Hey, that's great for Jamal!

At least one man who will hold up the Swiss flag at this season's GP's. Congrats

Super, super, greaaaaaat to see there Jamiiii !!!!

I thought he could be at Grand Prix when so many skaters wont be there... it would be nice if he skates in France when Stéph isnt there too....

Jamal has in contrary to all the other skaters not a 3 A in his progam but only a 2 A. - 3 A jump is very difficult for him to achieve a 100 % clean as he is the tallest men skater (even taller then Evan Lysacek) Every little tiny deviaition in his rotation-axis leads to a fall.
Due to this situation his TES resultat seems for me at the first glimpse not too bad with 29.94 points but only the detailed Judge resultats will show it exactly.
Was a more asthonished that he didn't got a bit higher PCS...

Thanks for the explanation Estephania.
That was my guess too, that the low result is because of the missing 3A.

Don't know what gets rewarded with a higher score, a clean 2A or a failed 3A?
No risk - no fun! Maybe it's worth trying 3A.
