Before winning the bronze, Olympian Mirai Nagasu was an ice girl for the Colorado Avalanche

None of the current Colorado Avalanche players are participating in the Winter Olympics, but one former member of the organization made history in PyeongChong.

Mirai Nagasu helped the U.S. win a bronze medal in the figure skating team event on Monday. Nagasu was an ice girl for the Avs during the 2015-16 season.

Nagasu, 24, became the just the third American woman to land a triple axel in competition — and the first to do so in the Olympics.

“It’s historical and something no one can take away from me,” Nagasu said to The Associated Press.
