Interesting to see the French flag next to Aubert's name, even though she's lived in the U.S. so long that I've never picked up an accent* when I've heard her interviewed.  But after looking at her bio, I realized she's had a number of terrific international opportunities as a member of either French junior teams or European junior teams, so it seems like the easy and right call for her to represent the country of her birth.  She's had a pretty darn cool life from what I can tell. 

* EDIT: Apparently this is because she grew up speaking English to her mom, who was a competitive figure skater for the South African national team, while she spoke French with her dad, a French professional skier.  You know, as one does.

The USGA did a nice story on the medalist - http://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-pa...ubert.html
