Yeah unfortunetly Kriss didn't do his best!:/ But hope next time he'll! But I'm soooo proud of French male team! I'm happy about Brian's victory although not proud of his free performance cause he can do much more better. But Yannick ponsero.....wowowowowowowow......thanks god he started to meet with psychologist...and finally he showed what he can!!! Finally he didn't burn his program and he skated awesome!!!!!! I'm soooooooooooo proud of him!!!! (Hmmm...maybe Kristoffer should go to psychologist too if it can bring results like that lol ) I'm also proud of Alban....he also showed he can skate very well!!!! Both did very well...but maybe I'm even proud of Yannick cause I remember him from Warsaw and sooo not self-confident that the progress makes an impression!!!! Hope he'll keep it up! I'm also sooooo glad of Kevin! He skated good programs so he deserved it! (Although I enjoyed his Pirates' program much more!) I have to mention of Contesti as well! He was absolutely the biggest suprise of last Euros! Wow that was really impressive! congrats to Samuel too!
I'm just a bit disappointed of Tomas Verner's performance on Euros! Hope he'll be in shape for Worlds and he'll be able to skate much more better!!! Same as Kris!
I'm just a bit sad about Michal Brezina. I know he can skate much more better but hope he'll show it next time! I believe he can achieve a lot in the future!

brain is unbelievable person. really his performance is wonderfull .I watched his gala programe I were enchanted
( but not to forget kristoffer's gala programe at worlds 2008 was wonderfull and he is number one in this job I think )

Brian Joubert's short program was amazing to watch! It was flawless and he totally got the crowd behind him. The whole arena clapped the whole time starting from his combination in the very beginning. He got as big cheers as Ari-Pekka Nurmenkari, if not even bigger.

I felt really bad for the third Swedish skater, Alexander Majorov, because he fell 4 times. At the 4th time some middle-aged woman who sat nearby me even laughted at him... I think that was really mean and rude. I wanted to shout at her that shut up.

Contesti was the biggest surprise. And he also had a funny program and the audience enjoyed it very much.

I was quite surprised that in the end Ponsero got the highest score. Maybe I wasn't focusing well enough for his program but I didn't get much out of it, from the presentation part I mean. Though technically he succeeded very well. But his skiing in the gala was great! I have never seen any skater ski on ice before.

Funny thing is that when I saw Kristoffer's long program live, I actually didn't think it went that bad, I thought it was ok. But then afterwards I watched the competitions on dvd (I had recorded them) and the Finnish commentator said something like all the Swedish skaters failed and I was little surprised that did it actually go that bad.
