Stéphane Lambiel gave me his reaction to the news that Daisuke Takahashi will compete from next year as an ice dancer.
ステファン・ランビエールからアイスダンス転向を発表した #高橋大輔 くんに激励のメッセージです😊

Sensei almost had a heart attack during the competition, but finally calmed down and composed himself. Deniss said, “Of course I am happy, but I am more hungry.”
Two of my favourite skaters. Was overwhelmed to see them skating at the same international competition again, after many unfortunate seasons with Sota’s injuries. Keep going guys. You are both gifted stars.

Always feel privileged to gift a copy of a magazine to a person who I interviewed. So much appreciation for giving me their precious time and sharing their honest thoughts 😊

It’s been five years. Hard to believe. Can remember exactly how shocking it was to hear that he had passed. Still so sad and the skating world truly misses him. Here is the tribute I wrote five years ago.

#山本草太 選手の滑りを生で見るのは7年ぶり。2015-16年シーズン以来でした。私ですらこんなに震えたのだから熱心に応援してこられた方々の喜びは容易に想像できます。
“Anyone who follows your career will definitely understand the meaning behind this program”
と会見でお伝えしました😊
Never thought I would see such a great change in any skater in such a short time and totally reborn. What a magical four minutes.

Feels like it was such a long time ago. Realised he has achieved so many things in the last four years. Wishing him all the success as a skater and a human being. Happy 23rd birthday!✨

Seeing Wakaba skate her best was worth the trip to Grenoble. I had forgotten what it was like to be so moved that your whole body shakes. Huge congratulations. You are amazing.

A lot happened in the last three years to these three guys. Nice to see them all skating again in the same international competition. Three years is a long time when you are young. Now the boys are becoming men 😎.

Today’s marks the fourth anniversary of Denis Ten being taken away from us. Here is the tribute that I wrote about him four years ago. Still so hard to believe he is gone.

Tried to remember the programs that made me smile. This SP and FS will always come to mind as soon as I think about it. There’re probably better jumpers and better spinners than he is, but there’s something I cannot explain about what makes him such a special skater. #髙橋大輔
Even if this is a chartered flight, this is incredibly tone deaf to not follow Covid-19 inflight safety protocols and a real slap in the face to those of us who have lost people in this pandemic. Extremely disappointed in this behaviour.

Had a great interview with the two-time Grand Prix de France men’s champion. Such a great and humble guy. Stay tuned for the article coming soon.

Success as a junior doesn’t always translate to success as a senior. We’ve seen these two overcome their struggles. We are privileged to be able to see them still competing at the highest level. Good luck with the rest of the season!

My highlight from the first half was these. 🇮🇱

made history at these Olympics with having two entries in the men’s event. Huge respect to Alexei Bychenko’s career and looking forward to Daniel Samohin’s young talent developing. Well done!✨

Big thank you to the Reed family for giving us the opportunity to say good bye and thank you to Chris. I hope he realised he accomplished more than he thought and gave us unbelievable joy more than he knew. It was a beautiful ceremony. He will be truly missed.
