Hello, my name is Mystique Ro, I am a USA Skeleton Athlete and Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympic Hopeful.

I am the top ranked USA Skeleton athlete going into Olympic Year and a potential medal contender.

This has been a journey to get to this level and every year I have only gotten faster, stronger and better. This time last quad I was ranked #7 on the US team (#39 in the world); now I'm ranked #1 on the US team (#11 in the world).

With each year improvements are made and knowledge is gained, but funding is still lacking. What we've come to realize is that success often is linked back to proper and adequate equipment. Athletes on the US team are self-funded and rely on various odd or remote jobs and the support of their community.

Each season costs well over $25,000

With your support would like to target equipment and training expenses. There are pieces of our sled (runners) that cost $700-1,000 per set; one training run down the track costs, on average, 45 euro/trip. These items can add up very quickly, but opting out of investing in these categories, significantly limits my ability to find the best set up for a competitive performance.

I would love to have your support on this journey as the target to qualify fr the Games draws closer. Any and all help is tremendously appreciated.

Thank you for your consideration!
