Stéphane Lambiel - 2006 Skate Canada LP

I love how the commenter says “so he just has to sit backstage and hope the others make mistakes” and that’s EXACTLY what happened! And how he won this 😂

Alina it took me years to get used to the costume. I like watching Lambiel, but this cloth is sth wierd

It is Stephane's creative genius gone a bit crazy. He says his costumes are a little crazy like him. 😆 He's an eccentric, artistic genius. He says as he listened to Four Seasons he began to see a zebra running in the snow (hence the sparkly snowflakes on the costume). The zebra is trying to get back to a warm place. As it runs it suddenly begins to fly like a tropical bird (the colorful winged arms). When you take his storyline and add the costume, suddenly the choreography becomes quite beautiful. You have to remember Stephane is always telling a story when he skates. Now his final stretch of the arms towards the sky makes sense. The tropical zebra has taken to flight. Bravo Stephane! Bravo!
