I don't know if this should go into spoiler or not! This is from "The Evening Telegram" Weekend Edition, St John's, Newfoundland. If this has to be moved, please move it. Thanks.
ALissa Czisny is making headlines early in the Grand Prix firure skating season. Alissa who?
Crisny who was all but ignored in finishing seventh at the U.S. nationals last winter,----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This shocker comes a week after the 18m year old American came out of nowhere to win silver at Skate America in Atlantic City, N.J. after getting in as a substitute.
Crisny scored 58.54 points form her short program, former world bronze medallist with 52.12 and Canadian champion Joannie Rochette was third with 50.68.
"It's better than what I did at Skate America and a personal best for me" said Crisny.
She scored high in spins, spirals and footwork and com[leted all the required jumps cleanly.
Crisny almost didn't make it to St>john's.
She went home to Ohio from Atlantic City on Monday and travelled to Detriot Tuesday for a practice and flight was cancelled.
A missed connection Wednesday stranded her in New York hotel overnight. She practised in New Jersey on Thursday and finally arived in St. john's at midnight.
I'm tired, but I'm used to skating tired so I just tried to go out there thinking about my jumps," she said.
