Amodio in huge meltdown, wearing a biker version of a matador suit. The whole thing looks like plether and the bolero jacket (with epaulets) is in folds and slashes. Red gores in the pants

pretty much a disaster for Florent...
Good to know that by the time the big competitions come around - the French return to their old habit of screwing it up when it counts. Préaubert at Universiade, Amodio here (he might make the Top Ten with a good freeskate) - Joubert and Ponsero will probably barely save those two spots for France at Worlds with a 13th and a 14th place :banging:

Universiade is a big competition? Really? There were some good skaters there (the Zhangs, Yukari) but any men's event in which the winning score is lower than what you might see from the ladies is suspect IMO.Good to know that by the time the big competitions come around - the French return to their old habit of screwing it up when it counts.

I doubt Eurosport will show the full LP for the guys, so I probably won't be able to watch Florent redeem himself (or not). :no:
To be fair, I've never watched him skate. I just tend to like the French skaters and was hoping for my first glimpse of the next generation (I hope this is just a bad day).Russian TV might be showing it, I'm glad to see I'm not the only Florent fan remaining in the building.
Who knows why Curran's PCS were low? I thought he skated very well. enlight78 thought he looked tired at the end..perhaps that's why.

Wasn't Joubert like 15 back then? He moved up to seniors very quickly, never looked back to the juniors and won the Bronze at Euros at the age of 17.To be fair, I've never watched him skate.

Brian Joubert did Junior Worlds once, and finished 15th. So there's hope yet!
