FML :(

The Men's Short Programme was tonight and I stayed up all morning to watch it, despite my having an exposé for uni the same day. Stéphane looked so fucking good with his hair and I didn't mind his William Tell music. His skate was pretty damn perfect apart from the fact that he didn't cleanly land his quad :(. He didn't have too many jumps in his programme which is probably because he is carrying a niggling injury. All in all, I was pretty damn enraptured. Those fucking spins get me every time:

As for Brian Joubert, well, he fucked it up big time. Didn't land his quad or his triple lutz, and no completed combo jumps (although he had planned one). It was rather amusing seeing all the horny and undersexed girls (and guys) on ontd jizzing themselves over how attractive he is especially when he was ~speaking French. From what I caught, he was basically just saying "FML, fuck the olympics" and dropping a whole lot of 'p bombs'' after he knew he blew it. Whoever choreographed his short programme seriously needs to be shot and burned along with Plushy's choreographer.

I guess I'm hard on him, but because he's my favourite (along with Stéphane) and I expect a lot from him. Despite my being pissed that he tanked, I do feel sorry for him, because an athlete has to commit a lot physically and emotionally to an olympic campaign. The next time he's in Paris he can come over and I'll comfort him... Either that or in Turin because I *may* be heading over for the figure skating worlds.

Oh, and Patrick Chan tanked his triple axle so that made me grin. He's all talk and immaturity. Looks like Plushy will head into the free skate in the lead. I feel like must be sucking major dick to get the scores he does with those boring, robotic routines. I must admit, he's a clutch jumper and he handles the pressure well but If he wins again, I'm going to throw something. Sorely wishing Alexei was still around to pwn his ass. I really really hope Stéphane can take hope the gold, he really is such a fantastic all-round skater and he deserves to have been olympic champion.
