I'm from the USA but we always root for Elvis. Everything they just said about him was 100% right on. I have said those very same words myself sbout his King of the skating world. I have a copy of a letter I wrote to him when I was raising my boys. He was everything I hoped they would be. We all grew to love him like family. There were no borders; we took him as our own and still love and respect him so deeply. He had the courage of his convictions. Was man enough to pay the price for opening up new vistas for the super conservative rules of figure skating. Never a temper tantrum when he got gypped in the marks, always, always a gentleman, and that gorgeous huge smile melts my 75 yr old heart to this day. Mr. & Mrs Stojko you raised a very fine man. When I'm feeling a little downhearted I put on one of his performances and I smile all day. God bless you, dear Elvis. I hope you have received all of the joy you gave to all of us over the years. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

He's an answer to my hearts prayer. Loved this program I hope this is a loud and clear message to those crooked judges. You truly are a diamond, Elvis. YOUR My role model. After coming off a abuse situation at the first barn I rode at, I didn't think getting back on was even possible. I rode at my second barn for nine years, even in the midst of dealing with the trauma of what happened, fear, not knowing if I could even trust a coach again, god used you to teach me how to believe, how to fight, because of you I passed two of my basic entry level dressage tests. In the fall I'm going to try and make a comeback, my injury is feeling okay, so its time. You know Elvis as a person with disabilities people told me I would never be able to do anything, again YOU TAUGHT me how to fight, to believe in my dream. Well Elvis I'm five semesters in and about to finish up, h maintaining my grades.
