I saw jomeku posting translation for this video, but I can't find it now. Where was it? I deleted it because I had put it on a wrong thread . But I repost it here, on the right place, finally . It's not a direct translation, more like a detailed summary: Stéphane talks about four years of School 3S. The 'Palladium' being his home where he spends great times with his students when he is in Switzerland. He's happy with how the school developed over the last four years, with his fellow coaches Anna and Rob Dirking, and also with the administration staff. He thinks that together they have created something strong, and the students who feel this in consequence give more. He's happy with the results (he mentions that two students participated at the Olympic games). He cherishes, for example, the moments when they (the coaches) meet in the locker room after a long day in which perhaps a teenager has been crying on the ice or another one had managed something extraordinary. They are not rushing home but stay there. They appreciate the moment, simply to digest the beautiful day they had, even if there have been painful or some frustrating moments. But they appreciate what they learn and what teaching gives them. Stéphane says it's important to have all the facilities under one roof, room for warming up, fitness and gymnastics room, and a dance hall where ballet and dance teachers give lessons ..and the rink as the main place of their activities. Also that it is helpful for a sportive to be at high altitude. He adds that those who come to Champéry want either to stay or come back, if they can. .... By the way: I wonder if Diana is not training in Champéry any longer? I do miss her. And: It looks as if Carolina was "replacing" Stéphane during his absence for 'Friends on Ice'. How nice . I wonder if she will stay some longer? And Wow! They not only had two weeks, but a whole months of camps! Also Satoko Mijahara was there.

Not sure this is the right thread, but I attempted a google translation of this article about Stéphane and 3S in German that Reut found. www.yumpu.com/de/document/view/62202654/wallis-magazin-november-2018If you are an ice skater by profession, trimming yourself for success and title, then the body gives you only limited time for your career. About one third of the average lifespan. Then you stand there, win titles and medals and, at the age of 24, notice: Merde. Now I have already felt the strongest emotions in my life. So what? After his definitive resignation in 2010, Valais figure skating star Stéphane Lambiel was confronted with this knowledge. And it took a long, painful time until a new task could fill the great emptiness after the great career. The sun is shining outside. The chalets that surround the Palladium de Champéry sports center tan their wood paneling in the rays. Inside the ice rink, Stéphane Lambiel is chewing gum on the band, watching the figure skaters turn pirouets, fall over, and get up. He claps his hands, speaks French, sometimes English, shakes his head. It's like an absurd puppet play: Lambiel plays the emotions stoically with the runners on the ice after a successful or unsuccessful attempt lift off the ice skate. He'll say later, "I'd love to put her on ice. But now I know that they have to do it themselves.” Meanwhile in Champéry Lambiel's search came to an end four years ago. In the far corner of the Val d'Illiez, the two-time World Champion and Olympic silver medalist from Saxon founded the Skating School of Switzerland. Here he has now a chalet and trains six national and international young talents six times a week, such as the Swiss siblings Noah and Noémie Bodenstein or the Latvian Deniss Vasiljevs. In Champéry, there are always internationally successful top athletes, and the Lambiel choreography or style-busting coach Lambiel used to scare off: ‘I saw how much my former coach Peter Grütter has been working on. Depending on the day With the pupils it is like with children. You have to be there for a while.’ Lambiel is still running shows after his active career, holding seminars. He realizes that people are listening to him. "I never thought that I could have such a big effect on anyone.’ At the same time, something gnawed at his athlete's heart. Since he and ice skater Sarah Meier pulled back from the top sport, no Swiss run more forward with. The Swiss Skating Association could have done more to support the offspring .. After completing choreographies for other runners, Lambiel knew the Olympic Games in Sochi 2014 without a Swiss in the ice artifact, if not now, then never. The idea to open the school in Champéry came on The place was perfect. He is quiet, secluded, and the ice hall had much ice time to forgive. Meanwhile, Lambiel is no longer the gang, but in the field and slowly pushes a student over the ice. He is not a strict coach, but a precise one. If I want to see something specific, I can be very picky. Like his former coach Lambiel also gives For his protégés, inspiring words were on the ice before every competition. ‘Peter always triggers me with the words Lambiel, blood and Valais. He often said go out and show them how a Walliser skates. Lambiel works virtually nonstop. Every weekend in March, he travels with students to competitions all over the world every weekend. And even the 33-year-old must hold. He has just been training the figure skating artist Artes Ices for two days. In addition, he will once again set up his show Ice Legends, preferably in the Valais, but he still has to find a hall big enough. For me, kunstlauf has become a lifestyle. If I'm free, I'm drawn to it. During his career, his point of view figure skating on the sport was another. I was very ambitious. Always wanted to win The relationship has changed. Towards the end of my career, I realized, that I can just as well experience emotions on ice. Without necessarily winning. The are no longer so compressed today as at the Olympic Games. But they are still there, only distributed over a longer period of time. Thanks to the school and the students For the second third of his life, Lambiel has taken precautions.
