It seems the music of Brian´s LP is known now Laughing

. At least they write so in his official fan forum. Besides I found it in fsuniverse.

It´s "Ancient Lands" by Ronan Hardiman.

Alexei Yagudin first used it in 2002 for his "Overcome"...

Florent Amodio passed Brian.
Result for Brian: Second place in total!

Now I only hope someone was able to make a vid with sound (orange tv only had it without sound Rolling Eyes

)... I really would like to see how the music fits to Maxim´s choreography!

Oh, and I forgot to add: If Brian really wants to win a medal at the Olympics, I think he will have to work a lot on the technical side of his LP! Today we saw a fall after a quad, problems with the pirouettes and and and ...

It was not a good start of the season. Let's hope he will improve his skating.
And I don't like the costume nooo

Eli, not until now nooo

! Wondergirl and I we watched it at the web version of french Orange-TV, but it was without sound Rolling Eyes

. Watching a LP without sound is really strange.
Eli, I found the link to that only some minutes before Brian´s skated and therefore have had no time to post it here, sorry!

He really has had much better costumes before... Rolling Eyes

Black, with a lot of glitter.

His costume was basically Maxim's 7 deadly sins costume in black....except the color there was not so much difference...

I hope someone was able to make a home video from the competition. Skating without sound is not much fun. Laughing

, that´s the "official" TV version from Orange TV. And Orange TV today simply decided to show every skating event without sound lol!

.
For a sound version we can only, as Ivana wrote before, hope and pray for a homemade version from someone who was inside the arena...

My friends were there in Orléans and they told me that Brian skated really really badly, he skated his free program much better during the practice in the morning.

Anyway, i read in an interview he gave to the magazine "l'équipe" that when Albena and Max came two weeks ago, they were finally happy of Brian's work. He told that because the second time they came to see Brian skating the program they made for him they were really disappointed, they did not recognize their choreography. It seems that Brian erased many elements of their choreography. Brian explained this saying that Albena and Max did a program definitely much harder than what he is able to do with jumps. Elements before and after jumps are difficult.

As far as i'm concerned, i think it's ok : Albena and Max might not realize this difficulty for a skater in this category.
In another way, they made a hard program, and so what? Does he want do win a gold medal at the OG. If he skates as he did this week end he can say farewell to his dream of winning a gold medal.

He seems to be late in training....
Anyhow, IMHO, his movements are always rigid like a robot....
Hard operation for Albie and Max...

(P.S....Excuse me, dear Brian's fans.... Embarassed

)

I am an addict of Brian's skating. He does not have a girly way to skate but I agree, he should be more flexible.
I know he has a great potential. Imagine a competition chere all skaters skate as well as they can i know Brian would win. That's sure !
I do not like his behaviour but it's another story.

Anyway, here is an interview of Brian.

I'll translate the part about other skaters :

NR: You'll face your old enemis this season as Takahashi, Plushenko and Lambiel. How do you feel about that?

BJ :I watch Plushenko's programs on internet. I hope he'll keep those programs (ironic). There are no transitions and i absoloutely do not trust in his quadruple jump because his triple is without any strength.. I am not scarry to met him in Talinn.
Lambiel? I don't think so...
Takahashi is different because he has another motivation he'll be stronger.

NR: What about other skaters?

BJ: I think Verner is the most dangerous but he is fickle and with a lack of experience. We'll have the answer in Paris.
