Guys, I was a little hesitant to post this because it's unconfirmed, but I was convinced by some _skaters that it was post-worthy...
One World Champ To Choreograph For Another?
(yes, I cropped Johnny out D':)
This, to my knowledge, has not been reported anywhere else yet. I have heard from a reliable source that current World Champion Daisuke Takahashi will be working on choreography for a new short program with none other than 2005 and 2006 World Champion Stephane Lambiel.
Note that I said A new short program, and not THE new short program. I have also heard that Takahashi will be having two programs choreographed, and he will decide which one he will skate competitively during the 2011 season. Not sure yet on who the other choreographer is, though. I'll edit it in when I confirm. Pasquale Camerlengo (husband of two-time World ice dance Champion Anjelika Krylova) is still slated to choreograph his free skate.
And so starts the part of the off-season where rumors and big news are bound to come up quite frequent. I have always tried to do my best to stay quiet until I am really sure of the things I put my name to, but keep in mind that once again, this is no official announcement!
Updated: This information is now confirmed.
^Thanks, Tony!
