People who watched him there say that he was amazing even with mistakes and that he is better now than he was... And I believe them 'cause I like Stephan sooo much!Originally Posted by seniorita
i m not sure about costume -for competitions it looks too many things are there..
but stephan looks awesome and like a man ,not a boyAnd sooo glad that he is back!
I am quite sure that he will try it for later in the season. But I guess right now it's just important that he gets half of his jumps right, gets gifted with massive PCS and therefore will get the spot at the Olympics.
Stéphane doesn't have any Grand Prix events, for him the real season starts in the middle of January at Europeans, he doesn't need to skate well at Swiss Nationals in December either... So basically he has 5 months left to get in tip-top shape (probably including 3A attempts).
yes I wanted to ask, why they didnt gave him a spot in grand prix from TBA, he had not applied?
He did, but the countries filled them with their own skaters.
Right! I wonder if Stephane intends to spend any more time with Brian Orser to help work on his 3Axel. Hopefully, Orser can work some magic with Lambiel on the 3Axel a la Adam Rippon.
It still may be likely someone may withdraw and Lambiel could possibly receive an invitation to a Grand Prix.
A fall on the 4T means -4.8 GOE, no second jump on the combo and -1 off the total. That is a massive loss of points. A 2A, no matter how high the GOE, is also a hit in terms of the scoring. I don't care how good the rest of it is, or that it's an early season event; that score with those jumps is ludicrous, even for a skater of Stephane's talent.
who makes the decisions anyway??they should have asked me...
It was kind of expected though, he got similar scores at the Grand Prix events in 2007 for really really bad skates. Not that it is right though, and I would hate it if he won Europeans or an Olympic medal in front of e.g. a clean Brian Joubert, only because the ISU is (rightly) madly in love with him.
Is there a n o t h e r woman??
I think these scores more than anything for Stephane is a "welcome back!" from the judges. No matter the state of his jumps, there's no denying that Lambiel brings an elevated quality and difficulty in terms of spins, footwork, and program components when looking at the performance as a whole compared to many of the other skaters, particularly here at the Nebelhorn Trophy where there are no other BIG name skaters.

The fat skaters are major players, the underlined ones are the ones fighting for Olympic spots.
That doesn't look too bad. 40 on PCS for Stéphane, that is what Chan gets, too.
If you ask me - Ponsero got a much bigger present. 34 PCS with a TES of 22 points!

That's actually not true. Patrick Chan's best PCS in an SP - ever - was 38.60, and that was at 2009 4CC, where by all accounts he skated very well (though maybe not as well as his score indicates). When Chan is overmarked, it's usually the GOEs were the judges show their appreciation. 38 TES with a quad-fall, a 2A and a 3F (why not a 3Lz?) is, um, interesting.
Does anyone know how Brezina did? That's a very good score for him.
Well, for many (even judges) Lamibel is simply LOVE no matter how bad he skates
So nice to see him back!
I think we will only see a 3A out of Stéphane Lambiel when he absolutely has to. I don't know if he needs it for this competition. The costume...sigh. I guess some things never change.
