Start of the 2021-2022 Olympic Season Inspiration: Stephane Lambiel part 2

During the 2010 Olympic season, reigning Olympic silver medalist Stephane Lambiel, came to Vancouver with this fantastic short program to "William Tell Overture" by Gioachino Rossini. The footwork sequence is my favorite part. Stephane's creativity, musicality, and passion is what makes him one of skating's most talented artists and athletes.

Start of the 2021-2022 Olympic Season Inspiration: Stephane Lambiel part 1

I'm a few minutes away from tuning in to the first event of the 2021-2022 Olympic Skating season. As I look toward the season ahead, I can't help but recall some of the great Olympic seasons of the past. In 2006, following his silver medal at the Torino games, Stephane Lambiel delivered one of his finest, most exciting freeskates to the dynamic "Four Seasons," by Vivaldi. Skating head-to-head with French Champion Brian Joubert, Lambiel rose to the occassion and clinched his second-straight victory in this emotionally-charged win. This program has everything: difficulty, unique choreography, blurred spins, and intensity.
