Well, Howard, not quite as agile as he used to be. He no longer does back
flips, on skates.
But then, I think Scotty Hamilton (US), Kurt Browning (Can) and Elvis (Can)
were the only ones to ever do it. Very dangerous!
Thanks for looking!
David.

These are delightful!! And you have controlled the ISO noise wonderfully
well. I remember Elvis and am surprised that he is as agile as he
appears given his advanced age. Thanks for sharing.

It's true! Elvis is in the building... as I type!
Elvis Stojko (named for Presley) is a legend in Canadian figure
skating.
Elvis is a two time Olympic Silver Medalist, three time World
Champion and seven times Canadian Champion.
He and his wife, Mexican figure skater & model, Gladys Orozco, are
here in Logan Lake, this weekend... giving a figure skating
workshop for our local figure skating club.
As excitement goes, in a small town of just 2,000 people, it
doesn't get much better!
Yesterday, the kids put on a show and Elvis put in a cameo
appearance, on the ice. Some 400 people turned out for the event -
whereas usually you get the parents & grandparents of the kids &
that's it.
Lighting in our local Rec. Center is abysmal, so I set the minimum
shutter speed to 1/800th (figuring the kids don't move THAT fast)
and let Auto ISO do it's thing. With the 75/1.8 on board, ISO
varied from 2,500 to 6,400 and the results were not pretty.
So here is Elvis' performance, in 7 photos...
