Me too. My dream podium in any order.

thanks!
I like Verner's program the best, he's a natural charmer and lovely performer. he skated with so much grace, fluidity and personality. I can watch this over and over again. Don't understand the low score tho, especially comparing to Chan's 73+ SP with 3 falls!
Joubert's Flemenco reminds me so much of Lambiel's 07 LP, too many similarities between the choreography. I do appreciate his effort to improve his artistry, but he's still not Lambiel, it looked ... forced. That said, I would still put him ahead of Kozuka.
Kozuka has very nice SS, enjoy watching him gliding around, but this program is just boring and bland.
Joubert reminds me Lambiel in this short program
Kozuka got level 4's on his spins, while Joubert only got levels 1 and 2 for his spins and steps, according to the ISU report.
The level requirements are ridiculous. If you do a spin with a difficult variation it's still only Level 1. You have to do 2 variations to get to Level 2. Joubert got no credit for the variations he did since others weren't counted. I understand why (his variation in the upright spin didn't count as "difficult" and his difficult variation in the Change-of-Foot spin goes too, thus becoming an "intermediate position", which only counts in combination spins) but it's still mainly just arbitrary rule nonsense. Spins should be scored mostly on GOE value.
Oh please. Joubert has gotten ALL Level 4's on his spins in past performances. He's hardly incapable of increasing his levels, the judges simply didn't credit him for the variations he did at this competition.
Joubert's speed, centering, and general positions are not bad. He didn't deserve to get hammered on his spins.
did he really?Are you sure? I always though the last few seasons, he got level two with sometimes level 3 at best.Oh please. Joubert has gotten ALL Level 4's on his spins in past performances.
I use to enjoy Joubert's programs but now the moves that he does just makes me laugh.Joubert: When I heard that they both were doing flamenco during the summer, I figure Jeremy's would be more subtle and Joubert's would be... definitely not subtle. As it turns out, I like the macho flamenco more than the subtle one. I also noticed the ninja moves, which made me laugh every time.
