Emmy Putzinger (born February 8, 1921 ; † 2001 , sometimes incorrectly Emmy Puzinger ) was an Austrian figure skater who started in a single run .

Puzinger (in some sources incorrectly Putzinger) was Austrian champion in figure skating for women from 1936 to 1939. She took part in four European championships from 1935 to 1939 . At the European Championships in 1937 and 1938 , she won the bronze medal behind the Britons Cecilia Colledge and Megan Taylor . From 1936 to 1939 she took part in world championships . Her best result was fourth place at the 1936 World Cup in Paris . At the 1936 Olympic Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , she finished seventh.

Emmy Puzinger was a member of the Karl-Schäfer-Eisrevue and doubled Olly Holzmann in the more difficult ice-cream scenes in the feature film ' The White Dream ' from 1943. She was also from the birth of the Wiener Eisrevue (the one immediately after the Second World War from the Karl-Schäfer-Eisrevue) until it was sold to Holiday On Ice in 1971, one of the company's biggest stars. As a figure skater, she appeared in many post-war revue films , for example in Spring on the Ice and Traumrevue . With her congenial partner, the Belgian Fernand Leemans , she and Eva Pawlik / Rudi Seeliger formed a royal couple of slingshot figures. These are those acrobatic feats in which the lady is grabbed by her partner by the foot and whirled through the air in a circle, so that at one point the head barely misses the impact on the ice.
