Kurt Browning & Elvis Stojko in Conversation

Canadian figure skating legends Kurt Browning and Elvis Stojko sat down for a long chat looking back at their careers, from the first time they met, through their great rivalry of the early 90’s, to touring together in Stars on Ice today. They answered questions from their fans, shared anecdotes and memories, reflected on their very different approaches to their sport, and learned new things about each other in the process. Come join them for laughs, memories, and some very thoughtful life advice. Then go see them perform live in the Stars on Ice Canada tour, kicking off today (April 29, 2022) in Halifax, NS, and traveling across Canada through the month of May!

Do you two even fathom the scope & amplitude of influence & inspiration you've had on fans & young skaters? Thanks for sharing your stories, your immense talent, & inspiring kids to be the best version of themselves they can be....but most of all, thanks for the memories!⛸💕

Kurt, you hand slapped my little girl last night! She went absolutely crazy! You all put on one hell of a show!! 👏 👏 👏

[@tabithasabella8165]

I wish I could hug the both of you.

[@FrozenRose816]

This was fantastic! Love hearing about their approach to skating and how it differs from competing to professional life. It's also so interesting that they know each other better now than when they were directly competing against each other. I also loved the format of this, super casual like eavesdropping on two friends hanging out. So great 💙

[@tabithasabella8165]

I'm so glad that two of my favorite guys put this video together. Love you love you love you both.

Decided last year as soon as it was announced, that I’d take my kids and grandkids to show in Toronto……with good seats (row9 was fabulous)…..but I thought, I just had to see Kurt live in my life time….it was so good, and never thought I’d get to see Elvis too! Wonderful wonderful time. THANK YOU!

[@AmyMeyer072708]

Love, love, love this! It was fun listening to you both and all your memories. I was a kid in that golden "rock star" era of figure skating and I always really admired you both!

[@SoldierHawke]

This is such a fantastic interview. What wonderful fonts of knowledge and perspective these two are. Thank you so much for bringing them together and sharing this with us!

[@thomthom6268]

Best Ted Talk ever. As an American, I remember routing for Elvis, even more than for my own team. He always had that attractive aura of being competitive. Also, what I liked about the old scoring, was that included entertainment. Someone could do 5 quads, which is great. Today's world is essentially just a jumping competition. You may be able to go from 7th to 1st, but it's boring as Hell. And that's why Figure Skating is no longer in the spotlight.

What a terrific conversation between two of my favorite Canadian men's skaters!

[@willpinkow9714]

Kurt, I was room mates w/ your cousin in a suburb just outside of Denver the summer of 2016. We talked a lot of skating!!! 🥰

[@gretahorton1045]

A great conversation between Kurt Browning and Elvis Stoyko answering skating questions! I learned a lot about their personalities and how they developed figure skating strategies. Thank you Kurt and Elvis! This conversation was in 2022.

[@gretahorton1045]

Elvis and Kurt are two fantastic Canadian skating personalities who are able to share their knowledge with others. Look forward to their duo skate in Stars on Ice! :)

[@Myster1029]

Love listening to the conversation - miss seeing either of you with Stars in the States. I remember the last time Kurt was in Grand Rapids with Stars...was a highlight of my skating show experience.

There's something kinda soothing about Kurt absently stroking Rocky.

[@laurastolz2834]

Watching Elvis stroking Rocky made me wish I was Rocky! Ooh La La! 🔥❤

[@ms.rlsteele351]

Wonderful! The "do what you like to do" and challenge yourself to get better by identifying the part that didn't work the way you wanted it to, is a concept that has become more prominent in coaching young athletes over the years. Imo. Clearly, you both modeled that concept for others for inspiration.

[@emilystemp1254]

that was a amazing to see them Both

[@teresachadwick2486]

Had a nice encounter with Kurt when he was rollerblading at a park in Norfolk Virginia.

Hi, Teresa- we met at adult competitions years ago. Are you still skating? -Judy in NC

[@teresachadwick2486]

@@livetoskatefigureskating4238 Hi Judy! Great to hear from you. I stopped skating, but now swim. Have my first Masters swimming meet in 2 1/2 years next month.

[@livetoskatefigureskating4238]

@@teresachadwick2486 wow, swimming is a great sport too & better for our knees. Good luck at your competition!

[@shessobrauny4753]

Wow! I'm so happy to stumble on this. What a memorable time for me in my life watching these two and how cool to listen to them chat about it brings me back. Love you both!

Rocky is adorable. So cute!

Loved the picture of Dillon and Gabe on the dock. Great advice from some of the masters.

[@yolakin8210]

Thank you. Inspirational talk.💫

[@livetoskatefigureskating4238]

Love this interview. Where does the time go? I remember watching Elvis's world championship program repeatedly on VHS. This is amazing and inspiring how they are both still in shape, skating & being friends. Thanks for this detailed interview.

[@BrigitteLaskowski]

Would you two consider competing at the ISU Adult Invitational in Ottawa in September 2022 in Elite Masters Senior Men's ? No quads or 3 Axels allowed.

[@tabithasabella7129]

Hey elvis and Kurt, um next Friday I'll be celebrating my 41st birthday, could you, would you be willing to put together a never seen video just for me. Thanks

[@Royelsworth]

there was a american Boy who landed a quad axle

[@Warren_Flatt]

Love this video. Elvis flexing on his quad flips, sal, lutz, and loops! what a boss!

[@Warren_Flatt]
