To all of Jozef’s fans,
On Tuesday, June 4th, Jozef was skating in Sun Valley at a private show and he skated beautifully! BUT..apparently on the landing of his backflip, he broke his ankle. It was a clean break, but Jozef needed surgery. He had the surgery in Salt Lake City on June 10th. Jozef has done amazingly well. Jozef is back in Sun Valley skating in their show, which he has done every summer for many years now. The first show he skated in after his surgery was July 4th! He did great! He put together a new number and he did a double loop and a walley or two and Blade and Jozko skated out to him at the end of his number. So, if you plan on seeing Jozef in Sun Valley this summer, he will be there. He won’t be jumping like he normally does, but he’ll give you the best he’s got for now. I just know you will be happy you went to see him. When Scotty Hamilton was commentating and Jozef was skating, Scotty would say, “In a word, Jozef is special.” With or without jumping, Jozef IS “special." Jozef, we all wish you a continued recovery.
If anyone wants to send him an email to wish him well, please send it to:
and it will be forwarded to him.
