From 1996-2013, the & rsquo; event is continuously held at the "Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy" in Paris, back from a & rsquo; major operation & ldquo; make-up & rdquo; which ended recently.
For the & rsquo; eleventh time in history, the French round will & agrave; in the fourth calendar.
AREA MEN
The men's competition will see & agrave; the starting five pretenders to the final four of them on the podium in the North American stages.
Two years away from the world record set in Paris, the twenty-four Canadian Patrick Chan, who won less than two weeks ago at Skate Canada, will return & agrave; to compete in & rsquo; beloved France, the land which has always had a special feeling. They can not, in fact, be sure the victory in the World Cup in Nice in 2012 and the four statements in Troph & egrave; and Eric Bompard, one less than Alexei Yagudin. The seasonal record holder, baster & agrave; third place to go in the final, but, depending on the results that will mature in the last three stages, not & egrave; possible that a fourth place can be more & ugrave; that sufficient. The twenty-two US Max Aaron, with the moral through the roof for the convincing victory in the stage of the house, is in the same situation of Chan and potr & agrave; approach the race with a wide range of results available and the & rsquo; aim of bringing the United States in the final after four long years.
Andr & agrave; then staged the & rsquo; interesting comparison between the Japanese Shoma Uno, second at Skate America, and Daisuke Murakami, third at Skate Canada. The seventeen year old junior world champion with a spot d & rsquo; honor should secure the prize trip to Barcelona, ​​but in this case will have & agrave; wait at least a week to get the & rsquo; & ufficialit agrave; math. It & rsquo ;, however, pi & ugrave; the complex situation of & rsquo; pupil of Frank Carroll, probably obliged to win to reach the final. In & rsquo; last calendar year, the direct matches are played in absolute equality & agrave; as One preceded Murakami in national championships, but the roles have been reversed in the Four Continents Championships.
Sar & agrave; the game also Russian Maxim Kovtun, winner in Bordeaux last season, but returned from a starting seasonal subdued.

The role of loose cannon will touch & agrave; the Kazakh Denis Ten, still chasing the first win in the Grand Prix and, in top condition, perfectly able to break the bank.
