Audrey Sumin Shin (born March 12, 2004) is an American figure skater who currently competes in the pairs discipline with Balázs Nagy.
[4] Shin began the season with a silver medal at the 2019 Philadelphia Summer international at the junior level and was assigned to JGP Russia, where she placed 12th.
[3] She failed to qualify for the 2020 U.S. Championships due to a sixth-place finish at the Eastern Sectional Final and coupled with her rough start to the season, considered quitting the sport.
[4] Shin was later assigned to compete at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne, Switzerland, where she placed seventh.
After skating without errors on her jumping passes, Shin won a medal in her senior international debut by finishing in third place behind Mariah Bell and Bradie Tennell.
Shin stated that she was working on both a triple Axel and quadruple toe loop with her coach, Tammy Gambill.
[9] Ninth in the short program at the 2022 U.S. Championships, Shin rose to sixth overall with a fifth-place free skate, despite several underrotated jumps.
After feedback from judges at the event, she replaced her initial Tosca free skate with a modified version of her prior Michael W. Smith short program.
[14] At her second event, the 2022 NHK Trophy, Shin finished fourth in the short program, less than three points back of third-place Rion Sumiyoshi.
A fan of the music of Adele, her team selected "Skyfall" as a starting point and built a James Bond-themed program around it.
[17] Following a disappointing ninth-place finish at the 2024 U.S. Championships, Shin began looking into the idea of switching to pair skating, a discipline that she had always enjoyed.
They announced that they would primarily train in Oakville, Ontario, Canada under coaches, Bruno Marcotte and Andrew Evans, while also making trips to Colorado to work with Tammy Gambill.
