SKATING MAGAZINE CHAMPIONS OF THE 80'S
"Rosanna Tovi's dynamic freeskating suggests she will be winning her share of championships very soon. Despite the disadvantage of skating in the first group, she placed second in the free, landing an amazing fifteen jumps in her three minute program. Rosanna is a worthy successor to another jumping wonder from the east-Elaine Zayak."

The best of the best is Rosanna Tovi. "She's quite unique in her aproach, she likes to be original in her music and choreography" Stone said. She has an excellent background in classical dance and that's helped her develop her routines on the ice. She skates a beautiful line with an effortless style.

In 1983 Tovi finished third in Nationals as a junior lady and became the first American junior to win a senior international competition when she took the Asko Cup in Vienna.
