^ saw him compete for the first time @ 2005 Skate America (in Atlantic City, NJ) & he won!

Skate America 2019– my strongest memory of the event being, those inspired costumes for the sweepers. Elvis jumpsuits for the boys, yellow Ann-Margret dresses for the girls!

Elvis Stojko wore an "Elvis" jacket in the Champions on ice tour one year!

Patrick Chan, Max Trankov and Scott Moir (all three wearing nothing but towels around their waists) holding up a sign that shows their affection for Elvis!

coaches supporting coaches - I kept thinking I was seeing Daniil G. standing beside/behind John Zimmerman as John's skaters were coming off the ice. I thought Daniil had a doppelganger or I was crazy, and then it kept happening and I thought, no, I'm right, they're good friends and that's why. I thought it was really neat.

(Um ... it is him, right? I'm not crazy, right? :eeking: :noshake:

I would imagine/hope that Brian Orser & Tracy Wilson are very supportive of each other.

 

[Seven Sisters]

And then there are feuding coaches—like Tutberidze & Plushenko

 

[skylark]

Brian Orser - who Tutberidze tried to feud with, but he didn't bite!

 

[iluvtodd]

^ Wow! I don't know if you would call this a feud, or just a parting of the ways - Marina Zoueva & Igor Shpliband.

 

[LadyB]

TAT and Mishin, years of interesting verbal exchanges! I think they made up now.

 

[skylark]

Tamara Moskvina, Mishin's erstwhile partner. I've never heard them have a battle in the press or even a cross word!
