Thin Ice Finale

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 16:00:27 GMT

Shizuka and Stéphane finished 3rd on Sunday in the Thin Ice Finale, performing to Beyoncé’s “Get Me Bodied”.

On Friday, the judges placed them 4th. However, on Sunday it was announced that they won the public vote, so they went into the finale as the second best ranked couple after Marie-France & Michael and before Shae-Lynn & John, Jamie & Patrice and Elena & David.

On Sunday it was the judges’ marks and the ballroom’s audience’s votes that counted. Due to some technical problems, the audience voting didn’t work (despite three successful rehearsals) and eventually only the judges’ marks could be taken into account.

Thus the final placement is as follows:

Marie-France Dubreuil & Michael Weiss
Shae-Lynn Bourne & John Zimmermann
Shizuka Arakawa & Stéphane Lambiel
Jamie Salé & Patrice Lauzon
Elena Berezhnaya & David Pelletier

We’d like to thank everybody who voted online for Shizuka and Stéphane after Friday’s show. They were given a hard time by the judges for not doing enough pair skating, but we’re very happy to know that so many people enjoyed their programs all the same. They’ve worked very hard and loved working together.

Stéphane has now returned to Switzerland and will be working on a new exhibition program with Salome Brunner this week. On Monday he will travel to Russia where he will skate in two exhibitions. From there he will go to Stockholm and Osaka for further shows.

Thin Ice

Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:14:29 GMT

Yesterday, the first live show of ABC’s Thin Ice was aired. Shizuka and Stéphane performed very well to Magic Touch by Robin Thick and Mary J. Blidge. Shizuka even landed a 3Salchow-2Toeloop-2Loop combination and Stéphane did a 4 Toeloop. The three judges, Kristi Yamaguchi, Katarina Witt and Dick Button, liked it but criticized the fact that they didn’t skate much together. However, the story of the routine is to pass the magic touch to each other so they can perform their highlight individually.

The judges each gave them an 8. This places them 4th at the moment; this doesn’t include the votes from the TV viewers.

The ranking after the judges’ votes:

Marie-France Dubreuil & Michael Weiss
Shae-Lynn Bourne & John Zimmermann
Jamie Salé & Patrice Lauzon
Shizuka Arakawa & Stéphane Lambiel
Elena Berezhnaya & David Pelletier

The voting is over but the result won’t be revealed until the show on Sunday. The skaters will know only a few minutes before they go on the ice where they placed. The second show will be aired at 7pm EDT. Only the judges and the audience will be able to vote this time.

Stéphane would like to take this opportunity to thank his two fans who sent him the beautiful flowers last night. Merci beaucoup !

Stéphane Lambiel will dedicate himself to shows

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:08:46 GMT

When the Olympic Games ended, Stéphane Lambiel didn't take a single day off but performed in 8 shows for Art on Ice, this year's edition starring US singer Anastacia. A special encounter and magical moments shared with the audience in Zürich and Lausanne, wonderful experiences which could only enforce Stephane's growing desire to devote himself more and more to shows.

For the Swiss skater, one of the highlights of 2010 will without doubt be entering the Olympic stadium carrying the red and white flag for his national delegation. Although he didn't come back from Vancouver with the coveted gold medal, Lambiel is still very satisfied with his Olympic adventure and looks back positively on his personal route, made only more valuable by the obstacles that lay across it. “It was through these Olympics that I developed the discipline to take care of myself seriously”, he adds. “A year ago, I was hoping to be able to come back to the highest level. My only goal was to compete in Vancouver; I came back for the Olympics and for the Olympics only. It was my choice and I have absolutely no regrets. I’m extremely satisfied that I was able to fight as I did.” Indeed, in spite of a recurring adductor injury that forced him to retire from competing in October 2008, Stéphane announced his comeback in July 2009: he still had an Olympic dream for which he was ready to do anything, whatever his level of fitness. Thanks to his determination and the best possible team surrounding him, Lambiel enthusiastically took up the challenge he had set himself, and can now look at his brilliant career with pride, and also start thinking about the future.

“This chapter of my life is now behind me and I’m very happy and proud of everything I was able to fulfil during my career as a competitive skater. Now it’s time for me to show the rest of the world what I have inside me, it’s time to show the artist in me and I will continue to skate as long as my body allows me to.”

A new page awaits the young man who will celebrate his quarter-century in a couple of weeks. A time for Stéphane to seize the opportunity to follow a dream nearly as old as he is: to develop his talent, share it around the world, with no restraints due to rules and regulations, and this for the love of art only. “Figure skating is my life and I want to share that with all of you.” Let's therefore wish him a long life in show skating, for our very own pleasure.

バンクーバー後の予定

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:26:43 GMT

バンクーバー五輪のエキシビションに出演し、閉会式に出席した後のステファンの今後の予定をお知らせします。

ステファンは3月1日に他のスイス選手団とともに帰国します。3月2日の朝サラ・マイアーとともにチューリッヒに到着後すぐに「Art On Ice」のリハーサルに入り、3月4日にショー初日を迎えます。チューリッヒで4公演、ローザンヌで2公演が予定されています。

その後3月11日に渡米し、荒川静香さんと組んでABCの「Thin Ice」に出演します。これはプロ競技会で12人のスケーターがペアを組み、対決するというもので、元フィギュアスケーター、そして会場の観客によってジャッジされるというイベントです。この模様は3月19日、21日に放送が予定されています。

3月下旬にはロシアに飛び、30日にサンクトペテルブルグ、31日にはモスクワでのショーに出演します。その後スイスに戻ることなくスウェーデン・ストックホルムに向かい、4月2日に行われる「World's Best on Ice」に出演します。以降、ドイツ、東ヨーロッパ、アジアでのアイスショーに数多く出演する予定です。出演予定は随時当サイトにてお知らせします。

また、ステファンは3月にイタリア・トリノで行われる世界選手権には出場しません。

バンクーバー五輪－失意の4位

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:15:41 GMT

辛い試合運びとなった男子フリー。ステファンは0.51ポイント差でメダルを逃しました。

ショートプログラムと同様ステファンは序盤の4回転トウループに苦戦。コンビネーションにする予定が単独ジャンプになり、続くトリプルルッツの着氷もスムーズなものではありませんでした。2回目の4回転トウループはコンビネーションにしましたがセカンドジャンプは2回転にとどまるなど、ジャンプに手こずった結果、プログラム全体の流れに支障をきたしてしまいました。緊張でガチガチのステファンは私たちがこれまで見てきた彼本来の姿ではありませんでした。こわばった状態の彼を見ることになるとは予想もしていませんでしたが、誰よりもステファン自身が驚き、このような結果になったことを悔やんでいます。

ステファンはフリーでは162.09ポイントで3位となりましたが、SPで生じた高橋大輔選手とのギャップを埋めるには至らず、序盤の4回転ジャンプでの失敗があったもののその後見事に持ち直した高橋選手が総合では僅差でステファンをかわし銅メダルを獲得しました。

SPほどの勢いはなかったもののクリーンな滑りをみせたエヴァン・ライサチェクが逆転優勝。SP首位のエフゲニー・プルシェンコは4回転+3回転のコンビネーションを着氷するなど決して悪い出来ではありませんでしたが、前回大会に続く連覇は果たせず銀メダルにとどまりました。ライサチェクとプルシェンコのプログラム構成点は同点で、技術・実施の差が明暗をわける形となりました。ちなみに優勝、2位の2選手のプログラム構成点は、銅メダルの高橋選手（84.50）とステファン（83.60）よりも低くおさえられました。最終成績はこちら、そしてプロトコルはこちらからをご覧ください。

ステファン、諦めずに最後まで滑りきってくれてありがとう！私たちに勇気をくれました。27日のエキシビションではまた会場を熱狂させる演技を見せてくれることを期待しています。

ステファンの僚友サラ・マイアーが23日の女子ショートプログラムに登場します。25日のフリーとあわせ、会心の滑りを見せて欲しいものです。Good Luck!
