Alexandria "Zsa Zsa" Riordan-Niechcielska (born in 1990 in New York) is a Polish-American figure skater. She grew up in the southern New Jersey region. Her maternal grandparents were born in Poland and so her mother speaks Polish fluently.
She competed for the USA until the early autumn of 2005. Not placing high enough to qualify for the U.S. Figure Skating Championships or to represent the USA internationally, she decided to compete for Poland, as a member of Unia Dwory skating-club in Oświęcim. She placed 3rd in the junior ladies event at her first Polish Nationals, in December 2005. Due to some ISU restrictions though, she has been not allowed to compete internationally for two years.
In the 2006/2007 season, Riordan started in qualification for the US Nationals at the junior level, but failed. She won bronze at Polish Nationals 2006/2007, though.
