(In photo: the lovely and talented Caryn Kadvay, right, with 2 other skating beauties, Elena Berezhnaya, left, and Kyoko Ina, center.) In any given skating show, Caryn Kadavy, a native of Erie Pennsylvania, is a sure-bet for a strong, beautiful performance. She's a polished, professional, and expressive as they come. Caryn, a 4-time U.S. national medalist between 1985-1988 (three bronze and one silver), and the 1987 World Championship bronze medalist, qualified for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. Caryn skated very well in the short program, finishing sixth and qualifying for the prestigious final group of skaters in the freeskate. Unfortunately, an illness caused her to withdraw from the event.
Caryn was coached by the legendary Carlo Fassi, who coached Peggy Fleming and Dorothy Hamill to Olympic gold medals. Prior to Fassi, Caryn worked with another legend in the sport, the always inventive Toller Cranston of Canada. The influence of these skating luminaries, along with Caryn's natural talent and years of professional skating has caused her to blossom into quite an amazing performer. Her skating is a pleasure to behold.
To boost your spirits mid-week, here's a classic Caryn performance to "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" by Celine Dion.
Enjoy!
