Men Free Skating - 2013 Trophée Eric Bompard

[Icey]

It's sad to see the deterioration of a skater in such a public way.

 

[EdgeCall]

Florent is so much fun to watch. It would be even more fun if he managed to stay on his feet ...

 

[Mrs. P]

Oh, Florent...

Another one from the "young ones of 2010" that really haven't lived up to his potential.

(in reference to those who skated in seniors in 2010; not Hanyu, who was still a junior then).

That TES.

 

[Shayuki]

Wow, that was.... Pretty terrible.

I guess he'll be 9th.

 

[sweetskates1]

Me too!!!

I was thinking about Ricky when I heard the music, which makes me sad too, because that's the last program where Ricky really killed it. I'm hoping that perhaps could change this season.

If Figure Skating was all footwork sequences and personality, Florent would have as many World Championships as Chan.

 

[bigsisjiejie]

Well that first group displayed some lame skating. Let's hope the second group of men lives up to their promise and their SP quality.

I'm really missing Joubert right about now.

might be wrong for saying this but wow,
Amodio has gotten worst after leaving Morozov

Florent is crazy, sexy, cool and has my favorite on ice "persona". He is so unique, never boring and able to land incredibly huge jumps but he falls all the time Why!?

[Mrs. P]

Holy crap, just two clean TRIPLES.

Amodio completely omitted one jumping pass. Skated into a corner and never even took off...

Smooth basic skating, good posture and lines. The program was empty at the start (just skating around into the three big jumps) but picked up later on and featured quite a lot of upper body movement, in character of the music.

 

[noidont]

Why is Florent doing this to himself? He of anyone needs Morozov.

 

[Matilda]

Any news of how Han is feeling today? I hope he's feeling better than yesterday and that we get a real competition for gold and bronze.

I did like the program. Well he doesn't have to peak at TEB...

Now I'm dying to know why exactly they are banning Joubert from COR. If they're going to punish him for being "unprepared," well..Florent did not look prepared today....Surely Joubert can do better than 117 in an FS.

 

[Shayuki]

That FS was actually worse than Majorov's. Wow.

 

[Ziggy]

Amodio leaving in tears.

Now I'm dying to know why exactly they are banning Joubert from COR. They really can use him right now!

Maybe because he's planning to do a 43589346534589645th Matrix Long Program? (I'm just guessing )

 

[sweetskates1]

My heart hurts. Return to Morozov please... Actually go to Tom in Colorado or Christy Krall!
