Ross Miner

Ross Miner (born January 24, 1991) is an American skating coach and retired competitive figure skater.

In 2021, Miner was suspended from coaching for six months by the United States Center for SafeSport, for sexual harassment.

[4] He had to relearn much from scratch as his jump technique was extremely poor at the beginning – underrotating even single Axels; nevertheless, Mark Mitchell and Peter Johansson agreed to coach him.

Following the U.S. Championships, Miner was assigned to the 2008 Gardena Spring Trophy, where he won the silver medal on the Junior level.

At Nationals, Miner won the short program[5] and placed second in the free skate to win the gold medal overall.

He had qualified to compete at the senior level at the 2010 U.S. Nationals but suffered a high ankle sprain while practicing a triple Axel.

He was eighth at his lone Grand Prix assignment, the 2014 NHK Trophy, and finished sixth at the 2015 U.S. Championships.

On the Grand Prix, Miner was seventh at Skate America before winning the bronze medal with personal best scores at the 2015 Rostelecom Cup.

Miner was sixth at the 2016 U.S. Classic, before finishing twelfth at the 2016 Skate Canada International and ninth at the 2016 Cup of China.

This selection process was controversial, and Miner's coach Mark Mitchell criticized the US Federation publicly.

In 2021, Miner was suspended from coaching for six months by the United States Center for SafeSport for sexual harassment.
