Chrisha Leann Gossard — the first Thai figure skater to compete at the international level and an experienced coach — has returned once again to Harbin. This time, she is taking part in the CAIC–OCA–ISU Youth Figure Skating Camp. Having many years of competitive experience and coaching in various countries, she helps young athletes refine their skills, build confidence, and move on the ice with grace.
“As a figure skater, I believe it is essential to focus on the fundamentals, perfecting even the most basic elements — this creates a strong foundation for growth. At a higher level, it then becomes much easier to unlock one’s full potential. For me, the details matter: posture, flexibility, aesthetics, and precision of execution,” says Crisha.
Her return to Harbin is especially meaningful: at the age of 16, she made her international debut here. Now, on that very same ice, she is passing on her knowledge to a new generation of Asian figure skaters, continuing the traditions that once shaped her own career.
