Deanna Stellato-Dudek, 39, battling viral infection as she chases first Canadian figure skating title
Deanna Stellato-Dudek hopes to capture her first Canadian figure skating title – at the age of 39, and more than 20 years after she initially retired from the sport.“It’s not going away. I don’t know what’s wrong but I’ve never been sick for this long in my life before,” Stellato-Dudek said. “[But] we kind of said if we want this bad enough, we’ll find a way.”
Her throat is swollen so she can’t inhale through her mouth. She’s been practising breathing exercises, to be able to get through the four-minute long program breathing through her nose. A team-building exercise at a business retreat 16 years later started her wondering if she’d retired too soon. Mitch Moyer, the high-performance director for U.S. Figure Skating, said if she was considering a comeback, she should try pairs.“Max … has an engineer brain, so he’s very technical. I always defer to him on elements and things like that, if something’s maybe a little bit off,” Stellato-Dudek said. “But then musicality and interpretation is more my strength.
