Mia Manganello grew up in Crestview, Fla. Her parents, Dominic and Karen, owned an Italian restaurant named after her. Manganello started inline skating at age eight, and five years later, after the Salt Lake City Games, she attended a speedskating camp in Utah and decided to switch to the ice. Her family packed an RV and moved to Utah for training.
After competing in two U.S. Olympic trials in speedskating and not making the Olympic team for the Olympic Winter Games Vancouver 2010, Manganello became a professional cyclist for the next five years. She made a return to speedskating in 2016 after a six-year absence and made her first Olympic team for the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018. At the PyeongChang Games, Manganello won her first Olympic medal, a bronze medal, in the women’s team pursuit.
With a renewed focus on the mass start, an event which made its Olympic debut at the PyeongChang Games, Manganello finished a career-best fourth at the 2023 ISU World Championships, reduplicating her fourth-place result from the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, while also winning bronze in the team pursuit. In November 2025, Manganello won her first-ever ISU World Cup mass start race on her home ice in Salt Lake City.
When she is off the ice, she enjoys playing with her dog, game nights with friends and drinking margaritas.
