Men Free Skating - 2013 Trophée Eric Bompard

Amodio only got 117.48 in FS

 

[Ziggy]

Now I'm dying to know why exactly they are banning Joubert from COR.

Because he's refusing to do everything Gailhaguet tells him to.

 

[Shayuki]

I really hope Brown does well. He's my favorite male American skater. Would like to see him get a Bronze.

 

[Mrs. P]

Because he's refusing to do everything Gailhaguet tells him to.

Oh, I know....

(ZSchultz: your matrix reason .... )

Go Jason!

 

[sweetskates1]

Oh! Who said that? And what type of coach is G? Stern, technical? performance-driven?

Because he's refusing to do everything Gailhaguet tells him to.

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.

Wait, Joubert can't go to COR, either? Huh?

 

[sky_fly20]

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

right now, its not the worst idea at all :disapp:

 

[Icey]

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.

But not doing so (peaking at TEB), does not mean a peaking lies in the future this season.

 

[Mrs. P]

Wait, Joubert can't go to COR, either? Huh?

Yeah, they WD him from the event for "medical reasons." Given they made the same shoddy excuse at SA, I'm highly skeptical.

 

[Mrs. P]

True...but saying that he can only improve from there...(one can hope)

 

[Ziggy]

I really hope Brown does well. He's my favorite male American skater. Would like to see him get a Bronze.

He is the best male figure skater ever by an absolutely gigantic margin and it's a shame that a lack of quad and the fact he has no reputation yet is low-balling his GOE and PCS.

I've never seen any other skater who would have the whole package to this extent. The quality of all of his elements and the complexity of his choreography and transitions are second to one.

(Basic skating obviously nowhere near Chan's but everything else is amazing)

 

[Mrs. P]

Hanee looks better...he pulled a few decent quads in warmup....

 

[Ziggy]

Oh! Who said that? And what type of coach is G? Stern, technical? performance-driven?

He's not a coach, he's the president of FFSG.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Only because he was rewarded the highest PCS including SS so far.

Let's see if his PCS and SS will still beat Yan's today.

 

[sweetskates1]

Oh!!! : What is he looking to have Joubert to do? I don't understand. Lifestyle issues? Public image? Endorsements?

He's not a coach, he's the president of FFSG.

 

[Shayuki]

Only because he was rewarded the highest PCS including SS so far.

Let's see if his PCS and SS will still beat Yan's today.

Yeah, I feel like he got overscored in PCS a bit, but I guess I can forgive them in this instance.

 

[FSGMT]

Han must be very nervous, he looks like a zombie skating, without his usual speed and flow...

 

[FSGMT]

all those popped doubles!!

 

[Mrs. P]

Han must be very nervous, he looks like a zombie skating, without his usual speed and flow...

He is also ill. He looks pale as a ghost.

But props to Hanee for not giving up. I can't imagine even walking while having a fever, let alone doing a 4:30 minute program.

He should remain in 4th....I think?
