Uschi Keszler

Ursula "Uschi" Keszler[1] (born August 13, 1948) is a figure skating coach and choreographer and a former competitor for West Germany.

Uschi Keszler qualified to represent the United Team of Germany at the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck and finished 24th.

In April 1966, it was reported that Keszler and a fellow single skater, Ralph Borghard, had trained together to compete in pairs.

Keszler is known primarily for her work with Canadian skaters Brian Orser, Elvis Stojko, and Shae-Lynn Bourne / Victor Kraatz.

Keszler invented the term "hydroblading" to refer to skating on deep edges low to the ice, and using it as a training technique.
