Yes, what could have been better than to have a nice article on Stéphane to start the year well? I usually don't read the newspapers, but I happened to be the one to open Le Matin today. Here's the link to the online version: www.lematin.ch/nwmatinhome/nwmatinheadpeople/_je_suis_fan_de_britney.htmlIt might only be online today, so hurry to check the picture! I'll post a translation in a couple of minutes...

Warning: I'm tired!
"I'm a fan of Britney"
The skater puts an end to a year spoiled by an injury but lit up by a beautiful meeting: that with Cédric Monod, his new coach
The day before yesterday, Stéphane Lambiel skated on the rink at the Flon, in Lausanne, to do some promotion for "Art on Ice". Nice and relaxed, he mixed with the crowd and wannabe-skaters. Though he loves competing, the young sportsman also enjoys skating in exhibitions "where there is less pressure". "But this show looks nothing like Holiday on Ice. All those sequins and such, that's not for me".
Art on Ice, which mixes an ice show with a concert, gives him the opportunity to meet international music stars like Zucchero and Seal. Delighted to meet such artists, there's still someone this young man of 19 dreams of meeting. "I love Britney Spears. She impresses me. I find her gorgeous and what she does is so in. I'd love to meet her to see if the concept Britney Spears is anything like the person she is."
A need to move
And the concept Stéphane Lambiel, does it correspond to the person? "Yes, I'm very spontaneous, often impatient, very stressed. I need to be constantly on the move, to meet people, to give." And he looks quite good on top of that... "I'm not trying to look good, I'm what I am. In the morning, when I get up, I find myself ugly, like everybody! What matters for me, it's to be beautiful inside, to be satisfied with what I do."
Overview 2004
This young talent of figure skating just put an end to a year marked by an injury which spoiled his summer. But 2004 was quite a good year nonetheless. "I got my maturity diploma and finished 4th at Worlds." A special meeting? "With no doubt that with Cédric, my new coach. He's like a baby sitter. He's a perfectionist and he's very attentive. I have a lot of energy, so if what surrounds me doesn't fit me, I explode!"
On January 6 and 7 [it's actually Jan. 7 and 8] he will compete at the Swiss Championships in Malley, his first competition since his surgery.
And what about his love life? "Joker!"

I'm as young as the young man I feel. I never said you were old, I know you're not, but I can just imagine that it'd be a bit disturbing for your kids to have a "big brother" as their mom's lover... (I hope I won't get edited... or banned!! for writing that!)

I just went to check and the jacket costs 69.- CHF, which is about 45€... It also has a cute little "Switzerland" on the back of the collar.
