WELCOME!

Dear fans,

Welcome to my Journal!

The reason why I’ve decided to keep a journal is because I would like to share with you what’s going on in my life; I hope you’ll find it interesting, maybe even exciting. ;)

At the moment I’m practising every day for one hour in Geneva and it’s going very well. The rink in Geneva will be closed from next week on, though, so I will have to relocate my trainings to Villars.

I’ve been spending this weekend in Valais and yesterday I had a great day skiing in the mountains. Here are some pictures (the quality is very bad cause I took them with my cell phone…*lol*).

Showing Off!

I’m very excited about flying to LA tomorrow and I will update you about what’s going on over there. I’m looking forward to watching the competition and I believe it’s going to be a very interesting championships.

xoxo

Stéphane

  20. From Franziska

    Hello Stéphane
    When I read about going to the beach, I remembered my interrail trip (years ago) with a really short night in the train – after that night we tried to get some sleep on the beach. Hope you could also get some sleep to be ready for watching the competitions.
    I’ll open a fine bottle of vine, du Valais c’est sûr, à ta santé Stéphane, and enjoy the Paso Doble, like this dance very much.
    Greetings Franziska

  21. From Audrey

    Quelle bonne surprise !!!! Avoir des nouvelles de toi, et PAR toi !!!! c extra !!!! (et en plus ça va m’obliger à revoir mon anglais :D que demander de plus?? :) )
    Merci beaucoup pour cette formidable initiative.. Tu as une fois de plus illuminé ma journée… Je me réjouis de pouvoir te lire régulièrement … Passes un bon séjour à LA, peut-être te filmeront-ils dans les gradins et tu pourras nous faire un coucou (de coccinelle) ;) La glace sera vide sans toi… prends bien soin de toi surtout.. plein de gros bisous, on t’aime..

  22. From mamima

    Hellloo! :D
    I won’t be orginal, the idea with journal is just fantastic! Now when we see you only during galas but no more as a competitor with the thrill of competitions, is great to have a contact with you like this! :) Besides till now, we watched or read interviews about you, so now it’s even more exciting when we can read something FROM you :D As Biedronka did it, I also invite you to Poland, my country :) You were almost here in 2007 and now it’s also so close, think about it ;)
    PS. Your trousers reminds me your lovely hat from Zagreb ;D

  23. From Victoria

  38. From Yuki

    I’m very happy to hear from you. Thank you so much.
    I was very surprised when I heard that you are going to go to L.A. to see the World championship! Because you are the most outstanding skater, not a spectator. But I think you will enjoy and get a new point of view about figure skating in L.A. You are so young, talented, open-minded and very charming man that you can make your own dream true through your experiences. And I have to say that your pictures made me happy.
    I am looking forward to reading your journal soon!

    DEAR STEPHANE!

    YOUR JOURNAL!!! -

    It’s the most exciting present from you, I believe, for those who feel sad about your skating absence in the starting Worlds!

    My sincere best wishes to you in this delightful project! Have lots of fun with it! By the way, it gives a pretty share of adrenaline to write a journal! ;)

    Looking for your impressions impatiently!
    The photos are very nice, too. THANK YOU :) )

    MERCI BEAUCOUP!

  45. From Jane Spears

    Sad you won’t be skating in competitions anymore,but GLAD you are HAPPY!!! I did daimoku for you the night before you announced retirement-of course it was for you to heal quickly (which I think it was bothering you a year before you actually admitted it hurt…) and for you to above all be happy! Talk about quick cause and effect! Now that you have more time(ha-ha) Please write an autobiography (with pix of course), do a calendar,make a dvd of your favorite programs, and please stay safe,healthy and happy! Thanx for letting all of your fans know whats going on! Hopefully you’ll skate in the pro competitions (if they bring them back;)xoxo junglejane

    What a great starting!!!
    Thank for your journal.
    Have a nice trip. Take care of yourself.

  58. From Andrea

    Hey Stephane,

    Valais looks so beautiful. I am (hopefully) going to be in Zurich this October. I may have to take a side trip to see Valais for myself. :o )

    Looking forward to reading your journal, especially all about the upcoming World Championships in L.A. I guess it will be a very different experience for you to enjoy it as a spectator.

    I read that you may be coming to Canada for a show. If you do come to Canada, I hope to attend the show as I have not yet seen you skate in person.

    I really like your new Tango program and would love to see it performed live.

    Take care and have fun in L.A.

  59. From eunice

    The journal is an awesome idea.
    Ain’t I excited!! BTW, yes, the upcoming competition is going to be something to watch.
    Have fun in L.A.!!

    This shows that you really care about your fans :)

  64. From Alex & Anna

    I hope you have a good time in LA.

  66. From Aurica

    Wow, Stephane, I have a huge grin all over my face now: you actually started your own Journal, what a great idea! :)

    Well, as you’re going to visit LA and watch the competitions- whould you please be so kind and share your thoughts about it? Like, you know, skating level, new deas, costumes, music choice, (judgement system ;) )- anything you might find interesting to share? I’m sure many of us would love to read it. :)

    Have a save trip!

    BTW, the pics are beautiful! :)

  74. From Tanya

    Stéphane, I can’t believe you’re starting a journal! Another step to have “everyone knowing everything because of internet”. But for your fans it’s great news. Thank you!

    Good luck in LA!

    MONIKA

  77. From Glance

    Hey, Stephan!!! You started a great job ;) it’s a great pleasure to read your journal- I miss you so much (cuz you weren’t competing in European and World championship and it is the only time, when I can see you skating), so this is very important to me. I’m looking forward your new updates and I’m waiting maybe it will be possible to give you some questions :P
    By the way, Stephan, are you planing to take part in “hot ice” show with Margarita Drobezko & Povilas Vanagas? (I couldn’t wait and had to ask this quez xD)

  78. GREAT IDEA with your Journal, Stephane !!! I’m looking forward for news from you :) Enjoy championships in LA !!! They’ll surely be great, but still without you on the ice :( But, maybe they’ll show you in the audience during broadcast ;)

    P.S. Still and still inviting you to Poland !!! (you’ll be close to us in Czech and Slovakia…)

    ps.) All Zebras are looking forward to see you soon in Korea!! :D

  82. From Reut

    So you do go there eventually… it’ll be a bit sad to see you on tribunes knowing that we won’t see you skating…

    And, WOW, can’t believe that the person who is “scared, scared, scared” (c) of Internet started to write a blog. Way to go! And thank you. And enjoy in LA of course. :)
