A “Champion’s Champion”

Elvis Stojko is one of the most decorated athletes in Canadian History. After winning his first senior title in 1994, Elvis has never lost a Canadian Championship, in which he competed. Elvis was named the sole recipient of the 1998 Governor General's Meritorious Service Cross for outstanding service to Canada, in recognition of his extraordinary efforts during the 1998 Olympic Winter Games despite a serious groin injury.

Elvis made the record books in figure skating by:

  • Landing the first quadruple jump in combination (1991 World Championships)
  • Landing the first quadruple combination at the Canadian National Championships (1996)
  • Landing the first quad-triple combination in competition (1997 Champions Series Final)
  • Landing the first quad-triple combination at a World Championships (1997 World Championships).

Elvis had planned to make a return to competitive skating in the 2003/2004 season, but had to reconsider. He will be touring professionally, and assisting young Canadian skaters.
