Hungarian Julia Sebestyen always seemed to be on the verge of success -- skating in the final group of competitors in the 2002 Winter Olympic Games and finishing eighth overall, placing sixth at the European Championships three times -- but it wasn't until last season that she reached the top level of the sport.  She won the European title, qualified for the Grand Prix Final, and placed sixth at the World Championships.  Expect even bigger and brighter things in the future from this natural jumper.
