I could watch Emanuel watching himself the program of Stephane Lambiel
in Washington. I was wondering what he was doing and I was afraid that
it could be a distraction for him.
But like you were already talking about it was not - this time he
could hold it together. For the second time he made the Top Ten and he
did it 3 times, in every part of the competition.
Congratulations - well done. Things have become much more better this
way.

On the other hand I was astonished about the marks - especially for
artistic impression - Emanuel got there. His skating was not perfect
but it was without bigger errors. Other skaters performed much more
wrong and got 5,6 and more though they had different mistakes.
The judges seem to prefer the "Dynamics", thats why it will stay
a hard way for the young Canadian in the future too.

IMO he should have got higher marks than Dawydow and he was not far
away from heaven to Brian Joubert and Michael Weiss. But this is not
what judges told us.

Hope I could explain what I wanted to say. Is there something (besides
consistent quads and triple-triples) Emanuel should do to please the
judges better than he did at worlds apparently?

Best regards from Germany
