Personal life edit

Zawadzki's parents, originally from Gdańsk and southern Poland, moved to the United States in the early 1990s and divorced when she was three.[2][3][4] After her father died when she was 10, her mother worked double shifts as a nanny and housekeeper to support her skating.[3][2] She has an older brother, Bart.[5]

Zawadzki attended Cheyenne Mountain High School,[4] graduating in May 2012.[6] She was the recipient of an outstanding academic achievement award signed by President George W.

Her least favorite jump is the triple loop.[11]

After placing fourth at the novice level at the 2008 U.S. Nationals, she decided to contact coach Tom Zakrajsek.[4] She moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado to train with him at the Olympic Training Center.[10]

Ahead of the 2010–11 season, Zawadzki decided not to compete on the Junior Grand Prix circuit but to move directly to the senior level.[15] She finished 6th at her debut event, Skate Canada, and 4th at Cup of Russia. She made her senior national debut at the 2011 U.S. Championships. She placed fourth in both the short and free program to claim the pewter medal.[16][17] She won the bronze medal at the 2011 World Junior Championships.[18][19]

On June 3, 2011, Zawadzki announced a coaching change to David Santee and Christy Krall.[20] She continued to train mainly in Colorado Springs, with Krall assisting with day-to-day coaching and spent about a week each month in Park Ridge with Santee who also traveled regularly to Colorado Springs.[10]

In the 2011–12 season, Zawadzki's Grand Prix events were 2011 NHK Trophy and 2011 Cup of Russia. She won the short program at the 2012 U.S. Championships and placed seventh in the free program.

Zawadzki won another bronze medal at the 2013 U.S. Championships. She then competed at the 2013 Four Continents and finished 8th.

2013–14 season edit
