She would, of course, be Gomez, but she couldn't look like Gomez, lest viewers be...

But you definitely remember her face on the second-place podium...

Growing up, the 25-year-old split her time between New Jersey and a small town outside of Oslo. Moving every several years was challenging (to say the least); Froseth struggled to adapt to the language shifts and confluence of cultures. Even though she convincingly...
