Re: If Elvis Stojko Found Ice On The Moon, Could He Do A Re If elvis stojko found ice on the moon, could he do a As you can see,there is a lot of interesting physics in ice skating! http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/feb98/885415419.Ph.r.html
Extractions: Stuart - what a great question, especially with the Olympics coming up. And, somehow the MadSci administrators know I was Canadian, so of course I know who Elvis is! The answer to your question is - probably. The first problem with skating on the Moon is the Moon's lack of an atmosphere. This would mean that any ice on the surface would be be very cold. The cold and the lack of atmospheric pressure would make it impossible to skate `outside' on the surface of the Moon. Here's why: When you skate, almost all of your weight is carried on the very small area of your skate blades. The force of your weight on the small area creates tremendous pressure. In regions of high pressure, water melts at lower temperatures, so the temperature of the ice beneath your is above the high-pressure freezing point and the ice turns to water. This makes a film of water between your blade and the ice, which allows you to slide along. If you were on the surface of the moon, the temperature of the ice would be much lower than it is on a skating rink. The pressure exerted on the ice under your blades (which would be lower because of your lower weight) would not be high enough to make the melting temperature under the blades equal to the ice's temperature. The ice wouldn't melt and you wouldn't slide along. You can see this effect for yourself if you try skating outside on a really cold day.

Extractions: Skating-Juvenile literature. Grades 2 - 5 / Ages 7 - 10. Review by Deborah Mervold. excerpt: Everyone thought Elvis Stojko would win the 1998 Olympics. He was the World Champion, and he had won the silver medal at the last Olympics. But Elvis had a secret. He was badly injured and in great pain. Only his family and coaches knew. He didn't want people to feel sorry for him. He didn't want to talk about the pain. Elvis wanted to focus on his skating. Practices were torture for Elvis. He still kept his secret. Other athletes would have dropped out of the Olympics, but not Elvis. When it came time to perform, Elvis spun and jumped like a champion. As soon as Elvis finished skating, his face twisted in pain. Finally the whole world knew his secret. Elvis limped to the boards. His coach had to help him off the ice. But Elvis had skated his best. Despite being so badly injured, he won a silver medal. This new title is one of three books on the sport of ice skating that has been authored by Patty Cranston, with

Extractions: Main Went to practice ice skating at Yerba Buena today. Who else would be skating at the same time? none other than Elvis Stojko , the world champion from Canada best known for his quadruple jumps. So while I'm puttering around, trying to skate backwards on one foot, Elvis is weaving around the rink at a high speed performing triple triple combinations, landing right in front of me and others. He did spins so fast all you could see was a blur. Most people couldn't seem to make up their minds whether to feel inspired or intimidated. He's just so good. What a treat!

Extractions: IF you've been reading my column in recent weeks, you'll know that I have a new job on a CBC show called In the Company of Women One of the best things about my new job is that I get to meet (and interview) all kinds of interesting people. And they're not all women. Some of them are even cute guys. Just last weekend I had the great thrill of interviewing one of Canada's true heroes. Now, don't go jumping to conclusions about who it was. Neither Gordon Wilson nor Glen Clark was available when we needed them. Nope, this was a real hero. A guy with enormous stature, although he's not tall. A guy with tremendous beauty, but without traditional good looks. This is a guy with guts and passion and a firm belief in himself. Ladies and gentlemen, I had the great honour of interviewing the one, the only, Elvis Stojko.

Extractions: Home General Information Call For Papers Editorial Board ... The Sport Coaching Journal America's Sports University Programs In: Online Doctoral Degree: Bachelor Degree Program: Graduate Continuing Education Certification: By: Karen McGarry Figure skating is viewed by many Canadians as an integral part of Canadian culture. Records of ice skating date back to at least the 1700s, and figure skating, along with hockey, receives prime-time television coverage on major Canadian television networks. Figure skating, in fact, is ranked second only to hockey in terms of television spectatorship, government funding, and corporate sponsorship (Skate Canada 2002). Its popularity among fans is heightened by the fact that since the 1940s, Canadians have won more than 500 international medals, making it one of the nation's most competitively successful amateur sports. Skaters such as Elvis Stojko, Kurt Browning, Elizabeth Manley, Barbara Ann Scott, Toller Cranston, and Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, to name a few, have become household names and national icons in Canada. Given figure skating's high spectatorship levels, it is not surprising that Skate Canada, the sport's amateur governing body, and CTV, Canada's self-declared "official figure skating network" have opportunistically marketed figure skating as a distinctly "Canadian" sport and a sport of national significance:

Extractions: Figure Skating in Northern Ontario Hats Off To Wendy! The level of training available to young skaters in the Sudbury area is impressive to put it moderately. Over a few months surrounding the turn of 2003-2004 the skaters at the Sudbury Skating Club have had help and guidance from the likes of Doug Leigh, Michelle Leigh, Lee Barkell, Robert Tebby, and Jeffery Buttle (see their highlights below). Doug Leigh, considered by many to be not only Canada's best coach, but one of the world's best, has a coaching schedule that reads like an international travel brochure; Berlin, Japan, China, Montreal, Stockholm, Colorado, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and oh yeah, Sudbury, Ontario. This month! Here's a man that finds himself heading for his 24th World Championships and when I asked him why he was in Sudbury today coaching a few of our rising stars says "I just love being part of other people's dreams - to grab people and pull out what's inside of them. Life is just.... give a kid a chance." Wow. And after watching him a couple of hours and chatting a bit it was apparent... this man just means it. But how did
