Thanks Paula!Originally Posted by gsk8
Next season there will be two male skaters from Switzerland in Worlds (or three?), so let´s hope this guy will make the team... He sure is tall, jumping is not so easy for him as those short guys of about 5´7" that are among the most consistent jumpers. Of course there is a lot more in skating than jumping, LOL, but unfortunately one does not get into the top without them...

Two. Patrick Meier finished 31st in Dortmund, making a team total of 35, far above the 13 maximum required to qualify 3 skaters for the next year.
Jamal is a great guy. I've gotten the chance to skate with him in Atlanta a few times and He's really a wonderful skater. Once you get to know him, he's really outgoing and funny. I'm glad he's coming around again he has so much potential. I hope this is a breakthrough season for him he's worked so hard.
