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.

is intent on becoming the first woman in the United States,
and perhaps the world, to perform a triple axel in competition.
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.

for her by Lee Leslie, portrayed a bird emerging from it's nest and
succumbing to the dangers in the outside world. It was a striking performance.
