Deanna Stellato-Dudek[1] (born June 22, 1983) is an American figure skater. As a single skater, she is the 2001 World Junior silver medalist and 2000 Junior Grand Prix Final champion.

Personal life

Stellato was born June 22, 1983 in Park Ridge, Illinois.[2] She is a licensed aesthetician and permanent cosmetic professional.[3] She has worked as the director of aesthetics at the Geldner Center in Chicago.[4]

Career

In the 1999–2000 season, Stellato won the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final and went on to win the silver medal at the 2000 World Junior Championships. A member of Wagon Wheel FSC, she was coached by Cindy Watson-Caprel and Philip Mills in Northbrook and Buffalo Grove, Illinois.[5][2]

Stellato began the following season at a U.S.-only team event, the 2000 Keri Lotion Classic, where she was partnered with Michael Weiss.[6] She received a 6.0 for presentation.[3] Making her senior international debut, she won silver at the 2000 Karl Schäfer Memorial in October. In November, she finished fifth at a Grand Prix event, the 2000 Skate Canada International, where she injured her right hip before the free skate.[7][3] After returning to training two weeks later, Stellato sustained a pulled hip flexor in the same hip, which led to her withdrawal from the 2001 U.S. Championships.[7] Due to persistent pain in her hip,[3] she did not return to competition. Earlier injuries in her career included a torn ligament in her right ankle and a fractured left ankle.[3]

In July 2016, Stellato and Nathan Bartholomay announced that they had teamed up to compete in pair skating, training at the Ellenton Ice and Sports Complex in Florida.[8]
