Stephane Lambiel Quotations

I was happy because I did my first triple axel of the season, and I also had a good quad combination.

I am going to enjoy this world championship. I didn't make the decision to come here until 10 days ago, so this means a lot to me. I am very proud that I came here and that I competed.

I can't make any mistakes. I need to skate a clean short and long program.

I was confident going into the axel, even though it didn't work so well in practice. When I fell, I tried to tell myself to just do the rest.

It is not the last opportunity to compete against him. There are the Europeans and then the Olympics. I will have time to beat him.

I think I can do my best with my knee, and I hope that I can do that. I am going to do my best with or without the injury.

This was a great program. I felt very confident. When I went out to skate, I didn't have any doubts.

When I went out to skate, I didn't have any doubts. The legs are always a bit shaky when you get out there but, the second the music starts, you don't ask yourself any questions and you just go for it.

It was never my best jump, everyone knows that. But I think it was a good try.

I'm going to fight. I have to check what's wrong for the free program.

I'm going to fight. I did a good short program, but the double axel was a big mistake. I have to check what's wrong for my free program. I have to do all the jumps, the spins and everything.

I know that behind me they're pushing hard. I'll have to fight to keep first place.

I know that behind me the others are pushing hard, I have to fight, to keep the first place.

I had to push myself harder and harder, and that's why I did the job. I just thought about my skating and not about the other skaters.

I'm very happy with my medal tonight. But I know I can do better. My performance was not so good.

I opened too early. I was confident the choreography was beautiful. In general, I'm really happy.

I am very proud of this world title. The first world was a nice surprise but it was harder to skate here because every skater wanted to beat me.
