Personal life

Stephanie Kalesavich was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States. [1] She married Michael Buono in around 2005 and has three daughters, Gabriella, Aria and Liliana. [2]

Career

Kalesavich began skating at age eight. [1] In 1997, she won a U.S. national title on the novice level with Amaan Archer. The pair competed at one ISU Junior Grand Prix event, in the autumn of 1998.

Coaches at the Detroit Skating Club paired Kalesavich with Aaron Parchem in March 1999. [1] [3] The pair won the junior title at the 2000 U.S. Championships with all first-place ordinals in the free skate. [4]

In 2001, Kalesavich/Parchem began competing internationally and won a pewter medal at the 2001 U.S. Championships. [5] The following year, the pair placed second after the short program, [6] but were narrowly edged out for the silver by Scott/Dulebohn after the free skate. As bronze medalists, Kalesavich/Parchem were named the first Olympic alternates in that year. [7] Their partnership ended just after the 2003 U.S. Championships.

Kalesavich coaches young skaters of all levels at the Onyx-Suburban Skating Academy in Rochester and Macomb Township, Michigan. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Figure skating in the United States</span> Sport history and governance in the U.S.

Figure Skating is a sport in which individuals, pairs, or groups perform on figure skates on ice. Although ice skating began in 3,000 BCE in Scandinavia, American Edward Bushnell's 1855 invention of steel blades and Jackson Haines bringing elements of ballet to figure skating were critical to the development of modern-day figure skating. Since then, figure skating in the United States has grown to have 186,038 members as of the 2020–2021 season.
