My small "investigation" on "Stephane talking love" topic. This is the site of the magazine: www.femina.ch/They have electronic versions of all their editions here: epaper.tamedia.ch/Default.aspx?product=FEMINA&edition=FEMINAEditions come out each Sunday. In their magazine they have a regular column called "Talk to me about love" where some celebrity comments famous quotes about love (each time different quotes, from what I saw). So, don't expect it to be personal. But Stephane has this great ability to have refreshing point of view on very banal things, so even if quotes are cliches (and maybe they are not, who knows), I'm looking forward to see what he said. This week's edition has this column with someone else. So, I guess, we will need to check next Sunday again? No Stephane this week either. We will need to wait some more. So it looks we have at least another week of waiting ahead of us

Gaja, yes, it looks this way. I'm watching the stream right now (thank you for the link!). They start with the clip from the official site which I don't likeUpdate: It was a really lovely talk, unfortunately I didn't understand much, translation to Italian was too loud and I couldn't hear most of what Stephane was saying. Just very in general: he talked about how and why he invited Fabiano Rodrigues to create the video and photos, about his school, about Carolina Kostner, about Lausanne 2020 bid and why it would be so great if they win this, about why he thinks people love him , about Britney Spears and Nelly Furtado, about his niece a bit, about Mr. Gruetter, about his recent photo and why he loves spring. Hope we will be able to get the video and someone from our Italian friends will help with translation?

I have recorded this interview but my files are HUGE and now we are wondering (together with pia) how I can share them with you Edited: It turned out that the only solution is to upload the files to YouTube (which I'm just doing now). It will takes a few hours... I really hope someone will help us with translation because from what I've seen the interview was great. I laughed even without understanding the details of the conversation. And when it comes to the official site - I like it very much! - it is unusual and unique (like Stéphane)

Hope everything will be fine with the video. He was so charming, I'm sure people would enjoy to see it. As for the site, actually it's pretty standard. Also it's dark and dead, very much not like Stéphane for me. It has some pretty big "failures" from web design perspective, rather non professional ones: the bug of copying posts from FB where the photo is not copied and sometimes you can see, like now, only number of 'likes'. The site looks OK on iPad, but fonts are not good for mobile phone and are too big for browser. And, the worst of all, the video starts playing every time you open the page, without you wanting it. It's a rather bad taste if something on the site "makes sounds" unexpectedly. But the saddest thing is that it almost doesn't include any information and the news are mainly old news there (they had there "Fantasy on Ice" "news" about last summer through the whole year and now it was "suddenly" updated to 2015, but with typos). The only "relevant" thing there is his schedule, but for most of his shows we get dates and news before his site is updated... Sorry to spoil the excitement, but I think he deserves better (he obviously doesn't think that ). On the other hand, I really don't care as long as he updates at least something online, and he definitely got better with Instagram and Twitter. What I meant I don't like above, by the way, was not about the site, but about the video. The image part of the video is actually interesting, but the soundtrack is so banal and straightforward I can't imagine how Stéphane could agree to it.

I'm so very sorry but it seems that my files can not be uploaded to YouTube. I've been waiting a few hours to get information that the format of file which I'm trying to upload is not supported by YouTube. I will try to figure it out tomorrow but I really hope there is someone who also recorded the interview and could share it.

I don't know when I'll be able to translate the chat, so I'm transcribing the whole conversation in italian to make sure I don't miss anything. Translation will be done this week. Nothing really new, but I laughed really hard when at the end he said "have we finished yet? We have other pictures, I can still talk...."

Greatest thanks pianomaya! It means a lot to see this broadcast! How he can be more and more beautiful every time he appears out! Gaja - hopefully you can convert your video, many thanks for recording! In my computer stream didn't work. Here is Sarah Meier's Pirouette article as well. It took 2 weeks to come to me LOL www.mediafire.com/view/74r89n9m15mcka2/pirouette_lambiel.jpgSarah is really good journalist, great to see that!!!!

Wow, so many news coming. Thanks for the article, pia! Something new there? kindredspirit, Anna said she might find time for this too. Maybe you can share the workload? Me too, I laughed when he said that he has more pictures.

Me too, I laughed when he said that he has more pictures. Nothing really new but Sarah describes his work really well, in detail and notices things that only someone who itself is a top skater can notice. She has very good writing style and it's interesting to read! I'm actually very glad to see it because I've always been a fan of Sarah as well! I love when she quotes Stéphane who says: "Peter's influence to all my work on the ice is enormous. From him I learned that steps and edges are basis of everything." I hope that someone can translate it I think it's worth of it (even when no big news inside)

Thank you all for videos and news As Reut said, I can help with translation, if you want, you can tell me what part you already did (or want to do)? He never speaks too much

Fortunately, I have a job and I work all day long, so my time is limited. To be honest I've done nothing yet, just converted the video in mp3 files and save it in my laptop (it was the easiest thing to do). I can begin the translation tomorrow evening, if you want to help, I can send you the file. I pm you so we can discuss the details Please girls, as usual don't expect something new, but it's always a pleasure to hear him talk
