Skating Technique
Unlike most skaters, Czisny spins and jumps clockwise. She is known for her excellent spins. She said, "When I was younger, my sister and I always practiced our spins together. We would spin for hours, seeing who could hold their spin longer and/or who could spin faster. We also tried to come up with as many variations as possible." Of the jumps, Czisny is least confident on the triple salchow, which she did not perform in competition since 2005, but planned to attempt it in the 2011–2012 season.
