Alissa Czisny

What I find compelling about Alissa Czisny is the resilience underneath the elegance. She had a reputation as one of the most graceful skaters of her era, all line and spin position, yet she battled inconsistency that nearly buried her career before two U.S. national titles in 2009 and 2011, plus a 2010 Grand Prix Final crown. That arc, from being written off to standing back on top, is the part I respect most. The fact that she kept competing in pro events into 2021 tells me the love of the ice never really left her. A career of fragility and grit in equal measure.
