It really was heartbreaking watching USA 2011 National Champion Alissa Czisny meltdown during the 2012 season after the comparatively fabulous season prior (her best to date). She's a beautiful skater, perhaps America's answer to Finland's Kira Korpii, and when in good shape, I think she's got the whole package. She's an amalgamation of the best things Wagner and Gold are made off and unfortunately, a serious hip and foot injury had cost her a whole season in the run up to the 2014 Winter Olympics. Now, after spending time rehabilitating and getting back in synch to prepare for the Olympic season, she opens up to TheSkatingLesson's Jenny Kirk (former World Junior and Four Continents Champion) on recovery, refocusing and the future. I can't help but admire her resilience when I watched this interview, as if I couldn't love her even more. With a new long program to Gone With The Wind, here's hoping she can be fierce on the ice when she comes back in full force. Be fierce baby, Scarlett O'Hara fierce!
