Deux jeunes espoirs valaisans à l'école de Lambiel et Plushenko
Alba Fonjallaz, du Club de Patinage artistique de Monthey, et Yoonmi Lehmann, du club de Crans-Montana et Sierre, participent durant trois semaines au camp d'entraînement de Pinzolo (Haut Adige italien) dirigé par le célèbre et mythique Alexei Mishin, ancien champion de l'ancienne URSS, vice-champion du monde en couple et entraîneur attitré d'Evgeni Plushenko, triple champion du monde, champion olympique et cinq fois champion d'Europe.
Les meilleurs Russes, dont le jeune prodige de 18 ans, Artur Gachinski, déjà deuxième en élite et quelques jeunes talents italiens, roumains, autrichiens, hongrois et britanniques sont chaque jour sur la glace pour répéter les programmes qu'ils présenteront lors des prochaines compétitions régionales, nationales, internationales ou lors des JO de Sotchi.
Programme chargé
Au programme de nos deux jeunes espoirs valaisannes: entraînements sur la glace et au sol, endurance, ballet, course en forêt, le tout placé sous la rigoureuse baguette d'Alexei Mishin et de son staff d'entraîneurs, tous et toutes, anciens champions ou championnes d'URSS ou de Russie.
A noter les cours exceptionnels de Stéphane Lambiel donnés chaque après-midi aux différents groupes constituant le camp d'entraînement, cours tranchant par leur créativité artistique sur ceux, très techniques distillés par l'école russe.
Une véritable révélation
Pour nos deux jeunes Valaisannes, le camp constitue une véritable révélation. Pouvoir bénéficier des conseils et des démonstrations de quelques-uns des meilleurs patineurs du monde représente une chance exceptionnelle de progresser par l'exemple. La gentillesse de Lambiel, la fascinante décontraction de Plushenko rendent moins intimidant le fossé qui sépare encore nos jeunes sportives des monstres sacrés du patinage.
A noter - cela paraissait encore invraisemblable il y a quelques mois - la collaboration active de notre champion du monde au programme de son ancien rival Plushenko.
Voir Stéphane Lambiel enseigner ses secrets d'attitudes ou de pirouettes à celui qui voudra conquérir le titre aux prochains Jeux olympiques qui se dérouleront dans son pays (en 2014 à Sotchi) restera sans aucun doute dans les mémoires de Yoonmi et Alba.

stephanie2006, thank you for the article! I think it describes things a bit more exciting than they really are.
From the tweets of some student in the camp (her twitter is not private, it is open, but I remember there were people here who were against publishing links to twitters so I won't, just in case) I understand that the situation is a bit different. Stéphane indeed is working with Liza and Artur, but Evgeny has the whole other team around him and Stéphane is not working with him, so there is no any "active collaboration" there. More than that Evgeny is at rather early stages of his comeback at the moment. And for sure he is busy with his things so his presence doesn't influence young skaters in the camp in any positive way (well, maybe he still inspires them by just being there?).
Anyway I'm glad that two Swiss skaters got a chance to train there. Good luck to them. Is Yoonmi Lehmann connected to Tim Lehmann who is skating with Anais Morand?

I agree with you reut, having read the twitter messages as well.
However there might be room for a collaboration in the future. In a Pirouette magazine inteview from this month, Plushenko talks about his future plans to work as a trainer for Mishin or to have his own figure skating residental school, and after Sochi he would also like to realize his own figure skating shows. We'll see. For his new choreographies Plushenko mentions collaborations with Marina Iatsevitch, David Avdisch and Kurt Browning (for the transitions).
Tim's name is spelled "Leemann" and he's from around Zurich and not from the Valais, so I don't think there's a connection between Yoonmi and Tim.

We'll see. Yeah, everything might happen. As for now I didn't see any quote from Stephane about thinking about and willing such collaboration. Who knows maybe after Sochi Stephane will have his own school or at least summer camp. I actually googled "Tim Lehmann Anais Morand" before I asked, and saw some results for this search. Probably they confused spelling of his name.

Thank you for the link, aleachim. I think there is a big difference between helping with presentation and lines and actually making choreography. I think here we probably have the first case. But anyway I'm sure Stéphane has a lot to contribute and for sure his work will improve our skating world next season.

That will be interesting to see . I am glad about this also. Stephane needs to gather experience in work with skaters.

Thank you, reut . Maxim's costume is not sitting very well on Stephane. And Stephane's trousers must have been way too short for Maxim, as he is much taller than Stephane .

Yes, what IS he looking at! I also like the one with the shorts and slippers (flip-flops), but WITH a SCARF :-) Like he wants to combine summer with the ice :-) Salut, Annelfie

Yes, what IS he looking at! I think he looks at one of his students. Well, people wear scarves not only when it's cold. With our pretty hot weather here I wear scarves very often, and not to feel warmer.
