面白かったところをメモ
4回転無しのお二人、ジョニーさんとバトルくんについては

I know they do this element at practice, but they don’t risk including it in the program. That’s the new judging system. Before, everyone tried to risk, and now, many are satisfied with what they learned well. If Weir and Buttle don’t try for more, that means they are afraid to lose their current position. That’s not the first position.

たしかプルさんは以前に"練習で確実に出来ないことは試合ではやらない"って発言していたような気がするのだが…。といっても確実に出来ること、出来ないことのレベルが違うから…仕方ない。


他の選手たちよりジュベールが一番危険なライバルか?というような質問には

Joubert, Weir, Buttle, Sandhu, Goebel – I don’t single out anyone. All those guys are similarly dangerous. Everyone was his strong and week side. Some spin great but not too strong in jumps. Some got the quads but can’t spin and not too strong artistically.

あらゆる面でプルさん本人が圧倒的だもんな…。


ランビエールについて、そのスコアについても

I don’t understand why Joubert is set as Plushenko’s main rival. It would be more fair if it were Stefan Lambiel. He is gifted skater all-around. I can say responsibly and without emotion - in skating quality, spins, footwork and artistic expressiveness, he is stronger than Joubert. With that, Lambiel’s second mark in the free program was four points lower. Nothing changed. Judging just like it was before. Judges are free in their likes and dislikes as before. And just like before, the second mark is the tool to express their likes and dislikes. So what, then it’s Joubert. I’m ready for pressure.

これには大きく頷いた。
