After having seen 'Tainted Love' and how much this style suits him, I'm really sad that we're not going to be seeing 'Summertime'...
I completely agree with you, nadin. I wish I could see this program. Everithing Srephane skates to the music chosen by himself is wonderful no matter who creates the choreography, and we know him - he works until the program is a masterpiece, how can we doubt that it is worth seeing? And besides this program was a symbol of his new life in America, I am sure it meant a lot to him. It's a great pity not to see Summertime, no more comments

I think, we can doubt 'cause he doubts it himself. Actually more, he doesn't have any doubts: he decided already that it's not worth seeing. The reason he told why he doesn't want to show it (that short programs are usually not good for shows, that he doesn't like to use short programs in shows 'cause they are short and technical) doesn't work for me, 'cause actually he used his short programs in shows when those programs were good. Like "Dralion" for example.

Thanks for the reply But you know I think Stephane decided not to show this program in galas because in autumn it was not ready enough for showing and as he said he had to choose and chose his LP because he thinks LPs are better for that. Besides SP contains many difficult elements and he is injured and maybe can not do it as he wants to - that can be also a reason. But anyway thank you for reminding me that we should actually respect his choice

Interview with Marc Lindegger in Basler Zeitung today. He confirms that a comeback is not an issue at the moment. The most important sentence for me in this interview is: "We are now planning galas for the next season"
sagen sie mal Marc Lindegger
Stéphane Lambiels Manager äussert sich zu den Gerüchten über eine mögliche Rückkehr des 23-jährigen Eiskunstläufers in den Wettkampfsport.
BaZ: Marc Lindegger, gerüchtehalber soll sich Stéphane Lambiel überlegen, wieder Wettkämpfe zu laufen.
Das ist totaler Quatsch, Stéphane hat dies auch bereits dementiert. Wir planen die Gala-Auftritte der nächsten Saison.
Für die Dopingkontrollen beispielsweise ist er aber noch angemeldet.
Das ist eine reine Vorsichtsmassnahme für den Fall, dass er irgendwann wieder Wettkämpfe bestreiten will. Wenn man dort einmal abgemeldet ist, kann man sich nicht so einfach wieder anmelden und Wettkämpfe laufen.
Würde sein Gesundheitszustand denn eine Rückkehr erlauben?
Die Verletzung ist noch immer nicht ganz ausgeheilt – und man weiss auch nicht, ob sie das je sein wird. Stéphane trainiert eine bis eineinhalb Stunden täglich, mehr läge im Moment nicht drin. Er ist in einer fantastischen Form für GalaAuftritte, wie er bei Art on Ice bewiesen hat. Ein Training auf diesem zeitlichen Niveau würde aber nicht reichen, um Weltmeister oder Olympiasieger zu werden.
Die Weltmeisterschaften in Los Angeles von Ende März sind also kein Thema?
Nein. Es wäre für ihn ohnehin gar nicht möglich, bis dahin fit genug zu werden. Stéphane startet nicht, wenn er nur die Aussicht auf einen 20. Platz hat.
Aber ein Start an den Olympischen Spielen 2010 in Vancouver wäre eine Möglichkeit?
Ich sehe dies im Moment überhaupt nicht. Aber ich kenne Stéphane gut genug und schliesse nicht aus, dass er irgendwann wieder auf die Wettkampfbühne zurückkehrt. Momentan jedoch passiert in dieser Hinsicht gar nichts.

Thank you for the article, stephanie2006 I think now it is said clear enough to stop all these rumors. But clear enough for people to stop hoping for his comeback? - I'd doubt that

Hello everybody,
No time before for come here.... I would just like to thanks Reut for his interview of Stéphane ! I agree with everybody: really interesting and really different of usual interviews (not full of questions a bit "stupid" or whom come back too many times). I suppose it was, during the interview, a really sweet atmosphere. So great that Stéphane could have been as opened as that. I am really happy for you ! And thanks you so !

amandine, I'm glad you liked it. Yes, the atmosphere was really nice and warm, Stephane is a very nice, polite, empathic and easy person, it's fun to talk to him.
Few people asked me already, so maybe it's better to clarify: it was a regular interview, I've got an accreditation as the journalist, from Marc (and also afterwards I've sent him a copy of this interview for approval 'cause I wanted to be sure that Stephane's words about the system can't harm him), Stephane absolutely saw the dictophone and knew that it was an interview. Initially this interview was supposed to be published on the site of some Russian paper. After it was published (in a bit shorter version), I made a full version of our talk in English, especially for AS. That was the story.
He talked to me so openly and freely and the atmosphere was so nice during the talk, maybe, because he felt my sympathy to him and from my questions he saw that I'm really following his career and know what he is doing.
