Alissa Czisny: Audrey Hepburn on Ice

[Joesitz (RIP)]

that's Breakfast at Tiffany's you are thinking of.

Yes, that's what I thought was being discussed. All her movies are priceless. I really don't see any skater like Audrey.

She had the knack of playing her roles and not selling them. What skater can perform that way. Maybe early Kwan.

This is my favourite Moon River rendition:

Czinsy just skates to the music and does not look even remotely like Audrey Hepburn as Hepburn was demure (petite). A couple of years ago, Josie Chouinard of Canada skated to Moonriver in a pro skate and she really captured the essence of Audrey Hepburn. It was a real tribute to AH.

For example, Alyssa and Emily seemed genuinely happy during and after their skate.

I agree with you about Alyssa - I think she truly enjoys skating, which is why she can get up and smile after a fall. I think she'll always skate, even if it's just recreational.

As for Emily, I think she enjoys competing - there's a sense of attack in her approach and victory when she lands her jumps. However, I feel that she could (and there's nothing wrong with this) move on and leave skating totally behind at some point.
