a step out??
Brian Joubert's future

I think that is the closiest.
That is called the 3 turn I was talking about a few messages earlier

Brian "retourned" his quad, the rest well skated. (he "found" his triple axel, lol)
I added to my post earlier that I believed Florent had fallen on his 3A, as it was reported he fell on his first jump. He singled that in GPF. And that 77.21 is Joubert's best score so far this season, not so low for an imperfect program.

At this event, I am sure Amodio feels the same pressure as Brian, he has to show that last years's title was't a fluke, when Joubert was out, while Brian has to turn around his season, as he usually does by this time.
Alban on another hand can skate under the "radar", I would laugh of if he would steal the crown in the end.
If Alban won the French Nationals, it would be problematic to FFSG because France only has 2 spots in Men's World team.

Does the FFSG have any sort of rule about the National champ getting an automatic berth to Worlds, or other explicit criteria?
No they don't. They usually take into consideration how they skate at the Europeans as well. There they have 3 spots available, so the outcome of that event, is usually as important for the World team selection as it is their nationals.
Last year they were really in trouble, as Ponsero was still skating, and they decided to lave actually their champion, Amodio at home for the Europeans, and gave the spots at the Europeans to Joubert (who missed the nationals for a foot injury), Preaubert and Ponsero.
Then Amodio went only to the OlYmpics and Worlds with Joubert.

The French Championship protocols for Mens SP.
Joubert actually did 4t/2T with GOE deductions but no UR. His spin and step levels are up, mostly 3. He won by virtue of degree of difficulty and high PCS.
Preaubert had overall better executions of his elements but he had no quad.
Amodio received from -1 to +1 for his 3A. Got both edge call and -3s for his 3F so that should be what he fell on, which was his last jump, not 1st as told by a spectator.
Besseghier had low TES base value and lower PCS as well so he's below Amodio despite being clean. I'm a little surprised Florent's SS and FW and general PCS are not lower considering he reportedly took a long while to resume the program after the fall in CiSt2 which he got mostly -2 on.
Ladies' Results though it doesn't belong in this thread.

(Continuing off topic -- sorry.) So, is Yrétha Silete the real deal?

I think so. She jumps like Meite but is more polished and musical, IMO. Here's her SP from the JGP in France this fall, she was 1st in that segment ahead of Polina Shelepen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IekZQitOoU&feature=related
Nice skating and nice long, muscular lines as well.

Yeah, Brian winning without a quad is actually kind of scary

Joubert opened with a 3T and came in 2nd in LP behind Amodio by less than a point.
Interesting that just the 3rd and 4th placers did quad. No 3A after the 5th placers.

Thanks!
Thanks.
There was not even an intention to try the quad, he held back as usual in his LP, going for the clean skate. Tokyo 2007 all over again!
Although I know the plan was to recapture his title, he got it because Amodio splatted in his SP twice.
It might sound hash, but I would smack him for the following:
1. Where the heck was the 3rd combo? With a double toe tackled somewhere, he would've won the LP as well
2. Spins, he has a level 1 spin and two level 3's, here loses to Amodio too who has a 4,3,1.
3. Step sequences, he has one level 2 and one level 1, Amodio has one 3, and one 1.
He has to revisit his program and make the required adjustments, to get his levels up.
Good for him for the french crown # 7, but he got work to do!

when Joubert "never" goes clean we complain, when he choses to leave out the quad and gives first importance to skate clean, we complain again.
Fs is strategy, if your rival splats in sp then you change your plan accordingly, in the all -about- the- quad era skaters were leaving out the second one when they didnt need it to win, so now they leave also the first.
And his spin, I havent seen the vid, but usually level 1 it was given automatically in the season when the positions didnt count as diffucult variations or not enough turns.

Isnt the second step sequence(choreo step.) in the program marked level 1 now for allskaters anyway and judges just give Goe?
