I really should be studying right now, but...
Stephane Lambiel has called a press conference to talk about a "crucial change" in his figure skating career. He went back to Europe recently for an awards show and apparently has not returned to New Jersey.
Why is this so big? Well, speculation of course! The word on the street (meaning the rumor mill) is that Stephane has called the conference to announce his retirement. He didn't call a press conference when he changed coaches or anything (which was a HUGEEEEEE deal), so that can mean that his announcement is only bigger. He is not longer listed as a competitor at Skate Canada or Trophee Eric Bompard, so at the very least, he'll announce that he's pulled out of the Grand Prix (let's hope that that's it). He's been battling injury all summer, which probably means that he hasn't made much headway with the triple axel, but still!
To which I can only say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
The world wouldn't be so cruel as to take away both Jeffrey and Stephane in the same pre-Olympic season, would it?
