In fact, & egrave; need to remember that at the beginning of the summer 'now thirty years of Poitiers had started training in tandem with the Russian figure skater Katarina Gerboldt, abandoned in the spring from its former partner Alexander Enbert. In this regard, they were also leaked rumors, the truth & agrave; never confirmed by Jobuert, about the possibility & agrave; to compete for Russia with the likes of Gerard Depardieu as supporters of the change of flag.
However, a couple of months, the three-time European champion & egrave; engaged in the French version of the TV show series "Dancing With The Stars," which, in addition to charging a success in terms of audience, is devoting more and more & ugrave; his status as a celebrity & agrave; three hundred and sixty degrees, keeping in mind that, in the mid & agrave; October & egrave; became a member of the executive committee of the French Federation of Ice Skating (FFSG. f & eacute; d & eacute; ration fran & ccedil; aise des sports de glace) with the dual task of head of youth and representative of the federation with the coaches.
Just by virtue & ugrave; of the many commitments outside the ice, many have recently wondered if it really Joubert still intends to pursue a career as a skater couple, however, in et & agrave; quite advanced. The answer would seem to leave much doubt.
As reported by "La Nouvelle R & eacute; publique," the skater said the French would not have more & ugrave; no intention to compete, implying as its current priority & agrave; is in effect the television program in which he is involved: "For me, the time of the competitions & egrave; finished. It is a concept that I have very clear in my head."
The words are by Joubert & ograve; immediately bounced in Russia. Katarina Gerboldt, confused by what they read, he asked for lights all''allenatore couple of Oleg Vassiliev, who now explained the outlines of the story to the local press: "For two months we have sent a contract that Joubert can certify the will & agrave ; to engage with Katarina until 2018. However, in response to my questions sull''argomento, his answers were always evasive: S & igrave, we'll see, not yet, maybe ... During the past week, Brian & egrave; state Moscow and about the 'grounds for non-compete more & ugrave, did not say a word. In any case, we had a verbal agreement under which concluded the television commitments, he would join us in Russia to start training in full swing . In truth, & agrave ;, are sorry, but not surprised by comporatamento Joubert. I experienced something similar in the days when I worked with the couple formed by Maria Mukhortova and Jerome Blanchard. Then, after a mediocre performance in the Championships Russians had talked about the future together and by mutual agreement we decided to continue. However, five days after the confrontation, Blanchard & egrave; left for France by his tracks and putting perci & ograve; an end to any relationship. "
Vassiliev, the l & agrave; passages sull''ipotetico contract, of course, leave the time they are, left a door open to Joubert: "You must tell us in the face if & egrave; still interested in the project or not. Katarina, after reading the 'article, I asked what he should do. If everything had blown up, we'll be looking at six months down the drain, not to mention that once you find the 'agreement to skate with Joubert, she gave up other opportunities & agrave; at its disposal remains on hold as a faithful wife. If Joubert will return & agrave ;, however, we will start to train, but before bisogner & agrave, definitively clarify the situation. "
