Brian Joubert

[Sandpiper]

Well, seems I'm alone in enjoying Brian & Katarina's number.... Oh, well, no matter.

I, too, liked what I saw of them on Snow King. I think they have a certain chemistry. If Brian feels healthy, I will support him if he comes back to competition. I hope they can work on the lifts.

Yes, obviously the pair elements were pretty rudimentary - but I loved Plushy's answer when he was asked about their potential; basically he said that one doesn't know what one is capable of until one tries.

Brian performed in Kanagawa FS Festival. The cost was: Plushy, Stephan Lambiel, Tomas Verner, Carolina, Oda, Honda, Fumie...

I copy this from Plushy's thread:
This is really funny!

look at these drawings https://twitter.com/PlushenkoNews/status/559393702570119168 and https://twitter.com/PlushenkoNews/status/559423997226803200

What happened there?

"@Naomi_sensei: when Tomas Verner skated to LMFAO, Plushenko and Joubert came out to a corner half naked and danced like bodybuilders! XD"

I hooooooope will have video about it... there is no video right now and probably won't be.. sigh

 

[Meoima]

they really had fun! I want to see those half-naked video!!!

 

[silverfoxes]

It's times like this I really hate the rules in Japan about no cameras/video at any shows or competitions. If only Yana had been there...

 

[LRK]

Sigh... If a tree falls in a forest, and there is no one there to hear, is there any sound?.... If hilarious things happen, and we never get to see them, did they even happen at all? (sadly philosphical)

Honestly, these things should be preserved for posterity! (stamps foot in righteous indignation)

 

[AlexandraJoubert]

What happened finally with Katarina Gerboldt?? There were no clear news... I watched a video on her instagram account the other day and she was training with someone whose name she didn't mention. Do any of you know anything??

I don't know anything - but she is included (as is Brian) in this trailer for the international tour for The Snow King:

Presumably that would indicate that she intends to do those shows. But, since I don't think any details have emerged on when or where they'd take place, I'm not sure what one can make of it? Or not make of it, as the case may be.

 

[AlexandraJoubert]

It's all a bit confusing. I read that it looked as if Brian would have changed his mind about pair skating and then I knew about The Snow King Show, where they skate together... I don't know! I guess we'll have to wait and time will say

Yes, my thought exactly. It's like all our own soap just specifically for the benefit for us Brian fans:

"All of your questions - and more - will be answered in the next episode of the thrilling drama: Brian Joubert, Pair Skater. Except, actually, correction! No questions will be answered but more confusion added to... Brian Joubert, Pair Skater - or Not Pair Skater! Stay Tuned!... Or not... ?"

Agh, it's so true! Every time I read an update I'm even more confused.

Hahahaha so true!!

We can see Brian a little in this video of the backstage of the DWTS tour in Paris

I regret that we had Candeloro and Péchalat as "journalists" and none have spoken of this project of pairs in detail on TV while they had saw him recently

Joubert began saying that it was not a done deal almost as soon as the reports appeared, there was a story in LNR back in November that it was not happening, and he said the same to his Russian fans some time ago. I don't think there's any confusion about it: he and Gerboldt will skate together on the Snow King, but they're not going to form a partnership beyond that.

Sigh... Buttercup, why are you being so... so... I hate to use the word... but... reasonable? (pouts)

I suppose the confusion is all wishful thinking on my part... (sighs sadly)

 

[Mia29]

I understand like you, LRK and my confusion comes of the russian articles and what Oleg Vasiliev seems to tell.

 

[LRK]

Yes, Mia - same here.

I know, though, that with me it's also a case of hope being like a weed, that no matter how much anyone tries to kill it, just grows back again.

Oh, well, we'll all see - and in the meantime, it's not like there's anything any of us can do about it either way.

 

[silverfoxes]

With the state of the other French men these days, dare I say I've been imagining Brian coming back to compete as a singles skater again?

When I saw the men's event at Euros I thought that Brian could have medaled in that competition if he had participated. He is better than Voronov.
