Anaïs Morand goes single, gets kickass choreographers
SLIGHTLY (OK NOT JUST SLIGHTLY) CORRECTED GOOGLE TRANSLATION B/C I'M TIPSY AND FLAILY (YEAH THERE'S A SURPRISE)
Morand tries as a single skater
The young Anaïs Morand wants to compete next season, despite the resignation of her partner Antoine Dorsaz.
Following the resignation of pairs skating partner Antoine Dorsaz, Anaïs Morand will try competing next season as an individual skater. At the same time, the 17-year-old of Valais is examining whether it makes sense to compete in the future with Estonian Ilja Glebov (22).
Morand has therefore also decided to take this step because she would not be able to compete in 2010/2011 with Glebov, as they both participated in the Olympic Games in Vancouver and have different nationalities. She is training for her "single carreer" in Switzerland, and will have two programs designed by Paul Sonderegger, Salome Brunner and Stéphane Lambiel. In December, she will take part in the Swiss national championships. There she strives for a medal in order to be recommended for international competitions.
Despite this, there may still be a Swiss pair in the coming season. The former elite skater Timothy Leemann (19/Küsnacht) has completed a successful trial in Chemnitz with the Russian woman Daria Popova (16). "Both understand each other perfectly," said world champion coach Ingo Steuer. "Tim has a passion for pair skating, and a talent as I have rarely seen."
FUCK YEAH STÉPH AND SALOME
