In the next episode of Meet Team USA Figure Skating (Frozen Waters), a special mini-series from Unfiltered Waters, Katie sits down with Isabeau Levito, 2024 World silver medalist and 2023 U.S. National champion, for a candid conversation about expectations, confidence, and staying true to herself on the road to the Olympics. Isabeau reflects on the pressure of being “one of the expected spots,” the difference between skating because you get to versus because you have to, and how learning to sit with expectations has shaped her growth. She opens up about not giving up on hard days, building a strong ballet foundation, and why being a “fighter” matters more than perfection. Playful, self-aware, and unapologetically authentic—yes, her word is “diva”—this conversation closes out Frozen Waters as a deeper look at the journeys, identities, and inner lives of Team USA figure skaters on the road to the Games.
