Vancouver Olympics: Program for Thursday 18

La meilleure chance de médaille aujourd’hui is for Stéphane Lambiel in figure skating. Le patineur de Lausanne, 24 ans, a été champion du monde à Moscou en 2005, en 2006 à Calgary. Il a été médaille d’argent aux Jeux Olympiques en 2006 à Turin, et 2eme place aux championnats d’Europe 2010, il est donc normal d’espérer un podium, voir l’or pour Stéphane. C’est peut-être pour cela que la Suisse l’a choisi comme flag bearer at these Olympic Games.
