U.S. Figure Skating launched its “Get Up” campaign during Progres- sive Skate America in late October, with 1984 Olympic champion Scott Hamilton appearing on the “Today” show to promote the movement. Several members of Team USA provide their “Get Up” moment or “Get Up” philosophy in this issue, including those on the cover (top row, l-r) Jason Brown, Ashley Wag- ner, Max Aaron; (bottom row, l-r) Madison Chock, Adam Rippon and Gracie Gold.
