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 That would be great Anna! 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 Thank you, girls for translating! I really don't expect in Stéphane sayings always "breaking news" but I always discover new details and nuances of his personality that's no less fascinating.

OMG, so many great news! First of all - Dear pianomaya, you're an angel! Thank you so very much for sharing your video. Thanks to you I will have time to figure out what went wrong and to find a solution for the future. kindredspirit and Anna – you both are so kind! I will be more than grateful for the translation There is so much to translate... Stéphane is a perfect interviewee for any journalist but on the other hand a real challenge for the interpreter Good luck! pia, thank you very much for trying to fix the problem together with me. I'm going to practice with my recording software and hopefully one day I will find out what are the best settings that will allow me to share the files. But, thanks to pianomaya, not tonight I've spent nearly half the night fighting with the issue and I'm dead tired Thank you very much for getting the Pirouette magazine and for sharing it with us. Like you, I hope that someone will be nice enough to translate it for us

Sport non stop - Translation (first part, till minute 11)You have seen Stéphane Lambiel, the champion who was able to win World titles and Olympic medals. But you have seen above all Stéphane, the boy able to transform every gesture into art. Good evening, Stéphane Lambiel.Good evening. Thank you. This is the first gift you did to us: to be here at "Sport non stop".. I know it's not easy, your schedule is full until February 2016. Every single day. And we are one of these events! Thank you.It's true.. thank you, I love to come to Ticino, I [always] try to find the time to come. I have a very full schedule, I work seven days a week, but it's always a pleasure to come here. And now that we have this direct link between Lugano and Geneva with Swiss, it will be easier! Great, so we fix more events with Stéphane Lambiel at "Sport non stop" for 2017 and 2018. (laughs) How did you meet Fabiano Rodriguez?Mh.. no, I'll answer in french, or we'll need hours (laughs). I wanted to edit my website, I wanted to add some photos, so I was looking for a photographer who could understand the movement of figure skating. I saw some photos of Fabiano and I liked how it was structured, how he could move into these architectures, so I thought it would have been interesting to do it with ice rinks too. The result is amazing. So he came from Brazil - I contacted him, I told him that I was interested in working with him, that I loved his work - and he immediately said yes. We organized the trip, he came to Champéry and saw the rink. Usually ice rinks are not very "glamour" places, but he was able to find amazing angles. You don't even think to be in Champéry, it looks like you are in another world. When I saw the result I had tears in my eyes, he could show in a few images what I live on the ice. And then when I saw the video (which was his idea), I was so moved, seeing how he understood figure skating - even if he does skateboard. Beautiful to see what can come from the combination between two different sports. Sorry that we had to cut [the video], but maybe we can show it all at the end [of the interview]. We are happy to have Stéphane here with us. He is happy too. (this photo appears) Because, even if the weather is not particularly good (not even in Ticino), we are in spring. Your favourite season!Really! (laughs) I took this picture a few days ago, I was so happy to walk in Lausanne and see all these flowering trees, the beautiful weather, the longer days... I love spring! This season really inspires me. See (looking at the picture - laughs). Reborn, in every sense. Do you always look forward, do you look to the future... what are you looking? (second picture) Do you still look at you past achievements, sometimes? I don't usually look back. I prefer to live in the present. The interesting thing in my life is that every day there's something new happening. So yes, I like looking to the future, I have many projects, I want to create many things, but the most important is what I'm doing today. Now I'm working at my skating school, which I opened last August; and I'm creating my show, launched last December in Geneva. I want the school to develop, one day I wish to see young Swiss talents with good results. I hope I can make a contribution, with my experience, my advices to these young people who want to have results. They want to work, when I am on the ice [with them] in Champéry I see that they want to learn, to understand what figure skating is. If you don't give them the right information, they will never do it. I try to "feed them", to increase their hope. I also try to develop other ideas, choreographically... figure skating is such a beautiful sport... you can skate forever... ["to the infinite"]. (to the audience) Did you understand what is enthusiasm? What is love for what you do? In a few words, Stéphane told us what "love for your sport" means. It's not easy to teach. I was reading one of your interviews, where you told "I had to learn how to communicate, how to teach". It's not so obvious.Of course, teaching is not easy. When I skate, I realize that figure skating is not an easy sport - you have to understand your body, you have to control your brain, you have to manage yourself. When you teach, you have to do it with a personality which is different from yours, with different feelings. You don't always have the same student, every time you have to comply with the new student - and what I love is: the feelings that you know inside must be, first, very clear in your head, if you want to communicate them - but then, you have to find a way to make your student feel those same feelings. And I noticed that words are not so important, but there are some movements, some exercises that can transmit these feelings. It's very complicated, but I love it, I didn't think that I would have loved teaching so much, but today I can tell that I love being on the ice, it's my passion, but I love even more to see how children love it! (to the audience) And now you understood why it is so difficult to be a teacher, but at the same time so exciting. Who has taught so much, for so many years, to Stéphane Lambiel, is Peter Grütter.It's true. This person completely changed my life, he gave me everything, he made me become someone, in figure skating, but he also taught me so much in life. And today I still like to call him, ask him for advices, I still go to Vernets where he teaches, and I love to speak with him. He has a huge heart, a lot of patience - he had a lot of patience with me! - I'm lucky I can still count on Peter. We are organizing a Champ at the Skating School of Switzerland which will take place next August, with 30 young skaters from all over the world, and he will share his knowledge with me. From all over the world... is there a country where we didn't work completely yet, and a new "Stéphane Lambiel" could come from?Well, for example, this season the World champion is Spanish. It's incredible, I'd have never imagined ten years ago that a Spanish skater could win the World championship. This opens the doors to every country, really. My origins are Portuguese - why not? Maybe a little Portuguese will become World champion one day. Today, in Portugal almost no one skates. But the door is open, and if they are interested, I'll be the first to encourage them. But if a new Stéphane Lambiel should come from Swiss Champéry to bring us new Olympic medals, we would be happy!

Great translation, thank you so much Anna!
Now I regret even more that there are so seldom long, good interviews with him -it's just extraordinary how he can express his thoughts!

Thank you very much Anna! It is really touching when people are devoting their time to give the joy to others. Many, many thanks! Not knowing the Italian language I could only guess what they were talking about but even then I felt that this is a really great interview. I could feel some good vibes between Mr. Ferrando and Stéphane. And now, when I can exactly understand what and how they were talking I like this interview even more. This probably will be one of my favorite interviews with Stéphane. Waiting patiently for the rest of the translation Edited: And only just in case if the video recorded by pianomaya would have been disappeared from Youtube here is the link to interview on the webside of the channel RSI LA 2 - Sport non stop

You're welcome I like it too. They say more or less what we already know, but I really loved the "style" of the whole conversation. And yes, how the journalist is "in love" with him. There's a very nice moment later where Stéphane talks for a few minutes and then the journalist says something like "and now many of you are probably thinking - yes, it's beautiful to watch Stéphane.. but it's also beautiful to listen to him..." (my comment: yeah, we know, we know...)

(please please forgive my mistakes!! Headache doesn't help ) Sport non stop - Translation (second part, from minute 11 till minute 21.39) In three months, in Kuala Lumpur,there will be a meeting which I know is very important for you,because the Ceo will decide which city will host the Youth Olympic games and Lausanne 2020 is a candidate you hold dear.Of course. Lausanne is a city I hold dear, it would be really great to have the Youth Olympic Games because I have experienced, as ambassador, the Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck and I've seen that the young athletes have great ambitions, they are the next world's champions so it would be great for Lausanne and for all the region to have the opportunity to see these talents that tomorrow will be the big of this sport. And then, this could be an inspiration for all the young people, and we must invest in the young people and sport in general, so it would be really a chance to show that sport is good and it would be an exceptional event for Lausanne. I support this and I'm looking forward to knowing which city will host this event. And for those who think “these are only Youth Olympic Games” just think about what happened only few days ago for the hockey's final in Zurich, the climate was really something beautiful. Let's carry on to talk about young people.You have surrounded yourself with a very very young team. Not so young like her (picture of his niece). Who is she?She's my brother's daughter, Alyssa.She has just began to skate this winter, it has been really nice to bring her on the ice, teach her how to keep the balance. It's only a game for her now, it's not training but who knows, maybe she would like to skate someday. She's just 4 years old, she's still too young,but you have to start soon to become a champion and if she wants to skate, why not. And she is lucky to have a master at home! The loved ones are important to you. You travel the world, you have an average of 40 galas per year, but you impose to yourself to see your family at least once in a week. Yes, for me it's very important to see my family and when you travel so much as I do, you need to have a lunch with you family, you need to stay with them to recharge the batteries and then you continue to travel, so these moments are precious to me. You've created in few months a winner team, they are all very young. Is it an elixir to continue to feel young? You are 30 now, a very important goal. Is it because you want to continue to feel young or because you really believe in the youth?Well, all the team that has created the skating school and the show, we are all very young, all of us feel like doing well and I think that we love what we do, this is the secret, at least for me. Skating is my passion, I skate since when I was 7 years old, I'm really sure of what I'm doing, I'm sure of this passion and the extraordinary thing is that in December, during the show, I've loved to see that my friends - some of them didn't know about skating, it was the first time for them - well, I had the impression that they really got into it and I didn't understand why they put so much passion. Well, it's because they have shared this enthusiasm with me without knowing the environment and that's why we succeeded in doing what we wanted to do. We gave everything. Since when you were 7 years old,your mother collects all your costumes. What kind of wardrobe does she have?(laughs) Well, we have an entire room where we collect all my costumes. A legend says you have a very special pair of skates, with golden blades. Is it true?They are not golden, they are plated in gold! Well, I was doing some research on internet for my website,i was searching some inspirations, and I found out a discipline that has disappeared, it existed until the Olympic Games in 1906. The skaters had to carve on the ice a figure and the referees had to judge the most beautiful one. It was called “special figures”. And it's incredible because the blade is the tool of skating and with this blade you can do some beautiful figures but you can also carve a figure on the ice and it is so precise that it takes hours of training to understand how to do it. I wanted to show with these blades the work of a skater, but also the work of the artisan who carves the ice. And I'm really impressed by the precision of the skaters that in 1906 did these figures on the ice. I've found these figures on internet, and you can do it by yourself, that's why I organize some challenge together with my students, to see which is the most beautiful one. Even to carve a flower on the ice is not easy. I believe is not easy at all. Let's go back in time and find out where Stéphane Lambiel has become Stéphane Lambiel. Of course in the family but also in a very important school. San Maurice is one of the most prestigious high school of the Valais, just think of Blatter (and?? I didn't understand....) as an ex student and of course Stéphane Lambiel. I have to say that the years I've spent in high school have been the most wonderful years of my life, yes, I really think that. It's there I've built myself, I've built my future, both in terms of education and yes, even the circle of friends and today i do my projects with people which attended that school with me. So I've learned discipline, I've learned organizations, I've learned planning and to have a project. Between the high school and skating I really had to organize myself in order to do anything but in life is very important to be able to do that. On one hand, I say to myself that it would be time that Switzerland would do something for these athletes and for those who want to succeed in arts. The Swiss scholastic system is still too rigid, , but on the other hand I've told to myself "I succeeded" so I'm convinced that we would need to give more importance to sports and arts for the today's young people, so we can invest more time to become champions, because in other countries that's what they do, they train 10 times more than us because the school asks less to them and it is also an apprenticeships for life,because what you learn from sport you don't learn it from anywhere else. Solidarity, respect, the knowledge of your body, the movements,there are a lot of things you can learn from sport you don't learn anywhere else, therefore, sport is a very important education. I knew it and now many of you are probably thinking - yes, it's beautiful to watch Stéphane.. but it's also beautiful to listen to him he never says banal things. From the past, from school days, till where you are now. . I said it before, you always travel, you are an unquestioned idol all over the world, but especially in the East. We find you here (picture) with a strange hat in Shangai. Are you ashamed? (laugh) Not at all, no. That's what happens when you stay too much away from home, you get lost in Shangai. Why are you so popular, why the East loves you so much? I don't know, I don't know what people think, so it's hard to say, but as I said before, I love what I do and all that I do is at 200 an hour, I rush headlong in what I do and so even when I take a picture I'm happy. When you travel you have the opportunity to know other champions and curious pictures like this comes out. Here you are with Yao Ming, the first Chinese NBA player and I want to underline that you are standing. Yes yes, I'm not on my knees, I'm standing and I'm even trying to extend my neck! It has been amazing to meet him and as you said, it's good to travel and meet interesting people, to be able to speak to these people, to meet different cultures, different cuisine. I love to taste a little bit of everything. I was in Messico recently and I ate for the first time grilled grasshoppers. that's what I love about travelling , I love to discover, and above all, I love human contact.

Thank you very much, kindredspirit! My words to Anna are also addressed to you. How great it's that Stéphane has such a dedicated, kind and helpful fans. I hope you feel better today I love to taste new dishes but grasshoppers?! Oh no, never!

Thank you, kindredspirit, for your translation! I have a question. I could hear that Stéphane's niece name was pronounced by translator as "Alyssa", but I can hear Stéphane saying "Allyson" not "Alyssa". It's just we once discussed that on lambiel_ru. There was some old fan meeting where Stéphane was talking about his niece for the first time, and there too I could hear him saying "Allyson". So what do you hear? As for the grasshoppers, Maxim Trankov even posted a photo of them http://instagram.com/p/0bSorMOVUb
