Til the next time
I'm pretty sceptical of all "retirements" now official or not. So many came out of retirement for Vancouver that i'm not sure these statements mean much any more! (not that i'm expecting Lambiel to come back)

I think he means it this time.
Thanks, beautifully put, and ITA.We all knew this was going to happen, but still... It's extremely sad to imagine that we will never again see his spark in competition.
Even with mistakes on the jumps, he was always among the very best, and he will always be. For me, he is the best men's skater I've ever seen. No one can match his artistry, his intricate, yet passionate programs and performances and, most of all, his amazing spins. He moved me very deeply several times - he is a true artist, and a true champion. He is the closest I've seen to the "complete package", as he excels at steps, spins, moves in the field, and art. Figure skating will desperately miss him.
Thank you Stephane, for all the great moments, in galas as well as in competition.
I, too, am going to miss Stephane....his dance and passion were the best!!! He always made me want to smoke after I saw him skate.
