TORONTO - Two-time Olympic silver medallist Elvis Stojko releases the first single from his new album today, called "Let Me Be The One."

The album by the seven-time Canadian figure skating champion, entitled "100 Lifetimes," will be released later this fall. A statement from Stojko's agent says the album represents "several years of work in the studio."

Stojko's father was a professionally trained tenor and the release of "100 Lifetimes" marks the start of the skater's music career.

The songs will be featured as part of a musical figure skating show titled "Rock the Ice" to be held January 3rd in Peterborough, Ont.
