| Athlete
of the month: Tanja Romano - Italia |
2003/04
World Champion: Tanja Romano of Italy. To date this year,
Romano has had a very impressive resume with a win at both the
German Cup and Italian championships. Tanja's impressive
jumping leaves people breathless. She can clean perfectly
triple flip, lutz, salchow and toe loop with spectacular
height. Her artistry is beautiful and her long program in
Wuppertal to Vivaldi's, Four Seasons, was magical. Tanja was
ranked 2nd in 1999 at the Junior World Championships with 2002
marking her impressive return to the main stage. She is a true
athlete with the mind and body of Olympic Gold.
Tanja is our 'Athlete of the Month'
title.. Salute!! |

Romano, world champion in 2004, has
taken to the world of fashion and hit the catwalk in extrodinary
style at the latest parade for celebrated Lebanese designer, Abed
Mahfouz. Romano, and fellow world champion, D'Alisera,
are the first to appear in a collection
of HAUTE COUTURE (see above left), and Mahfouz's
January 2005 collection is amazing. Romano starred in the show with
her "model figure and breathtakingly long legs, flowing
blond hair, and blue eyes" and could perhaps take the modeling
world by storm.

| What
does Tanja like about the sport? "I like the training
and competition, I love it all. I like to feel the emotion
during a performance and the translation to the audience. I
like to feel the strength of being an athlete". |
| Influences?
"I feel very inspired by the Italian skiier, Deborah
Compagnoni. She is elite in every way, her character & personality
is very strong and I admire that very much. She is also
Olympic Champion and the best". |
| Your
favourite competition? "Wuppertal - 2002 is very
important for me because it is the first time I have been
selected to compete in the Senior level. It has been a long
time since my first world championships and I am very happy to
compete in 2002". |
