Looks like Brian Joubert has once again lost the French Masters, this time to Florent Amodio. I don't think this means much; he lost last year and look at the season he ended up having. I don't know much about Amodio, but perhaps he will be one to watch. Also, if anyone has any English-language articles on this, feel free to send them to me. From what I can gather, Amodio bested Joubert, last year's champ, Alban Preaubert, and Yannick Ponsero.
