A few weeks after withdrawing from the European Championships,
Stéphane announced his return to the competition for the coming
World Championships in Tokyo (March 19-25). He will perform a new
short program to the soundtrack of "Blood Diamond" and will try to
keep the World title for a third year in a row. Brian Joubert,
Daisuke Takahashi, Evan Lysacek, Jeffrey Buttle and Nobunari Oda,
among others, will give him a good run for his money though, in what
should be a very close competition.
