Stéphane Lambiel and Guillaume Cizeron skating a duet full of raw emotion, artistry, and sensuality wasn't on my bingo card. This was so beautiful I cried. The world needs more of this!

Q. Who do you admire?
A. Stéphane. Not only his skating, I also like him as a person. When I see him at the rink side, he has a lot of passion, but he also has a lot of emotions. After Deniss skated his free skate, he was telling me encouraging words, but I could feel Stéphane's lack of energy. I told him, "I know Stéphane is down." and he said, "Cheer me up with your performance", so I'm glad he was happy after my free skate.

“Stephane has really allowed me to grow myself. And that is something unique about him as a coach, the way it should be. He has shared so much of the way to live, and find your way how to grow by yourself, not being told 'grow there, do that'.”
