<p>Angela Ruggiero, three time Olympic ice hockey medalist, and figure skater Ashley Wagner have been named to ESPN.com&#8217;s &#8220;One year out: Athletes to watch for 2010&#8243; list, which highlights some of the most promising athletes heading into the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.</p>
<p>Here are some winter athletes who just might pull off some miraculous performances a year from now:</p>
<h3>Angela Ruggiero</h3>
<p>The three-time Olympic hockey player is hoping to end her career on ice better than she did on TV. Ruggiero, who survived 10 weeks of the 13-week taping of &#8220;The Apprentice&#8221; before The Donald told her she was fired, has made up her mind to go for gold one more time in Vancouver. A Harvard graduate, Ruggiero has a gold, a silver and a bronze to her name. It will be tough for the Americans, who likely will face the Canadians on Canadian soil, but the United States won the 2008 World Championship.</p>
