It's even more great that he skated that well with THAT pressure... figure skating watchers expecting a medal if not gold, and Skate Canada expecting the same. And he went out and delivered. Kudos for that.

On paper, but it doesn't mean Joubert always performs 8 triples.
Like I said earlier in thread, notice how many of the men attempted a quad? Whether they botched it or landed it perfectly, their triples were a bloody mess too. Nobunari was by far the cleanest of the men of the men who attempted and landed a quad. If you're going to focus all your energy on perfecting the quad, then your triples should be up there too. Don't blow your triples or the rest of the non technical elements, just for the quad and expect your quad to carry you through.
It's not a surprise as to why people were
about Plushenko's Olympic performance. It was good to win but not the best for an Olympic win.

It's my first time seeing Contesti skate, but I (surprisingly) enjoyed it--it was funny, irreverent. Jumps could've better smoother though.
I think I (like the audience) just wanted to see something different.

Interestingly enough he is born/raised in France, and only started competiting for Italy a few years back. He was speaking French when he got off the ice (ce n'est pas grave or something, meaning, it's not serious)
Yeah, this really proved that he can skate under pressure. I didn't come into this worlds with any expectation that he would win gold. I think it would be a great result (and improvement from last season) if he can win a medal of any colour.
And ditto on the SP. I thought he and Lysacek should be have been 1-2 in some order.
I'm disappointed thought that Canada won't have 3 spots, unless Chan wins, which unlikely...unless the top 2 bomb big time.

Considering it was Olympics, it was a fine win, these guys bomb in Worlds now. His jumps covered 1 mile on air, I really miss that!
Go Kozukaaaa!
He better losses alot of points tonight....imagine if he's only 1-2 points off...I'd be super pissed! LOL

I love Kozuka's spread eagle, look how deep the edge was...
