Mia Manganello

Personal

At the age of eight, Mia started inline skating, but she switched over to the ice just five years later in order to chase her Olympic dream. Following the 2010 Olympic Trials, Mia chose to take a break from speed skating and found a new passion for cycling where she raced professionally for five years before returning to speed skating in early 2016. As a returning athlete, she wants to cherish every moment and live her life by the following words: "If you can't stop thinking about it, don't stop working for it.” Both of Mia’s parents, Karen and Dominic, have owned an Italian restaurant her entire life. To quote Mia, “There is nothing better than growing up in a kitchen. The lessons and responsibilities you learn are irreplaceable with the greatest reward being the amount of pizza you get to eat.”
