Thanks for the links She doesn't seem to say much on the "how". She stresses that all coaches are invited to stay, but by becoming basically her employees. She also offers unified class hours, regardless of the fact some students live farther away, or don't have the same school hours (which can vary a lot in Switzerland). She also calls her classes "half-private" and claims that the price will drop by a lot, but then says that if students still want private classes they have to arrange that with the coach of their choice during the time immediately following the usual classes (which you can imagine will make the price skyrocket and force coaches to choose between students, as they obviously can't give several private classes in the same time slot). She also seems to want to force all students to take dancing, etc classes with coaches of her choice, directly at the rink. I know nothing of figure skating coaching or how to run a rink, but some of these ideas, while good on paper, seem to be totally impossible to implement... I wonder how all this is going to end Seems no one can come out on top in the situation, and the skaters will be the ones to lose, whatever the final decision is.

And many thanks also for the scans from 'Art & Entertainment'!! What a long article about Ice Legends and interview! With beautiful pictures ! (Too long for me to even dare to ask if somebody could translate )

(Too long for me to even dare to ask if somebody could translate ) You mean the translation of all? Or just the tenth? If at all, of course, I am willing to translate, but I need some time, but if only the tenth, they mean: Stephane have a very handsome and charming face. About magazine, unfortunately, my friend is sick, and very serious , so she can't help us, wish her a speedy recovery.

(The tenth one you mention is so true ... but certainly not the main reason for being named "Mr. Perfect" ). Of course, take your time ! Sad to read your friend is seriously sick . Wish her a speedy recovery too !

About this article, jomeku, I found that most of the reasons are from "Wikipedia" , in addition to the "tenth point"... 1. Perfect technology Lambiel can spin and jump in both counter-clockwise and clock-wise directions. He is able to do successive double axels, changing his rotation direction between each one, although it can’t win more points in the rules, but his talent and coordination was stunning... 2. Great artistic appealThe famous coach Alexei Mishin called him an "outstanding artist and spins genius”, interpretation of many different styles of songs in his competitive career, whether it is magnificent of "King Arthur", fascinating and charming of "Poeta", or passion of "Four Seasons", his interpretation was appropriate and perfect. After retiring, Lambiel has been choreography for his own performances, no longer confined to the rules, his performance also bring more and more appealing. This year's Amazing on ice, he brings two completely different styles of art performances, "Gone too soon" beautiful, sad, "Poeta" has a strong exotic, and flamenco dance is very classic. Many years, for an understanding of program content, he continued assisted in designing his own costumes... 3. The distinctive personal characteristicsWhether art or technique, his personal characteristics are very distinctive. He has another title "Prince of spin," highly skilled in his spin and edges, and created a lot of different spin, so far there are still many skaters imitate his spin in the game. 4. Brilliant careerHe is a two-time World Champion, a two-time Grand Prix Champion and a nine-time Swiss national champion, he is also the first Swiss man to win Olympic figure skating medalist since 1948. 5. Powerful charismaIn the competitive world of sport, Lambiel always maintain a good relationship, he invited many good friends to participate in his own show, from the first year of Yagudin, Joubert, Carolina, this year's Mao Asada, Volosozhar / Trankov, perfect cast shows Lambiel and friends have a good friendship. 6, Good to communicateLambiel is definitely a favorite of reporters interviewed; his thoughts clearly, and be good at telling stories. He always can clearly express his thoughts. Lambiel has a great talent for language, a native speaker of French, also speaks Portuguese, High German, English and learning Italian. 7, With great business senseLambiel has many sponsors in Switzerland. In 2007, he designed a Swiss watch called the Spin Master. Lambiel's sponsors included Ford Motor Company, Hublot and Swisscom. In 2014, he produced his own show "Ice Legends", and got a big success. 8. Caring and social responsibilityLambiel supports Moi pour Toit, an NGO involved in building homes and schools for the deprived children of Colombia. He has worked as an ambassador of SOS Children's Villages, visiting the villages in Korea and Vietnam. 9, Smoothly in transitionRefer to part of "Work as choreographer and coach" Including another interview is similar: Figure skating is my everything mp.weixin.qq.com/s?__biz=MjM5MDUxMjI1Mg==&mid=2649829275&idx=1&sn=817c21f66f142ae020991b3601d762f0#rd
