Alissa Czisny won the U.S. national championship in 2009 and 2011. I discussed with Alissa the difference between skating to compete and skating to entertain, as well as grappling with identity in athletics.
Alissa recently performed a piece she choreographed to "Chasing Cars" by Fleurie and Tommee Profitt at the Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer fundraiser in Bellevue. It is a simple, but beautiful artistic skate, and I highly recommend giving it a watch.
Please enjoy the fifty-fifth installment in a "glimpse into a life series" highlighting figure skater, Alissa Czisny. Thank you, Alissa, for sharing your figure skating journey with me!
