MaRaMaya I have no idea how long voting will be possible. I could imagine it to continue until the last part of 'Professionals Cup', next Sunday? I just continue voting as long as it is possible to do it . And - hoping that Stephane will be the final winner - I would like to know WHEN this "Special Material" will be broadcasted.

Just so that you don't get your hopes high. From the comments on the link. below the voting: 1) People say that there are some "bots" which can increase the number of votes for some skaters, so probably in the end the result will be as the authors want 2) People also say that the promised material for the previous voting still wasn't published.
And, overall, judging on the quality of this source if Stephane indeed wins and if they indeed do material about him, don't expect any new stuff there...

Two new shows in Russia added to schedule: www.stephanelambiel.com/. It is tomorrow . The show is Ilia Averbuch's show so it looks like Stephane's participation in the last project was really successful.

I am looking forward to get news from those two Ice Symphony shows! By the way: With help of an online-translator I read on: vokrug.tv/faces/25that Stephane finally won the "Cup of Professionals" tv-spectators voting with 5230 votes in front of the pair Domnina/Schabalin with 3951 votes. They write that "in very near time" we can expect "the material" about the winner.

Thank you, elanor and pia for the links!
I wonder what are the new/actual feelings for Stephane when skating NMQP? Was Alexei Yagudin the 'official' moderator of the show?

Thank you ladies for videos and translations from Professional Cup I was sooo touched by Stéphane's NMQP, for me it was the most expressive at all!! But during the judgement I was very sad watching Stéphane's face.. OMG How could Mrs. Tch.. tell to him THIS??? His expressed what was in his head, the body language cannot be hidden.. but final speech was very professional. This situation reminded me of the Thin Ice with Shizuka Arakawa, where they were the only pair of single skaters, so that disadvantaged from the beginning. It was similar here, but because of the nationality.. I am afraid, that these two disillusionments can prevent Stéphane from participation on other professional's competition and it would be a BIG pity And exhibition - nice and joyfull:)))

I fell in love with the performance of NMQP too, watched it so many times (the last fan made video of it) I don't know if it's really better, more mature but it seems deep, confident and details are polished to perfection. This program was dead for me since Vancouver and it is alive now and growing. Normally, I don't like much when Stephane comes back to old programs but sometimes it can give wonderful results. I liked Tell the most in the show (not my favorite program and almost overdone at this point ). It was brilliant execution, the gem of the perfectionist, technique at the level of art, art for the art's sake. Simply perfect skating. And the marks, yes, it was unpleasent, but not surprising. Maybe the foreign skaters really weren't quite ready for such event, they are from a different world. Now, they know what's it like. Maybe Stephane won't do something like this again, I don't know, it's up to him. I think it badly needs some real beauty, excellence and authenticity. Art is one thing that can't be pretended, hidden and lied about. I was a bit surprised that he decided to perform NMQP there since it's such a personal and special program for him. It's beyond any competitions and I would never want to see it graded. By skating it in a competition he opened it for judgment, critisism and opinions that can be subjective. Obviously, people and judges will say different things, it can't appeal to everybody, doesn't happen, even if you are Mozart. So, he decided to take the critique and I think can handle it. It seems a minor thing after the so called "team event" at the Olympics. I'm not naive, I knew there will be some "home bonus" and reputation marks but this made me lost for words. Maybe because the judging at the last Olympics and other skating competitions was more or less fair, I wasn't prepared. Can't respect the judges .... and what it says to younger skaters. It's sad what they do to the validity of figure skating sport.
