About Samuel , he was on probation during this summer and made his new program :

Don't forget the next competition : Masters in Reims from 29th of September to 2nd of October :

Samuel did a great job with finishing 5th in his qualification group at the World Championchips on monday. He is currently 10th in the general classification. This is a great surprise! But Samuel couldn't maintain the pressure and had 3 falls in the short program and finished 26th which meant that he wasn't able to attend the long program. But i still want to congratulate you for an extraoridnary season with a lot of tension and surprises! You will have enough chances to show you talent and show that you are one of the future figure skaters in France! I also think that the experinces which you made at the World Championchips will help you to learn and progress. We are very proud of you no matter what happens!

Hello hello! As you know the Nice Cup was sheduled for the past weekend: the summary from the competition is on the Samuel Contesti forum available. Samuel did a great job and had super performanc. He finished 2nd ahead of Stanick Jeannette. That's why he is going to participate at TEB to replace Stanick Jeannette. So we won't do the Grenoble Cup. In addition many people thought that Samuel could have also placed 1st if he didn't do a small mistake on a jump, what a pity... But this 2nd place is still fantastic! He fighted through it and did his best during the long program! He audience was also euphoric! He deserved a standing ovation! Here are his marks:
-short program
tech: 5.4 5.1 5.2 4.9 4.7

Also don't hesitate to post something at the forum! All your comments are welcome! Now let's talk about more serious things. I added the results from the Masters event! Samuel had a great performance, that's why he placed second.
Here are his marks:

Presentation: 5.3 5.3 5.3 5.4 5.4 5.6 5.6 5.7
At the long program he had a nearly perfect presentation, but unfortunately the judges didn't rewarded this:

Presentation: 4.9 5.1 5.2 5.2 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.5
The marks caused the 4th place. That's why this competition offers a great perspective for the next competitions. He'll fight for all and will be a serious competitor! Go go go Samuel!
