Wow, Joubert improved his steps and I am impressed his quad 4T-2T at short program. He also jumped 3Lz, 3A perfectly. I'm looking forward to seeing Daisuke, Joubert and Lambiel at GPF.

Hi Leode!

I saw Joubert SP. I think his spins were faster than last year! He improved in steps, but in my opinion he was always a bit rigid in upper body...

He really jumped well 4T-2T but...
... 4T-2T combination has 10.30 as Base Value, while Daisuke's combo 3F-3T 9.50...
There's no big difference...
In Skate America Daisuke had 1.80 as GOE, so 11.30 total points.
Joubert had 0.80 as GOE, so 11.10 total points.
I think Daisuke can obtain a lot of points with 3F-3T combination and if he has more familiarity with this jump he can also obtain a higher GOE...
It's a good choice don't take a risk in SP!

Joubert won Skate Canada.

1- Brian Joubert
2- Kevin Van Der Perren
3. Jeffrey Buttle

If you look Joubert score in FP, you can see he took off his flips with the wrong edge.

Thank you, Leode & glorydave!
I agree with you. I felt Joubert's skating has improved especially in SP.

Please see this Joubert's comment on Golden Skate report.

"My triple flip is a Lutz," Jouber later said with a laugh, when asked about the penalized flip. "I can't do a triple flip. That is why I changed my short program."

He is funny, isn't he!? Ha!
But then why did he do 2 3Fs in LP????????????

Did you see his EX? That was very nice performance. And I realized anew how handsome he is.........

HAHAHA Joubert is really funny!!
His flip was outside edge for a long time, I think, so it's difficult to fix it, but I hope he will correct at least next season.

I thinks so. SP was nice, steps were great, but first of all, his 'skating' has developed.
I think Joubert and Daisuke will be really strong rivals.

Hmm... It's a mistery......

Anyway, Weren't SA and SC that similar pattern??
Ladies' SP - No one didn't receive more than 60 points...
Men's SP - Dai and Joubert were lead, over 10 points in front of 2nd place!
Men's FS - They're finished 2nd, but overall won!
I'm expecting for Cup of China.

Thanks miyu!
I really don't understand why he choose to do two 3 Flip?!?!?!

I agree with you yerina!
It can become a problem for him in next competitions...

Hi!
On www.artonice.it I found found an article about Skate Canada... not really interesting, but it points out this thing:
till now Daisuke is the skater who took more points in Free Skate Program Components!
Daisuke: 76.10
Lysacek: 73.80
Joubert: 72.10
Buttle:72.00

GO DAISUKE!!!
