U.S. Olympic figure skater Ashley Wagner abruptly stopped skating during her long program at Skate America on Sunday due to an ankle infection.

A three-time U.S. champion, Wagner was skating to music from Moulin Rouge when she stopped, had a word with her coach Rafael Arutunian and then skated over to the referee to explain why she couldn't continue. She was in sixth place after Saturday's short program.
