Chan stumbles, but still wins free skate at Liberty

World silver medalist debuts new Phantom of the Opera program
Patrick Chan struggled with his jumps, but he still enjoyed his program in Aston, Pa.

(07/19/2009) - The jumps aren't quite there yet, but, judging from Saturday's early-season skate at the Liberty Summer Competition, Patrick Chan's Phantom of the Opera promises to be spectacular.

"It was fun. Every time I fell, I would just get up and think, 'Who cares?' because it's the first time I've competed the program," said the two-time Canadian champion.

No one, except maybe Chan's coach, Don Laws, fixated on the skater's tumbles on a triple Axel, quad toe and some steps. They were too busy taking in the complexity of the skater's footwork and transitions, which were so difficult that Chan wasn't sure he could do them all at first.

"The third day we worked on the program, I told my choreographer, Lori Nichol, 'I don't know about this,' but I heard everyone talking about how amazing it looked, so now I'd hate to make big changes," he said.

"I do have to figure out the [circular] steps. I was late on them, and I've been late in all my practices, too. I have to talk to Lori about how to fix them."

The world silver medalist earned 127.46 points, including some 70.76 points for his program components. He fell on his first two jumps -- the triple Axel and quad toe -- before landing a triple flip-double toe combination.

Chan's quad attempt was a late addition. He hit a clean one in the six-minute warm-up and decided to put it in his program. Despite the fall, the skater got credit for rotating the attempt and earned five points.

"I just got up after the Axel and said why not," Chan said. "I've got to start trying the quad in competition, and what better place than this?"

Chan has nearly three months until his next event, Russia's Rostelecom Cup, plenty of time to refine the program and get more comfortable with the jumps. He plans to train it in three sections and will start to include the quad in his run-throughs.

Laws last led a skater to Olympic gold in 1984, when Scott Hamilton stood atop the podium. Now, more than a quarter century later, history may repeat itself.

"It's hard to think about anything like that," Laws said. "It's another era -- no, maybe it's the second era since Scott's time. The demands on the men are extraordinary. You have to show a quad, and all the triples, and Level 4 spins and footwork. Patrick gets the spins and footwork; he's still working on the quad."....

To me, it's working now... Try again later



I think he should train 3A before 4T

I dont know now if you already know it, but Stephane Lambiel wants come back too and wants go to Olympics too

Stéphane Lambiel wants another go at Olympic Games

Figure skater Stéphane Lambiel, 24, has decided to make a comeback into competitive sport. The Swiss: “I would like to qualify for the 2010 Olympic Games and achieve a top score in Vancouver.” The two-time World Champion (2005 and 2006) retired from competitive skating in October 2008 due to an injury to his left adductor muscle which made training at full capacity impossible. The injury continues to bother him says Lambiel, but thanks to physical therapy the pain is now “manageable”.

Stéphane Lambiel did not hang up his skates following his retirement from competitive skating in October 2008. Quite the contrary. The Olympic silver medalist in Turin (2006) has been in regular training and care during the past months as well as an attraction at many skating exhibitions all over the world. Lambiel: “The joy I take in skating is still tremendous. I feel really good, both physically and mentally, and I am determined, downright eager, to take on the Olympic challenge and score a top result in Vancouver.”

Any fear of his former rival, the reigning Olympic gold medalist Evgeni Plushenko, who is also seeking to make his comeback in Vancouver? Stéphane Lambiel: “Certainly not! I’m fired up for another duel.”

Whether he will resume his “second career” after the Olympics, if his qualification run is successful, the Swiss is not yet certain. “Right now I’m concentrating on Vancouver, what happens afterwards is written in the stars.”

Lambiel will train with his long-time coach Peter Grütter and alone for the Olympic qualification. “I will be going to Geneva twice a week to Mister Grütter. I’ll be doing all other training sessions without a coach, but looked after by my physical therapist Majda Scharl at home in Lausanne.”

Until now Stéphane Lambiel has not rehearsed a new short program. The free program is an enhancement of his Tango program, which he choreographed shortly before his retirement.

As yet Switzerland has no assured starting position for the men’s figure skating competition at the Winter Olympic Games. Stéphane Lambiel can secure this position if he wins one of the first six spots at the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, (24 - 27 September). To make the Olympic team Swiss Olympic further requires the winning medalist to obtain 195 points two times. Lambiel’s best performance at the Grand Prix Final Turin 2008 came to 239.10 points.
Since he is not signed up for any of the Grand Prix Events in 2009, Lambiel will have to compete in other competitions before and after the Nebelhorn Trophy, including the Japan Open (1 - 3 October). Furthermore, in January he will participate in the 2010 European Figure Skating Championships in Tallinn.
In Switzerland Stéphane Lambiel will most likely only be seen in action before the Olympics at the Ice Gala “World’s Best On Ice” in Basel (19 December). He will also be seen in appearances at skating exhibitions in (August) and (December).

Tomorrow, Sunday, 26 July, Stéphane Lambiel will be flying to Toronto, for a two-week training camp. “In Coach Brian Orser’s group I have the best of conditions. Moreover, I have an excellent physical therapist in Marla Pichler who will be available to me in Toronto.”


*** The Olympic Winter Games 2010 are being held from 12 – 28 February in Vancouver. Men’s Figure Skating competition: 16 February (Short Program), 18 February (Free Program).

Lambiel plans Olympics comeback

Swiss figure skating champion Stéphane Lambiel has announced his return to the competitive arena, nearly a year after an injury forced him into early retirement.

The two-time world figure skating champion said he was preparing for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games qualifiers with his long-time trainer Peter Grütter.

"I feel really good, both physically and mentally, and I am determined, downright eager, to take on the Olympic challenge and score a top result in Vancouver," the 24-year-old said, in announcing the surprise comeback.

In October Lambiel said a lingering muscle injury had put a stop to his competitive career and that he would only be performing in exhibition galas. However, extensive physiotherapy has since enabled him to "control" any pain felt as a result of the injury.

He heads to Canada on Sunday for a two week training camp.

Lambiel won the world championships in 2005 and 2006, becoming the first Swiss world champion in 48 years, and took silver at the Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy
