Never heard of her, but I guess she was a skater in her time?

Tonia Kwiatkowski is on the far right and is our commentator on the world feed

She was the Pewter medalist.
Also: She is a two-time Winter Universiade champion, a winner of two silver medals on the Champions Series, and the 1996 U.S. National silver medalist. She finished in the top ten at two World Championships and competed in 13 U.S. Championships.

Also re: KnC

Aurora Borealis?!

At this time of year...

Yes .. the time is right...but not the location. Never ever it is possible to see them in montreal... Way too much light

Strong start with the triple lutz triple toe, maybe not fully rotated. A pity with a fall on the flip. I like how soft Vanessa jumps looks, adds to the quality. Lovely dress, lovely movements, a really interesting skater for the future for sure.

Despite the flip fall, her TES doesn´t look so bad.

Vanesa. I love her dress and this program. Good skate.

 

[EdgeCall]

Golden Hour in the instrumental version is a very nice piece and Vanesa has the elegant moves to properly express it. Pity about the botched start.

 

[Sabsi]

Despite the fall a beautiful skate from Vanesa.

Vanesa tried her hardest content, but underrotations were clear...
Also Hagara's type of ugly spins
But proud of her

She skated in the '90s for the US, and made the world team

Heh I was thinking of The Simpsons quote, but that's interesting about the time!

Ooh did she get bronze? Or pewter?

I do like the giant maple leaf in the KnC!

Nice skate from Vanesa. I hadn't really noticed her before this year's Four Nationals, but really liked what I saw there. Yes, she fell on the flip and probably won't qualify, but she is a lovely skater with a lot of potential.

Vanessa that I also likely watched for the first time went for an ambitious content but it was not the skate she wanted given the fall. She seemed to enjoy herself and I liked her music, I've never listened to this song before I think. She's a lovely skater indeed.

Vanesa's makeup is very well-applied and gorgeous, hair did, nice dress. Love her packaging.

Great fluidity to her skate and enjoyed her very much.

Pewter

Putin?

Whatever you spell it, it will be out of my bowels tomorrow morning

Love the camera man filming the judging panel to put pressure on them delivering the scores

I keep mentally picturing her in a black catsuit outfit. Maybe from an expo? Thanks for the memories.

Vanessa's dress is lovely
