In Beijing, St'ephane Lambiel is now the coach of a medal favourite.St'ephane Lambiel, Beijing are your second games as coach. Was it always clear to you that you would become a coach one day?
No, I couldn't have imagined that, especially when I was still a runner. I admired my coach Peter Gr"utter for his patience. I do not have them. For me, everything always has to work immediately. I thought it wasn't possible for me to go to the ice rink every day and develop something step by step with students.
When did it turn?
The time is different today. The older I got, the more my perspective changed - away from the athlete to the coach.
You're a double world champion, winning silver in Turin in 2006 and fourth in Vancouver in 2010, after which you retired. Was it just the shows for now?
Not only. I've also had the opportunity to teach seminars for the International and Japan Skating Federations. I realized how much fun it is to share the passion for figure skating. I really enjoyed it, it was interesting.
When did you start working with anyone on the ice?
Back in 2010, I wrote choreographies for Daisuke Takahashi, who won bronze in Vancouver, but also for Denis Ten, who came third in Sochi in 2014 (he died in a robbery in 2018, ed.). The shows, seminars and working with the runners meant a lot of freedom, I was able to try out a lot. And after a few years I knew that I really wanted to stay in figure skating, it's just in my blood.
How did your skating school in Champ'ery come about?
In 2014 I was in Sochi as a consultant for the IOC, where I also gave lectures. That's when I realized that nobody from Switzerland would run. That was a disappointment for me - after everything that Sarah Meier and I have achieved. And because I'm also a bit aggressive, I wanted to change that, and I wanted to do it now.
And immediately meant immediately?
Yes, Christopher Trevisan, with whom I have a company, and I decided that we would open a school. We started in 2014 with a summer camp, after that it was clear that we should continue.
Sarah Meier and you were exceptional talents. Were you sure that there is enough talent in Switzerland that just needs to be discovered?
I think we have a lot of talents. But it is difficult for each individual to find the right way that he can use his talent. Jumping to today, I find it so difficult to develop a passion in the Corona pandemic. Everything has gotten complicated. And I find it has become more difficult to dream. Figure skating has always triggered a lot of dreams for me - that's how I developed.
How has your school developed?
I had students straight away, not many, but that had the advantage that I was able to work a lot with them. For me it was important that I was in Valais and in a healthy environment. Now she is eight years old, the second Olympic cycle is already over. I'm very happy with how we did it.
Do you choose your students, or do they approach you?
you ask me. Everyone can come, but everyone can also leave. I don't tie anyone. Working with my top runners Shoma Uno, the bronze winner from Pyeongchang, or Deniss Vasiljevs and Koshiro Shimada, it all came naturally. Deniss listened to a presentation from me at the Youth Olympic Games in 2016, when I also organized my show in Geneva. When I then asked if anyone would like to run there, he was the only one who immediately raised his hand. Two weeks after the shows, his coach asked me to write the choreography for him. After an injury, he then switched to Champ'ery entirely.
How did the Japanese Shoma Uno find you?
That was very similar. I already knew Shoma Uno, I saw him live for the first time in 2012 at the Youth Olympic Games. The Japanese head of competitive sports introduced him to me and also asked if I would run the summer camps for the juniors for the Japanese association. I did that, Shoma and Koshiro were there. I immediately saw the potential of Shoma. We have always been in contact since then. In 2019 he separated from the trainer, tried it alone for more than half a year and then asked if he could come to Valais.
