Within three months, Stellato-Dudek was once again landing every triple jump. And while Stellato-Dudek got back on the ice for herself, she told herself this time, she wouldn't say no to anything offered to her.
CHICAGO â At 16 years old, Deanna Stellato-Dudek was the best junior skater in the world, but despite a devastating injury that doctors warned would recur, she never fully forgot her Olympic dream. 'I had a lot of good standings in the junior division. The next year is when I was going to move up and go into the senior division,' Stellato-Dudek said.
I love being lifted. I love being thrown. I felt like it was always something I was meant to do, and I was asked when I was younger, but I always said no, so it's kind of funny how things come full circle, and that's what I'm doing now,' she said.Things came full circle again when, this March, at the age of 40, Stellato-Dudek found herself atop the podium.
