He is such a modest, nice and funny guy with a sparkling personality. It's impossible not to love him. He's just perfect. Wonderful interview! Thanks!!

his love of skating is so infectious!

Such a humble guy, watched his program this summer, totally on a different level, pure art.

My sister was right, Stéphane is such a sweetheart and an amazing figure skater. I wish I would have watched him in action in the early 00s when she told me to do so. It's wonderful to watch him being interviewed, his capacity to speak so many languages and not to change his voice at all is just amazing :)

I miss you so much Stephane. I miss those days when I had someone to root so hard for, and that time when I screamed from the top of my lungs as I watched you win Worlds in 2006. I've loved your skating since 2003 and I forever will.

Stephane is such an incredible PERSON, not just an Olympian skater and coach. He inspires me and I don’t even skate!

It's always a pleasure to watch Stephane's inerviews. I admire him as a figure skater and as a person.

I'm so, so glad that you were finally able to interview Stephane! He's such a great talent. Bravo!

Best 'interview' I've heard with/by Stephane: so articulate, thoughtful, passionate about what he does; clarity of the realities of the sport; love what he says about continuing to learn, teaching, doing choreography, expressing feelings through "free" artistry but absolutely learning the basics first. No wonder he has continued to grow as an artist. Plus, not all athletes speak well/clearly/can articulate their thoughts and feelings, but Stephane is one of the rare exceptions (and in multiple languages). I can understand why he would be such a great teacher/mentor. I wish he would come to the U.S. to perform, but in the meantime I'm thankful that his fans continue to video his programs in Europe so that I can watch him. I always thought the music just flowed through his entire body; and I always thought he is, at 30, an even better (more mature, sophisticated, elegant, interesting) skater than when he was younger (and, as he says, "wilder"), although some of his 3005 & 2006 WC performances were electrically exciting. But the fact that he now has superb control over his artistry reinforces what I always thought: that after he retired, he became an even better and more inventive, interesting skater, and one who continues to grow in his artistry.

+lauramartha3 I absolutely agree with you. He is a combination of sincere openness and tactful atitude to the personal life of his and other people he had worked with. He is so rich: elegant, intelligent, thankful, tender...and wild, musical and technical, amiable and guarded. And charged with the beauty of the Swiss Alps.

I didn't know that someone can be SO perfect. Thanks Stephane for breaking the stereotypes. I was amazed by him talking about Carolina and other skaters...He definitely loves figure skating from all his heart, he's a true artist, a true figure skater with amazing personality. Thank you for just being YOU! Hope you'll be skating as long as possible.

IMIZASEB LPJ for me too! He’s a legend 😉

Awww 😍I just discovered this interview and i think it’s the best interview/video I’ve ever seen on youtube. Honestly Stéphane was my first ever real crush as a teenage girl, this brings back sooo many memories... Now I’m gonna go through all the programs he talked about and rewatch them... What a great personality and of course skater he is... how can anyone not love him??? ❤️⛸

His English is so great! I love Stephane

I absolutely loved this interview. He's such a delight.

This interview is a delight thank you guys, I just discovered a few months a go, and for me as a fan of Steph Is a real treat ❤️

If you can believe this....I just discovered Stephane Lambiel with, "Don't Stop the Music," 2011 version. It is still one of my favorites because it introduced me his genius as an artist. His ability to interpret music and skate as though he and the music are one is mesmerizing. And then of course, he is so generous with his emotions. He is not afraid to display everything he is feeling. To experience this beauty of expression coming from a man is beyond words. There are so many reasons to adore Stephane Lambiel. He is the whole package. He is a gift to the ice skating world. He has been elevated by the ice skating establishment because of this. His success will only continue to increase to greater heights now that he is coaching. Already I am seeing beautiful skating in his students and he's only into his sixth year. Bravo Stephane. I wish you continued success. You have worked so very hard and you deserve it. No Olympic gold medal could ever compare to all you have achieved since your retirement from competition.

He is the heart of this sport ♥️ I admire him so much since God knows when. So talented, humble and handsome guy. He will always be the best. I've always think about him as a gift from God. It's such a pleasure to watch his performances, specially Don't stop the music and You're beautiful... my favorites

My eternal and endless admiration has been flung to Stephane. No doubt a blessed artist on ice, but also a shining and sharing person...he is such an inspiration, such a positive and open young man which is most valuable. .

Thank you for the beautiful interview. It was excellent!

OMG, I looooove Stéphane! He's my all time favorite skater! So happy with this interview!

Beautiful land ( was there this summer.. incredible!) , beautiful skating and a beautiful person, inside and out.

Stéphane is a great interview! Such a talented skater!

What a great interview to listen to . Long interview but it went by really fast. Well done!

A special talent and such a soft spoken, gentle type of soul. He has aged quite well and that accent... well, Parabens... just... Parabens! (swoon)

Finally opened my Christmas present from 2015 - I LOVE IT - THANK YOU!!!!

He is such a sweetheart.

Great interview. I love, love, *love* Stéphane. Stayed up way too late to listen to this and will probably listen again in a few days.

Lambiel the BEST...will watch all his performances now. subbed

What a charming guy. A real Swiss diplomat. I was intersted to her him say near the end that in the current system that the jumps are what bring the score.

Thank you for making and posting this interview!

Jen & Dave, glad you haven't interviewed Jill and Bob the last month or so!!!! We needed something else than them!!!!!

Well said. It's that very vocabulary (or lack of) that distinguishes good skaters and the great.

His flamenco program is one of my favorites.

Awesome interview ... At 53:40 -- Absolutely loved how he said, "I don't know. I prefer to be a world champion than a European champion." :D

Thank you

@@imizaseblpj2308 Han pasado tres años, y puedo asegurarte que mi cariño hacia él sigue siendo igual, he aprendido más cosas de él, del patinaje, del mundo. Puedo decir que a comparación de hace 3 años, mi inglés mejoró (no demasiado, pero voy por más) puedo decir que el patinaje y él me dan la fuerza y motivo para traspasar la barrera del idioma.💙

@@stefanynikiforov7121 me encanta saber que poco a poco vas empezando a traducirlo, sobre todo porque lo conocerás mejor y lo admirarás más. yo soy fanática de él, de Plushenko y de Candeloro, a este último lo "conocí" ya tarde pero me encanta el carisma que tiene al patinar, de Plushenko me fascina su técnica, pero de Lambiel es todo: técnica, carisma, arte, siempre se unen él, la música, el hielo, la gente, sus movimientos... creo que eso es justamente lo que lo diferencia de los demás, es alguien a quien sin importar lo que pase durante su actuación, lo amas.

Stéphane, I'd love to put a spin on your world and try a few new positions with you every day....

So articulate, intelligent and charming; all the opposite to Dave.
