Amanda Velenosi (born June 16, 1992) is a Canadian former pair skater. With her partner Mark Fernandez, she became the 2007 Canadian national junior silver medalist and placed as high as 6th at the World Junior Championships (2007).

Career[edit]

Velenosi teamed up with Fernandez in 2006.[1] They won a bronze medal on the 2006 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit in Oslo, Norway. The pair won silver on the junior level at the 2007 Canadian Championships and were subsequently assigned to the 2007 World Junior Championships where they emerged 6th.

In the 2007–08 season, Velenosi / Fernandez won silver at their JGP event in Tallinn, Estonia and placed 5th in Sheffield. The pair qualified for the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final where they were initially placed 5th. They later moved up a spot to fourth as a result of the retroactive disqualification of gold medalists Vera Bazarova / Yuri Larionov due to a positive doping sample from Larionov. Velenosi / Fernandez were placed 10th on the senior level at the 2008 Canadian Championships. She also competed in the junior ladies' event, winning the bronze medal. The pair finished 9th at the 2008 World Junior Championships.

In 2008–09, Velenosi / Fernandez were placed 5th and 9th in their two JGP events. They were also assigned to one senior Grand Prix event, the 2008 Cup of Russia, where they finished 7th. The pair ended their career after emerging 10th at the 2009 Canadian Championships.
