Men's Short Program

I smell a new leader..............

Florent Amodio

Good run-out from 3A. Good 3Lz+3T and 3F. First half of the program could be more choreographically interesting than just jumps and a spin. Strong footwork, though it gets a little sloppy near the end. It was solid technical display, so it will score high, but I wasn't moved by his interpretation of the music. Will score high.

SP: 77.64

Step out on quad means no combo for Joubert.

 

[reynycpr]

No combo for Brian :think:

4T step out
3a
3f

 

[Mrs. P]

So that song sounds familiar...where have I heard that before? Hehe...Did Brian not do a combo?

 

[Violet Bliss]

Joubert stepped out quad. No combo.

No successful quad yet in the competition.

 

[JeffyJosephNCA]

Did Brian not do a combo or are my eyes deceiving me?

 

[blue_idealist]

Joubert stepped out quad. No combo.

No successful quad yet in the competition.

Ryan Bradley did a successful quad-double.

Plushy sighting #2

 

[ImaginaryPogue]

I actually think I prefered the choreography of Joubert's.

 

[skatingfan04]

Loved Amodio...for some reason, Joubert was a bit bland by comparison.

Gå Adrian!!!!

 

[Krislite]

Lots of cheers. He's got a lot of fans in the audience.

 

[kiz_4Ever]

it's like: "yeah....I start to understand now what transitions are..." <3

edit: ok, sorry, I don't understand anything maybe....Joubert pcs are unexpected only for me?

Step out on quad means no combo for Joubert.

Why doesn't he add 3T to 3F?

Brian Joubert

Okay, its official. The French are invading Mexico.

A step-out form the 4T. Clean 3A. First spin won't get a high level. Good 3F. No combo, however, and will get a -3 for it. I've actually seen more attack from Joubert in the past, but I think he was going for a clean performance given his shaky short programs this year. A good idea, and it sets him up for the long program, but the lack of a combo will hurt a lot. (Heh, cut to a shot of a worried Plushenko for kicks.)
