Lambiel allowed to skate in Europeans exhibition in Bern!

[Sylvia]

I thought this was newsworthy enough to have its own thread in GSD (link was posted in the Articles thread in the Euros forum in Kiss and Cry):

Great news: Stéphane Lambiel will skate at the exhibition in Bern. He got the permission from the ISU. :cheer2:

The article also features a video of Sarah Meier skating with kids.

Very lucky for the spectators!

I think this is a move that competitions need to begin taking. His name has got to sell a few extra tickets!

It was apparently hard to get the permission.

I'm so happy! Watching this skater makes me realize what figure skating is all about.

This is a great precedent to set - and no one, in Europe, to do it better than Lambiel. Lucky folks who will be there.

He needed a PERMISSION?? What were they thinking?! :P

Nevertheless, wonderful news! :swoon:

Great for the swiss fans... Euros in Switzerland and without Lambiel didnt seem right.. At least we'll enjoy him at the Gala.

He attended Thin Ice,so he can't attend ISU invents in two years.

It's apparently a special permission from ISU,maybe the tickets selling didn't go well :P

Guess who will be there?:rollin::cheer2:
