He did, but the countries filled them with their own skaters.
It still may be likely someone may withdraw and Lambiel could possibly receive an invitation to a Grand Prix.

A fall on the 4T means -4.8 GOE, no second jump on the combo and -1 off the total. That is a massive loss of points. A 2A, no matter how high the GOE, is also a hit in terms of the scoring. I don't care how good the rest of it is, or that it's an early season event; that score with those jumps is ludicrous, even for a skater of Stephane's talent.I'm sure his phenomenal spins, footwork, and program components were the reason for his higher score, not his jump content. He likely got positive GOE for the clean 2Axel and 3flip too.
who makes the decisions anyway??they should have asked me...He did, but the countries filled them with their own skaters.
It was kind of expected though, he got similar scores at the Grand Prix events in 2007 for really really bad skates. Not that it is right though, and I would hate it if he won Europeans or an Olympic medal in front of e.g. a clean Brian Joubert, only because the ISU is (rightly) madly in love with him.A fall on the 4T means -4.8 GOE, no second jump on the combo and -1 off the total.

That's actually not true. Patrick Chan's best PCS in an SP - ever - was 38.60, and that was at 2009 4CC, where by all accounts he skated very well (though maybe not as well as his score indicates). When Chan is overmarked, it's usually the GOEs were the judges show their appreciation. 38 TES with a quad-fall, a 2A and a 3F (why not a 3Lz?) is, um, interesting.That doesn't look too bad. 40 on PCS for Stéphane, that is what Chan gets, too.
Another photo.
I love, love, loooove the costume. I can't help it. But then again, I also love historical movies and the costumes in them.
NZZ-article In German, of course but with another photo..
Ahh, I can't explain it. Fanfare is the same word in English, my dictionary says. And when the fanfare begins, that's the Fanfarenstoß (that's how it would be written in German-German, the NZZ writes Swiss-German). In this case I think the author meant it as a metaphor, because Stéphane begins something new, a new project and this was the impressive start of it.I long to see the Fanfarenstoss? What is it, some sort of spin?
Well I think Lambiel has officially joined Plushenko in the "mega star power= outrageously scored" club. No matter if half of their programs are lackluster (for Evgeni transitions for Stephane jumps) they will still get "we bow to your feet" PCS from the judges.

The 38 TES for a SP with no 3A (isn't that a required element for men?)
