Joubert Dances Like He Doesn't Know How

At the end of the gala performance of the European Championships in figure skating they showed all the skaters on the ice dancing around and celebrating the end of the competition. Joubert was right in the middle doing the classic wallflower move: two feet planted firmly in the ground (rather, ice), with a little shoulder wiggle. I found it a particularly interesting contrast since he clearly can get his groove on (as he had proved moments before in his performance). Perhaps he just dances better under strict choreography?

It's ok. He's still a great skater (and he chooses awesome music - Josh Groban? Cha-ching!).

Speaking of great skaters... I saw the first female performer that I actually liked watching! Her name is Sarah Meier and she is Swiss. Perhaps this year during the World's competition I'll bother watching women's.

In other news, I saw that in the States they had the National competition and Lysacek was first (YAY!) followed by Ryan Bradley (who'd have thunk?) and Johhny Weir. What a difference from last year! (Well, not really but I don't have anything else to say on the subject.)
