谢谢FSU的WindSpirit翻译: I like to consider myself an artist - Stephane, let's get back a few days. It's the morning before the free program. You learn that Plushenko has withdrawn from the competition because of an injury. Can you describe your feelings at that moment? - It's hard, but I'll try. Emptiness. I remained alone. The thing is, I need a strong opponent. Such as Plushenko. He's my idol. If he had stayed, I would've skated much better. It's not that interesting to compete with Brian Joubert. I can't say that my performance was not at all good -- after all I did two quads. But psychologically it was very hard for me. - During the men's finals the room was practically packed to the roof. You realize that the audience wanted someone else to become the champion. - Yes, it was another factor that I was worried about. When it was announced that Plushenko had withdrawn, I too, like everyone else, heard the indignant rumble [in the room]. I got this awful feeling that people would boo me. But then I saw someone holding the Russian flag with the inscription, "Viva Lambiel." And I realized that the public might like me. And I think I accomplished that; the audience liked my performance. - A year ago at the World Championship in Dortmund, you didn't skate worse than the bronze medalist, Stefan Lindemann, or even the silver one, Joubert. Yet you didn't stand on the podium, what many considered a big mistake. Do you think that your victory in Moscow is, in a way, a compensation for the previous injustice? - Most likely it is. In the world of figure skating everything is interconnected. [But] It's good that I was fourth, and not third. Otherwise I might've been sitting here with a silver medal and not gold. - If we go with that logic, aren't you afraid that at the Olympics the judges will treat you as someone who has already received his share? - And what to be afraid of? What will happen, will happen. Before the Olympics I have a load of work to do. For example, [I have to] improve the triple axel, which I didn't manage to do here, in Moscow. [I want to] Spin faster. Still, going to the Olympics as a World Champion will be more enjoyable than as not. - About the spins. In the world Switzerland is known for its watches, cheese and chocolate, and among figure skating fans - for the phenomenal spinners on the ice. It's sufficient to mention the names of Denise Biellmann, Lucinda Ruh and -- don't take it as flattery -- Stephane Lambiel. How do you do it? - Can't you guess? We eat the best chocolate in the world, and then, let's spin! But seriously, it's all about practice. At least when it comes to me. I can't say it's a gift from above. I've learned how to do it. Take Irina Slutskaya's Biellman - she's learned very-well how to do it. So there's no secret here. - Three years ago at the European Championships, you became the main revelation of the event thanks to your spins. But "specialists" claim that without jumps a male skater can't become a champion. You've learned how to jump rather quickly; in about two years. Wouldn't you like to thank someone for that? - I would, and you know whom (smiles). Indisputably, Alexei Mishin helped me a lot. He made me look at training with new eyes. Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to raise to the top so quickly, but I'd like to note that I put a lot of work into it myself. And my coach, Peter Grutter, helped me as much. - What exactly did Mishin's help consist of? [Was is] Technique or psychology? Did he make you wear his famous "vest"? - No, I worked with the Professor without any special accessories like, for instance, Grutter uses. Mishin was giving me "pointwise hits" - he'd tell me right away what I was doing wrong; which components needed to be corrected. He has t |
