He skated really well at Jr. Worlds this morning in the short. He has a LOT of power and speed--great raw materials to work with! Can't wait to see what he does with it.

I saw him in St Gervais last season for JGP and while he was artistically promising, it was really not on point in technical POV.
But ever since he switched to Brian, there has been steady progress. He even attempted both 4T and 4S in the FS before. Considering how young he is, I’ve good hope for him in the future, as long as he stays healthy. :)

Been a while since a French Junior Men qualified for JGPF. Wasn’t the last one Florent?
Anyway, congrats Adam! Very proud of you! :cheer:

Yes funny (and cute) . It's the first time I see him during an interview and he looks so shy (or confused, I don't know).

This week, he became the first French skater to land a quadruple lutz during a competition. It’s a good thing for the French figure skating. I’m curious to see when he will do the 4F in competition. And can’t wait for the next season between him, who should improve his PCS, Aymoz who should add at least a quadruple and Ponsart, who is a great skater but not constant. And perhaps Besseghier ? Even if he seems to be a trainer now, he was injured and Amodio didn’t speak about a retirement in December.
It was not a great WTT for him. He seemed tired but there are always positive things: the 4Lz but the 4T too (One of his best this season. The salchow is always difficult). I appreciate how fighter he is. In Minsk, he noticed the public. It’s a good competition for acclimating to it. During the junior competitions or the French competitions, there isn’t a lot of people the most of time. The World team trophy is great for some reasons, more realistic. It has a price money. When you have a federation which put pressure on the skaters due to the money, to have some money is always positive.
