Stojko's 12th season will be his last

Associated Press

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan -- Elvis Stojko's 12th season at figure skating's top competitive level will be his last.

The three-time world champion and two-time Olympic silver medallist will begin what he hopes will be a memorable goodbye campaign when he presents his short program in the Canada International meet Thursday.

"This will be my last year," the Canadian star said before his Wednesday practice. "I don't want to go any further.

"I have just enough energy to produce what I want to produce this year. In my mind, this is the end of the road for me -- win, lose or draw. I'm ready to move on."

He's determined to go out in style.

"A perfect skate -- I've had those before, and I want to have one again at the Olympics," he said. "I didn't have that chance in '98 because I was injured."
