Game Faces - Elvis Stojko (Dec.28)

[SShaste]

Didn't see this posted yet. A show called Game Faces will be on it is a 30min show airing on CBC at 3:00pm (CST). The whole half hour will be a feature on Elvis Stojko.

Also, Jamie & David will have their own episode this coming Sunday.

I don't know if anyone else has seen Game Faces, but I love it. The interviews with Helen Kelesi and Simon Whitfield were especially strong.

I caught it by accident, but only the 2nd half. It was enough, however, to remind me how much I'm impressed with Elvis as an interviewee -- as always, he was articulate, candid, and insightful. Wish I'd seen all of it though.

The first half was really good. It showed clips from the Elvis Tour and the stuff he recorded for when it will be shown on tv. He also talked about his new girlfriend who is from the states and is a former skater and is now a dancer that also does some teaching (oh wait you probably saw that it was in the second half). He seemed very relaxed and happy.

it was a very good interview. as usual elvis was thoughtful and articulate...
she wanted to know why canadian men have never won gold at olympics and he said he didn't know...
talked about how long mentally it took him to recover from olympics.
said he loves speed... motor bikes, cars,,,, etc....
also he kind of gave a look when he said danny divito asked him to choreograph a number for a movie because he liked his skating....
(considering all the flack he took for his choreography.)...

Better interview than I thought. Elvis tended to give the same answers to the same questions IMO throughout his career - often politically correct answers. I felt he was a little more candid and honest in this interview and I was impressed.

I transcribed it for anyone that didn't see it. Anyone know if we're allowed to post those here, it's quite long.

There's also a transcript for Jamie and David's appearance on Game Faces today (or I guess technically that's yesterday now ;))

The first transcript on that page is from a CBC fluff piece while showing the Hallmark competition but if you scroll down you get to the Game Faces transcript.
