The Skater In Sun Trust Commercial

The little girl skater (holding the teddy bear) in the Sun Trust commercial shown on NBCSC looks a lot like Elise Freezer. I wonder if it is her?

Yes!

I'm glad to see Elise is back on the ice and skating -- she had to withdraw from Regionals this past October due to injury (from the end of the Gazette article: "She broke a knee while training last September and had to take an eight-week hiatus to recover.").

I hope we get to see her competing in a future Olympics.

First a return trip to Nationals in the near future would be nice.

ETA #2 - Elise is also mentioned in this article posted in GSD: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...es-to-become-an-olympic-figure-skater.103304/
She recently worked with Ravia Walia for 3 weeks in Edmonton, Canada, and plans to return there to train after the Olympics.

That's adorable! It matches Elise's skating personality so perfectly! @TinamiAmori will like it.

Ah! I was wondering if that was her. It's such a cute ad!

It's so Blades of Glory with a pinch of Yulia Lipnitskaya thrown in.

I wish her well in her future. Hope she gets past the injuries. The world can always use some more cuteness.

When was she born? If she succeeds and makes it to the big leagues, would she be age eligible for 2022, or does she miss out due to late birth date for competitive year? I just want to tuck her name in the back of my memory to see if she makes it.

@BaileyCatts She's 11 right now, so I don't think she'd be age eligible for 2022. Depends on the birth date.
