You can't be sure he won't miss a jump, you can't be sure he will be flawless -- just as other skaters, he is also only human. But one thing you can be sure of: no matter what happens, he will fight. Brian Joubert was only on the seventh place after the short program in Bern, but by winning the free he managed to grab the silver -- his tenth consecutive medal at his tenth European championships.
Did you believe after the short program, that you would be on the podium?
It was difficult, because I was only seventh, but it was close, the score was not so bad compared to the other skaters. So I was lucky, it was possible to medal. But I didn't think about it. When I came on the ice, I just focused on my program, to give 100 percent. I didn't care about the place.
How did it feel to you to skate in the penultimate group? Usually you are in the last group.
I don't like it, but after I had a very bad short program, it was normal for me to skate in this group. I was so disappointed about my short program, because I like it so much, and I definitely don't like to make these kind of mistakes, especially on the triple lutz. So I was disappointed but then I thought, that's life, even though I'm not in the last group, I have to do my job. That's what I did.
How did you feel while watching the others? You had to wait for a long time to know if you medal or not. Were you nervous?
In the beginning it was okay. When I saw that I'm already sixth, then fifth, then fourth and that I could win a medal, I started to get nervous. It was very long, I was more nervous than before my free program! However, I was with my mum and it was great, because we had this experience together, and I didn't want to be alone in those moments. So in the end it was very nice. I was so close to be European champion, but I still showed that I can skate like a champion, like a fighter, and that's the most important thing.
Robin Szolkowy (European Champion in pairs, together with Aljona Savchenko) said after pairs' free skating that waiting for the score of the rivals was much harder than to skate the entire program. Do you agree?
It's special. After my free program I was happy about my performance, about what I did and I felt fine. I started to be nervous when Michal Brezina, Artur Gachinski and Kevin van der Perren skated, because I really wanted to see two French guys on the podium. First and second place is great for my federation.
Florent Amodio jumped into your arms when he realized he is European champion. (they showed this on the screens in the arena) Are you happy for him?
Yes, I'm very happy. He works a lot, these were his first European championships and he earned a fantastic result. Of course I'm happy for him, I'm always glad for my friends, the team, for everybody -- but I prefer to win.
All the three guys on the podium were so nice and those hugs and firm handshakes showed true sportsmanship. You seem to respect each other a lot and have a great fun together.
That's true. I was also nervous for Tomás, because I wanted to see him doing a very good performance. I like this guy, he is very nice. To be on the podium with him was great. After the competition we had a cocktail with the French federation and Tomás also came with us. I was very happy for him. He could become European champion as well, it was close, but he still didn't have a bad competition here.
You won the free program in Bern. Are you satisfied, this is what it should be like?
I think the last time I won the free program was in 2007. It doesn't happen often, I think I won the free only two times... So I was really happy about this, but I still have to improve this program. I love it, I feel confident, with the audience it's great, but I still have to work on it, because it's very difficult physically. That's what I felt also in the free program, especially when I did the triple loop. That's why I put my hand down, I was just very tired.
How did the cold at this ice rink affected you?
I prefer when it's cold, because in my ice rink it's also very cold. But then I practice every day one hour or two hours, so I feel warm. Then it's easier to skate my program. At a competition you have only six minutes for warm-up, then you wait, so you are getting cold. I think every skater was disappointed about the temperature. And specially, what I didn't like was the difference between the practice rink and the main rink. The ice was completely different and the practice rink was very warm. It was not easy for us, skaters.
This year you skate to a classical music in your free program. Do you like this new style?
I enjoy it, because I feel that I can improve on this music. I don't know if I continue with the classical music in the future, but I just need this program to be better, that's the main goal for me. I wanted a change, I don't want to do the same thing every time.
Do you like listening to Beethoven over and over again at practice? Does it give you energy?
This music makes me really relaxed and I like it. I don't want to rush, I want to take my time, so it's easier for me.
You have two jumps at the very end of your program. Isn't it too tiresome?
I think I have to change it, because two jumps are a big risk. One is okay, but two are too difficult. So I have to put the one of the jumps before the last footwork. I wanted to do it in Bern, but I didn't want to change my program and be disturbed. So I kept it like this, even though I made a mistake on the triple salchow. Maybe I will change the jump layout for the Worlds.
So no more program-changing right during the competition? In the past you did it a few times...
When I did it, it didn't always work. So it's just wasn't the moment for me to take this kind of risk. I worked like this on this program, so I have to do the same at competition.
What about your spins? You had some low levels at some competitions at the beginning of the season on them.
My flying upright spin is level four, so it's okay. I just made some mistakes on the combo spin, I didn't count the eight revolutions, so I lost a few points. I just have to count, I have to work on my condition, because when I do spins, I lose a lot of energy.
So far you did one quad in this free program. Do you plan to add a second one until Worlds?
I really want to do two quads. I don't know if it's two quad toes or two different quads, I also don't know if I keep two triple axels, but two quads are my goal for Tokyo.
So do you prefer the quad to triple axel?
When I feel confident, I know the triple axel much more than the quad, but I prefer to do quads. It's much more interesting and it feels so great during a program.
At TEB you had a grey and black costume for your free program, now you changed to red and black. Why?
The grey and black was too dark for me, I didn't like it. That's why I wanted to change the colour. I don't like so much this new costume, but I have just one more competition in the season, so I will keep it. A lot of people told me they like it, so I will skate in it also at Worlds. The costume is not so important for me.
After the short program you said you have a psychological problem on the triple lutz. What's going on? When you land it, the lutz is one of your best jumps and sometimes you still struggle.
Lutz is a very easy jump for me, in the free program for example it was great! I'd really like to work on the lutz with four rotations, I'd love to try a quad lutz. But in the short programs I had so much trouble with this jump at competitions -- in Göteborg, at GP Final 2008, I had so many mistakes, I cut my foot two times when landing this jump... Before the short program I was thinking about this and then I made a mistake... It's difficult, because at practice I never miss the lutz.
So you shouldn't recall the bad memories...
Yes, that's all! Before the free program I didn't think about it. I wanted to be relaxed and I landed the lutz perfectly.
In Bern you once again showed that you are always a fighter. Even if you are down, you always come back. Where does this strength come from?
I don't want to give up. This is very important. When you are at a competition, you might be ready or not, you have to give everything. For me it's much more important to fight during the competition than to win. I was European champion in 2009, but I wasn't happy about that title, because I didn't give everything. I'm prouder of this silver medal, because I fought. After the short program lot of people in France said that I was dead, I was finished, and I gave them the answer. I know what I'm able to do. I know I still can do a lot of good performances. I still have to work, I still have to improve, but I love to skate, I love to compete, so I won't give up. When it is the time to stop, I will stop.
Ten years, ten Europeans, ten medals -- this is an impressive result.
I'm very proud about it. I don't know why, but I feel good at this competition. I like the European championships, I try to medal every time. I really wanted to be four-time European champion, but who knows, maybe in the next season. My first European championships were in Lausanne, and I won my first medal, so this made me very confident about this competition and I managed to continue like this each year.
Did you think about the Europeans in Lausanne now? It was also in Switzerland, you were young and all happy to stand on the podium next to Alexei Yagudin.
It was unbelievable. One of the best memories for me. I really like to skate in Switzerland, because I feel like in France, but I'm not in France, so I don't feel the pressure. I saw a lots of French flags in Bern, everybody was supporting the French skaters, so it was great.
Seeing Florent's happiness did you remember your first European title? In Budapest you were also happy, although in a different way.
Florent and me we are completely different. I don't like to show very much of what I think and what I feel. I'm happy, it's okay, but it was my goal to be a European champion, I worked for this, so it was not a surprise for me that time. Budapest is a great memory, because I did a very good competition, good quality and I beat Yevgeni.
How was the French party after the competition? You and Florent were late for the gala practice...
We had a cocktail with the federation until two o'clock and then we went to a disco. I went to bed at seven in the morning, so it was very difficult to wake up. I couldn't do any jump at the gala practice... I don't even know if Florent was talking in his sleep again, because I was too tired, I couldn't hear.
因为我悲剧的英文水平
我是翻译软件翻译的，请大家凑货看下
你不能肯定他不会错过任何一个跳，你不能相信他会完美无缺 - 就像其他选手，他也是人之常情。不过有一点可以肯定：无论发生什么事，他会打。布莱恩茹贝尔只是在后，在伯尔尼短节目第七位，但赢得了自由，他成功地抓住了银 - 他的第十他连续第十次欧洲锦标赛金牌。
你相信短节目后，你会在领奖台上？
这是困难的，因为我只是第七，但它接近，比分还没有这么坏比其他选手。所以我很幸运，这是可能的金牌。但是我没有去想它。当我在冰上的时候，我只专注于我的程序，给予百分之百。我不关心的地方。
它是怎样的感觉，你在倒数第二组滑冰？通常你是在最后一组。
我不喜欢它，但在我有一个非常坏的短节目，这是正常的，我滑冰这一组。我是如此短节目对我失望，因为我喜欢它这么多，我绝对不喜欢的事情，尤其在三重卢茨这些错误呢。所以我很失望，但转念一想，这就是生活，即使我在最后一组没有，我必须做我的工作。这就是我所做的。
你是怎么看的感觉，而其他人呢？你不得不等待很长一段时间，如果你知道或不奖章。是你紧张吗？
在开始的时候还不错。当我看到我已经第六位，然后第五，第四，然后我能赢得一枚奖牌，我开始变得紧张起来。这是很长，我比以前更紧张我的免费程序！不过，我和我的妈妈，这是伟大的，因为我们一起过这样的经历，我不想在那些孤独的时刻。那么到底这是非常好的。我是如此接近是欧洲冠军，但我仍然表明，我可以像一个滑冰冠军，像战斗机，这是最重要的事情。
罗宾Szolkowy（欧洲冠军双，Aljona Savchenko一起）后表示，对'自由滑冰，对于对手得分的等待是困难得多，而不是滑冰整个程序。你是否同意？
它的特殊。经过我的免费程序我对自己的表现很满意，我做什么，我感觉很好。我开始紧张时，米甲Brezina，阿图尔Gachinski和凯文的van der Perren滑冰，因为我真的很想看到领奖台上，两名法国人。第一和第二位的是我的联邦大。
弗洛朗Amodio跳进你的怀抱时，他意识到自己是欧洲冠军。 （他们在竞技场上显示屏幕这一点），你为他感到高兴？
是的，我很高兴。他的作品很多，这是他的第一个欧洲冠军，他赢得了梦幻般的结果。当然，我很为他高兴，我总是为我的朋友，团队为大家，很高兴 - 但我更喜欢赢。
所有这三个家伙在讲台上这么好的公司和那些拥抱和握手表明真正的体育精神。你似乎互相尊重了很多，有一大乐趣在一起。
这是事实。我也对Tomas紧张，因为我想看看他在做了很好的业绩。我喜欢这家伙，他是非常好的。为了在与他登上领奖台是伟大的。比赛结束后，我们曾与法国足协的鸡尾酒，托马斯也和我们在一起来了。我很为他高兴。他可以成为欧洲冠军，以及，这是近，但他仍然没有一个坏的竞争呢。
您赢得了在伯尔尼免费程序。你是否满意，这就是它应该是怎样的？
我觉得我最后一次赢得了2007年被免费程序。它不经常发生，我想我只赢了两次...免费所以，我真的很高兴，但我还是要改善这一计划。我爱它，我有信心，与观众它的伟大，但我还是要工作，因为这是非常困难的身体。这就是我觉得还能免费节目，尤其是当我做了三环路。这就是为什么我把我的手了，我只是很疲倦。
怎么在这冰冷场影响你？
我宁愿当它的冷，因为它在我的溜冰场也非常冷。但后来我每天练习一小时或两小时，所以我觉得温暖。然后，它更容易滑向我的程序。在比赛中你只有六热身分钟，然后你等着，等你越来越冷。我想每个选手是关于温度失望。和特别，我不喜欢的是与实践场和溜冰场的主要差异。冰是完全不同的，这种做法场很温暖。这是很不容易，对我们来说选手。
今年你滑向一个免费的古典音乐节目。你喜欢这个新的风格？
我喜欢它，因为我觉得我可以改善这种音乐。我不知道我是否与古典音乐在未来继续下去，但我只需要这个方案要更好，这就是我的主要目标。我想改变，我不想做同样的事情每次。
你喜欢听贝多芬在一遍又一遍地反复练习？它是否给你的能量？
这音乐让我很放松，我喜欢它。我不想这么急，我想利用我的时间，所以这对我来说比较容易。
你有你的程序的最后两跳。是不是太无聊？
我想我必须改变，因为两个跳跃是一个很大的风险。一个是好的，但两者是太难了。所以，我必须把前的最后步法的跳跃之一。我想做的事在伯尔尼，但我不想改变我的计划和被干扰。所以，我一直像这样，即使我就三重salchow一个错误。也许我将改变世界跳布局。
因此，没有更多的方案，改变在竞争的权利？在过去，你做了几次...
当我做了，它并不总是工作。所以，这根本就不够时刻我参加这种风险。我曾这样在这个方案，所以我必须做同样的竞争。
你是怎么想旋转？你已经在本赛季初他们在一些比赛一些低的水平。
我的飞行直立旋转是第四级，所以没关系。我只是对组合自旋一些错误，我没有指望的八个革命，所以我失去了几点意见。我只是来算，我要在我的条件，因为当我做旋转时，我失去了很多精力。
到目前为止，你做一本免费程序四。您是否计划加入到世界第二的？
我真的很想做两个四边形。我不知道它的两个四脚趾或两个不同的四边形，我也不知道如果我坚持两三倍axels，但有两个四边形是我对东京的目标。
所以，你更喜欢的四到三倍阿克塞尔？
当我感到自信，我知道三重阿克塞尔比四多，但我更喜欢四边形。它的更有趣，这样我觉得在一个伟大的计划。
在TEB你有你的免费程序一个灰色和黑色的服装，现在你变为红色和黑色。为什么呢？
灰色和黑色对我来说太黑了，我不喜欢它。这就是为什么我想改变颜色。我不那么喜欢这个新的服装，但我有更多的竞争中只有一个赛季，所以我会继续使用它。很多人告诉我，他们喜欢它，所以我会在它在世界滑冰也。我们的服装对我来说不是那么重要。
短节目后，你说你有一个三重卢茨心理问题。这是怎么回事？当你的土地吧，卢茨跳跃是你最好的之一，有时你还是斗争。
卢茨对我来说是很容易跳进例如免费节目，这是伟大的！我真的很喜欢工作具有4旋转卢茨，我很愿意尝试四卢茨。但在短期方案我有这么多的麻烦，这在比赛跳 - 在哥德堡，在大奖赛决赛2008年，我有这么多的错误，我将我的脚两次降落时这样跳...短节目之前，我想这一点，然后我犯了一个错误...这是困难的，因为在实践中，我从来没有错过卢茨。
所以，你应该不记得不好的回忆...
是的，就是一切！免费程序之前我并没有去想它。我想放松，我登陆卢茨完美。
在伯尔尼你再次表明，你永远是一个战士。即使你下来，你总是回来。这从何而来的力量呢？
我不想放弃。这是非常重要的。当你在比赛时，你可能会准备好，你必须付出一切。对于我来说，更重要的是在比赛中打比取胜。我是在2009年欧洲冠军，但我并不高兴的标题，因为我没有付出一切。我为这个银牌自豪，因为我打。之后，法国人在短节目很多说，我死了，我已经完成了，我给他们的答案。我知道我能够做到的。我知道我仍然可以做很多很好的成绩。我仍然要工作，我仍然要改善，但我喜欢滑冰，我喜欢竞争，所以我不会放弃。当它停止的时候，我会停下来。
十年，十年的欧洲人，十面奖牌 - 这是一个了不起的结果。
我很自豪。我不知道为什么，但我觉得在这个竞争的良好。我喜欢的欧洲锦标赛上，我试着每次奖章。我真的想成为四届欧洲冠军，但谁知道，也许在未来的赛季。我的第一个欧洲锦标赛在洛桑，我赢了我的第一个金牌，所以这使我非常关注这个比赛很有信心，我设法继续这样每年。
你有没有在洛桑欧洲人现在怎么想？也正是在瑞士，你年轻，都高兴地站在领奖台上旁边阿列克谢Yagudin。
这是令人难以置信。对我来说是一个最好的回忆。我真的很喜欢滑冰在瑞士，是因为我喜欢在法国的感觉，但我不是在法国，所以我不感到压力。我看到法国国旗在伯尔尼一个地段，大家都支持法国的选手，所以这是伟大的。
看到弗洛朗的幸福你还记得你的第一个欧洲冠军？在布达佩斯你也很高兴，虽然以不同的方式。
弗洛朗和我，我们是完全不同的。我不喜欢展示我非常想，我的感觉了。我很高兴，这是好的，但它是我的目标是成为欧洲冠军，我在这一点，所以这不是对我感到惊讶的时间。布达佩斯是一个伟大的记忆，因为我做了一个非常良好的竞争，质量好，我打叶夫根尼。
如何是法国队的比赛后？弗洛朗是你和实践的盛会晚...
我们有一两点钟才与联邦鸡尾酒，然后我们去了一家迪斯科舞厅。我上床睡觉，早上七点，所以这是非常困难的醒来。我不能做任何的盛大练习跳...我什至不知道在他的弗洛朗说梦话了，因为我太累了，我什么也听不到。
