021 U.S. junior champion. “It’s a

really fun part about [skating]. It’s

a personality thing.” Isabeau, who

skates with a balletic flair, won

bronze as the youngest competitor

at the ’22 U.S. Figure Skating

Championships. She wasn’t old

enough to qualify for the Olympics,

but, come 2026, Isabeau doesn’t

want to disappoint her grandma,

who lives near the rink where figure

skating events will be held at the

Milano Cortina Winter Games.
