Starr Andrews (born June 23, 2001) is an American figure skater. She is the 2017 U.S. national junior silver medalist and placed 12th at the 2017 World Junior Championships.

Personal life

Starr Andrews was born on June 23, 2001, in Los Angeles, California.[1] She is home-schooled.[2] She has a brother and two sisters — Skylar, a gymnast, and Ashton, a baseball player.[3][4] Their mother, Toshawa Andrews, has cardiac microvascular disease, which has led to a dozen heart attacks.[4][5]

Career

Early years

Andrews became interested in figure skating after her mother brought her along to the ice rink when she was three years old. She recalled in 2018: "I wanted to get on the ice really, really bad but I was too small, so I had to wait."[6] She began learning to skate in 2005.[1] A video of nine-year-old Andrews skating to Whip My Hair went viral after appearing on Youtube in December 2010.[7] By March 2018, it had reached 53 million views.[4]

Derrick Delmore became her coach around 2013.[8] Andrews placed 6th on the novice level at the 2016 U.S. Championships.

2016–2017 season

Andrews decided to move up to the junior level, coached by Delmore and Peter Kongkasem in Lakewood, California and Riverside, California.[9] Making her international debut, she won the junior ladies' title at the Golden Bear of Zagreb in October 2016.

In January, she received the junior silver medal at the 2017 U.S. Championships.[10] After Amber Glenn withdrew, Andrews was added to the U.S. team to the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei, Taiwan.[11] At the event, held in March, she qualified to the final segment by placing 9th in the short program and went on to finish 12th overall.

2017–2018 season

Andrews began her season on the junior level, placing fifth at the ISU Junior Grand Prix in Austria. In December, making her senior international debut, she placed 6th at the 2017 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, where she also obtained the minimum technical scores for both senior-level ISU Championships.

In January, Andrews finished 6th in the senior ladies' category at the 2018 U.S. Championships, having placed 8th in the short program and 5th in the free skate. She was assigned to the 2018 Four Continents, where she placed 7th, and the 2018 World Junior Championships, from which she withdrew. She was replaced by Emmy Ma.

2018–2019 season

In early August, Andrews competed at the 2018 CS Asian Open Figure Skating Trophy; she placed second in the short program with a personal best score but dropped to fifth after the free skate. In September, at the 2018 CS Autumn Classic International, she ranked fifth in the short and seventh overall. In the free program she attempted the triple Axel but her jump had a two-footed landing and was downgraded due to insufficient rotation. She made her Grand Prix debut in October, at the 2018 Skate America. She was also invited to the 2018 Skate Canada International.[8]
