Stephane Lambiel visited Kazakhstan
It's an article about it from a local newspaper (all hail google translate, but I've tried to make it more or less readable).
Astana and Almaty, using diplomatic language clichés, was visited by one of the best skaters of the last decade, the Swiss Stéphane Lambiel. Two-time world champion, Olympic silver medalist for a few days spent in our country felt the charm of fanboying Kazakh style and has participated in unplanned presentation. The correspondent of "Megapolis", communicated with the athlete, who is considered a cult in his homeland, and became convinced that the star status and ease of communication is not always located on different poles of the everyday’s life.
"And, ahhh, Stefan! Kam on pliz autograph! "- squees a tiny girl in a wonderful outfit who is already well warmed up on the rink. The Swiss skater with astonishment is looking at the child, apparently marveled at the mysterious child's organism, who’s such a brittle body, could extract such heart-rending sounds, and once again signed a hastily shoved paper. He had grown accustomed.
Stephane Lambiel was in Kazakhstan suddenly. Originating in the winter, and the expression "like snow on the head" (out of blue) could be applied perfectly. But ... in February, the Swiss tried to win another medal at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, March, April and May held by participating in various ice shows, and went on vacation until June. By the time he befriended the lead Kazakhstan's skater - Denis Ten and unexpectedly agreed to his invitation to visit Astana and Almaty.
The capital was still quiet. Covered arena, good ice, minimal attention, he still needed to relax!
- We went to the city and talked with Denis, that here we would like to live - Lambiel was handing out compliments to Astana. - But when we went for an evening stroll, Ten was bitten by mosquitoes. Somehow I escaped this fate, but Denis seriously "got haermed"
If in Astana, the presence of Stephen passed almost unnoticed, in Almaty, everything turned out quite differently. Skaters were unexpectedly found by fans in the airport, and they began to demand "to share a star”. To sum it up: unscheduled autograph session on the ice of one of mall south to the capital.
Stephane Lambiel long and firmly integrated into the international figure skating, and for the last five years it has been absolutely impossible to imagine any more or less serious competition without his participation. He is loved by audiences and respected by judges. It’s like one joke on the Internet, caused by the arbitration irrational generosity . "Judges know that in the other world they’ll be held accountable for poor ratings for Stephane. If Plushenko (I C U, bitches) - the phenomenon of jumping, then Lambiel - a cultural phenomenon. "
... He still skated on a tiny, tiny ice of mall’s rink and not more than for a minute performed his magic spins. At this time few admiring spectators were hurting their hands with clapping. Then young skaters, along with their parents began to attack the athlete.
Photo. Autographs. Again, photos, and another portion of autographs. Smiles. Lights flash and the rustling of pens. Regular, every second repeated attempts to grab an athlete for any suitable part of the body. Stephen, naturally, did not know, but all this madness bolelschitskoe described more Vysotsky. Where a "champion clay pigeon shooting" frustrated sweater otgryzli instantly watch and plates were stolen straight from the runway. "
Lambiel by word or gesture to express his dissatisfaction, and only when he managed to escape into the open air, to a small and friendly park, he was transformed.
Repeatedly expressing at least fifty compliments Denis Ten: "I very much hope that next year he will achieve greater success than I had, he will be a champion, as he deserves" - also Lambiel spoke about himself. Describing all the delights of skating, he effectively used the word «passion». Passion. "I love this sport very much. This is my life, you understand I did not expect that in Kazakhstan I have so many fans. It's worth years of work, isn't it?"
He did not change when the interview ended, and before leaving a little time and it should pass with journalists. Stephen is not closed, not inflated self-righteous champion toad (which necessarily would make five out of ten of our sports stars!), And continues to communicate, as before.
- What do I think about your kitchen? Look at me! It seems that a few days I added a dozen pounds. We ate a very tasty dish "besch-pairs-max", but it is very, very nutritious.
- Will I root for Team Switzerland at the World Cup? Of course! But much stronger than I worry about tennis player Roger Federer. It is not only a brilliant athlete, but also an amazing person.
- And, by the way, where do you have yurts? I just had read that in Kazakhstan, they have yurts. But neither in Almaty, Astana, nor I saw them ...
He eagerly talks about culinary and sport life topics. But he changes, when it again comes to figure skating.
- People ask me what I'll do next. I’m going to work with skaters, make programs for many of them. I’m going to participate in ice shows, continuing to go on the ice. I can not throw all this away. Figure skating is - my life.
