2007 Worlds - Men FP

1 Brian JOUBERT FRA 240.85 1 3 – he played it safe, maybe too safe, he made no mistakes but there was not much passion either and I’m a little embarrassed for him to win the World title like that
2 Daisuke TAKAHASHI JPN 237.95 3 1 – he was quite a surprise, I hadn’t expected him to do this well
3 Stephane LAMBIEL SUI 233.35 6 2 – great comeback after that bad SP, one of my favorite programs from the free
4 Tomas VERNER CZE 226.25 9 4 - too bad for that fall at the end but it was a great performance and it was obvious he was very happy too, elegant costume, it would have been great to see him on the podium but it was still quite a victory for him
5 Evan LYSACEK USA 222.18 5 5 - there was no choreography there, he could have skated to any other music and chased the same jumps, some hesitations at combinations
6 Jeffrey BUTTLE CAN 214.96 2 8 – after the second fall he said goodbye to the podium, I didn’t miss him
7 Nobunari ODA JPN 209.94 14 6 – much better than in the SP
8 Johnny WEIR USA 206.97 4 10 – he doubled several jumps, better program artistically than Lysacek’s but still kinda boring, I kept waiting for him for fall and only that kept me awake
9 Kristoffer BERNTSSON SWE 206.29 15 7 – best program he’d ever done, even with the fish skin looking shirt, good for him!
10 Sergei DAVYDOV BLR 203.05 8 12 – he delivered just like he did at the Euros
11 Alban PREAUBERT FRA 202.60 10 11 - interesting choreography
12 Stefan LINDEMANN GER 198.78 16 9 – better than the SP, he was concentrating on each element
