Recently, so many new info about Johnny or something related to him is just coming constantly.
And I was shocked to hear that one of Johnny’s competitor Stephane Lambiel ( from Switzerland ) who was a two time world champion is going to work with Johnny’s coaches Galina and Victor Petrenko this season.
He will move to ( or has already moved ) NJ, U.S.A from his hometown Switzerland.
As a Johnny fan, this news didn’t make me happy.
Lambiel has been struggling with his jumps especially for 3A and quad combo past years, and I heard some people started talking Lambiel is going to retire and will not be in next Olympics.
He must be hard and really wanted to fix his jump technique for Olympics.
Johnny's beauty
But … thinking from Johnny’s side, One of the reason Johnny decided to work with Galina team was they can always check and see his skating.
And after his successful last season, Galina/Petrenko received application from the top skater…
I was upset to hear about that in the beginning , but soon I realized that they are doing business, so of course they don’t want to reject that applier especially from one of the world top skater.
I guess Galina and Petrenko has an idea without ruin Johnny’s plan and his goal when they accepted Lambiel’s application. ( well, at least I hope so ).
Also Lambiel may have good impression to Johnny.
Lambiel sounded like a difficult person, very sensitive for many ways even small things , and according to his coaches, we need to know when to talk to him.
That may be one of the reason, whenever I heard Stephane’s attitude to his fans .. Some fans say he was cold, and rude when they met him...
But once Lambiel started to work with Galina/ Petrenko , they will not let him to get his way.
I’m very happy to be a Johnny fan , he is always so sweet , and he cares so much for his fans. Very unusual.
I love to watch Lambiel’s skating, but.. I realized that I have no special feeling for him as a person.
I could careless if this was not about Johnny’s coaches ,whether Lambiel started work with Joubert’s coaches or Daisuke’s coaches.
Another shocking news,
Evan Lysacek who is considered as Johnny’s main rival is going to work with Tatiana Tarasova who is a Johnny’s mentor as his choreographer.
Lysacek who is a macho guy is trying to do elegant, lyrical style next season ??
According Lysacek’s interview, he says he wants to refresh his style next season and want to try something different.
But …. I can not imagine how he will try Tarasova style ??
After Lambiel’s strange coaching change story, this is another shocking news for me.
I hope Johnny is fine. Tarasova is a Johnny’s mentor and I’ve heard that Johnny sometimes talk with her on the phone , but since she started work with Evan ( choreography ), I wonder how she will comment about them in Russian TV next season.
My personal hope for Johnny’s new program music is something emotional passionate violin music which has ups and downs.
Not only sentimental slow piano music.
He says his SP music will be Saint-Preux's. Seems like it beautiful, sentimental, and romantic one…
