ELVIS LOOKS FORWARD TO COMPETING AGAIN
--------------------------------------
Canadian Press - 4/30/2003 1:16:24 PM
RICHMOND HILL, Ont. (CP) - Elvis Stojko says he is returning to competitive
figure skating because he hasn't reached his full potential.

And the former three-time world champion says he has not ruled out competing at
the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy.

"I just started trying triple Axels again. I haven't done them in four or five
months, they feel great," he told reporters Wednesday.

"I've got no injuries. My body's healthy, my mind's healthy. I'm ready to go."

His new coach is Linda Bridge, who has been coaching Canadian junior champion
Ken Rose.

Stojko, 31, announced his retirement on March 12, 2002, and was named to the
Skate Canada Hall of Fame last June.

Most recently he has been touring the United States as a member of the Champions
On Ice cast.

He won world titles in 1994, 1995 and 1997, and he also won Olympic silver in
1994 and 1998.

After missing most of the 2000-2001 season with injuries and finishing 10th at
the world championships, he went to the Salt Lake City Olympics and finished a
disappointing eighth. It was generally perceived that he could no longer keep up
with younger skaters such as Alexei Yagudin and Evgeni Plushenko, who have
dominated the top of the world podium since Stojko stopped winning.
