Carolina Kostner is one of the greatest figure skaters in Italian history. Born in Bolzano on February 8, 1987, she started skating at a very young age, at just four years old. Her career has been filled with success, thanks to her extraordinary elegance and her ability to captivate audiences with her performances.

  • Bronze medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
