Stephane Lambiel recently starting working as a choreographer on the ice. Among his students is Daisuke Takahashi, the current World Champion---in the Eishalle in Duebendorf.

More than a few ice skaters were amazed this week, as they went to training in the ice rink in Duebendorf – unexpectedly, two world stars are training here too. The current, Japanese World Champion, Daisuke Takahashi stayed for a week with a small delegation in Glattal. The goal of his visit was the preparation of a new program for the coming season. The 24-year-old made an agreement with the two-time Swiss World Champion Stephane Lambiel (25), to pull Stephane from Valais to be a choreographer for his new short program.
Lambiel, as the skater who made the strongest impression in the last few years, feels good about the new role, which seems cut out for him. “At a tour in Japan this spring, Daisuke and I had the idea, that I should make a short program for him,” explained Lambiel.
A Possible Choreography Career
“I was recently in Kazakhstan and I rehearsed a program with Denis Ten. Richt now, I can’t work with any more students. I have too many appointments. But in the future, a career as a choreographer is in the realm of possibility,” Stephane Lambiel gives away.
His attitude towards his new job is typical for the nine-time Swiss Champion: “I’m not doing this for the money. For me, the passion must come from a runner [?]. Otherwise, it wouldn’t work.”
No Competitions, but Training
In contradiction to the widely-reported news that Stephane Lambiel has retired from ice skating, there needs to be a correction: “I haven’t given a reason for stepping back. I have only said that next season I’m not going to be at Euros in Bern and won’t be competing in other competions.” In fact, that he is not currently eligible for competition is actually due to a special reason: “I’m not taking part in the doping program now. That would also be difficult/complicated, [because] I am always traveling.”
But Lambiel remains in training. “Until May, I was still training jumps. Then I took a break from jumping. Soon, I will take up that training again.”
Basically, it looks like indeed no comeback to competition for Lambiel. One knows, however, that the West-Swiss man is always good for a surprise.
Richt now, I can’t work with any more students. I have too many appointments.  |
