OK, not as competitors of course, but as choreographers of Joubert.

Translation of the important parts by google:
"Albena and Maxim goes to Europeans
Posted: Sunday, 17th January 2010

Denkova and Staviski depart for a European figure skating.
Double world champion dance couples will be in Tallinn this week, but not as competitors. Their presence in the hall "Saku" in the Estonian capital is the title holder for the men from last season's Brian Joubert.
Albena and Maxim help of the French figure skater in the choreography for his new programs and a few days ago worked with Joubert in Poitiers, where he trained. Great view of Brian, however, is a gold medal at the Olympics in Vancouver next month. (...)
In Tallinn, a former world champion will have a great competition. The ice will come out the winner of the Olympic title Yevgeny Plyushchenko and Stefan Lambiel, with two gold medals from the world. And Russian, Swiss and returned to the races this season. There are also understate Tomas Verner (Cech), European champion in 2008 and silver medalist at the past continental championship Samuel containers (IT).
Bulgaria will be represented by state champion Sonia Radeva, Georgi Kenchadze and Nina Ivanova-Philippe Zalevski in pairs."

Sorry Vania ! I had a writing mistake in the link ! It´s corrected now and should work! For me it opens now!

Congrats really to French skating federation!!
They "forgot" to inform Brian that he can enter the hotel and the rink earlier than normal...
Result: Plushenko is training in Tallinn since Friday, Verner and Brzina since Saturday and Sunday... And Brian will arrive today, 1 day before the competition, and has less training time now on Estonian ice. Perfect competition start really!
Congrats!!

Brian missed the today´s official men´s practice . The same for Alban Préaubert. All the other men were practicing...

Not a surprise since he was suppoused to arrive to Tallinn just today.

Thank you Petra!!

Sorry, I know I´m a little bit off topic with this post, but I just watched this vid from yesterdays US Nationals.

I think, Brian, Steph, Tomas, Michal, Plushe and Co. should better not watch this. It would be too depressing for all of them, I fear... :

Jeremy Abbott, and his incredible "unofficial" new world record in men´s figure skating, yesterday at US Nationals 2010. He received unbelievable 263,66 points. Unreachable for Brian and Co..

And sorry again for the off topic, but I thought maybe this vid is good for comparisons...

Thanks for the videos, girls, especially for Steph's practices (Petra )! But or the moment I can't watch them all, because the internet is too slow now . Erm... am I the only one who thinks that Jana's costume is too much... I don't know what to say... too odd...even for them

And Petra, this is awful! I mean about the French federation ! How can they "forgot" to inform him! I hope this "mistake" won't influence on his performance!

Brian said in an interview that he wanted to arrive on Saturday. But the French Federation told him that´s not possible. There are "rumours" (or better more than this ) now that the French Federation tries to save money with such a behaviour...
Not only enough with this: Brian has had problems with his yesterdays flight too. He arrived late and with delay yesterday evening at 23 o´clock in Tallinn. Despite this he today was in a good shape during the training and has had a good practice with two successful quads and a lot of triples...

Photos from Brian at training.
But: No Albena, no Max on the pics...

Yes, Vala, me too, I think it's the first time Congrats for them!!!
Unfortunately, Eurosport started the broadcast too late and we didn't watch them... And our commentator said that probably they won't show them today either . I hope some other TV channel will broadcast the entire competition and we can watch videos at least.

I saw them on Russian Sport channel. But didn't manage to record. They still have a lot to perfect. Hope they'll work hard and be much better next year (anyway I definitely prefer them to poor Rumiana )

Mr. Brian at least has a "small medal" now for the SP ... Nice "colour": silver ...

A perfect programme of Brian (OK, he has had only a double in the combination ), with new seasonal best for him in the SP !
And when we take into consideration that the SP always was his weak programme this season, and that this season the LP that is to come always was his strong part, then we can really have hope now!

Gooooo Brian!!

P.S.: Max can be seen in the video above . For me it´s always strange to see him "at the other side of the rink" now, but I presume that´s something we will get used to during the next years now...

Thank you, Viki ! Aliona really has done a good job yesterday after her illness and the lack of training ! Hopefully she will have the strength for the LP this evening, too !
