	Elvis Stojko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elvis Stojko M.S.C., M.S.M. (born March 22, 1972 in Newmarket, Ontario) is a Canadian figure skating world champion.
		Stojko's parents immigrated to Canada from Italy in the '50s, his mother FRANCESCA came on a boat in 1955 and his Hungarian-born mother, Frank, escaped through the Russian Invasion in 1956.
		Stojko had suffered a groin injury and he was also recovering the flu that had struck many other athletes during the games.

	Stojko, Elvis
		Stojko began skating at an early age, and when not yet 18 made an impressive Seniors debut, finishing 2nd to reigning world champion Kurt BROWNING at the Canadian championships in 1990.
		Stojko's technical and jumping skills were by now unmatched in the world, but judges were unwilling to reward his unorthodox approach to artistic skating.
		Stojko didn't compete at the World Championships in 1998, but he did take home a silver medal from the Winter Olympics in Nagano, where he competed with a groin injury.
