[Japanfan]

I'll always miss Elvis. He was a competitor with nerves of steel and he was true to himself as a skater. True, he never was willing to point his toes and did limit himself artistically. And while I don't really agree with his notion of 'masculine' skating, I love that he brought martial arts to the ice. I wish other (more other?) skaters would do the same.

In thinking of Elvis, I'm now thinking of Todd Eldridge. His 1492 at the 2001 Worlds remains one of my favorite programs of all time. That's a piece of music I'd like to see used again in skating.
