Mirai Nagasu Apologizes to Teammates, Explains Dancing with the Stars Remark

American figure skater Mirai Nagasu issued an apology Saturday after she made controversial remarks in the wake of her 10th-place finish in the ladies' singles competition at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

"I feel really, really awful about the things I said," she told People's Adam Carlson. "I feel bad that people think that I was throwing my teammates under the bus because I never wanted to come off that way."

Nagasu, who helped the United States win bronze in the team event, previously made comments that were construed as disparaging toward her American teammates.
