French can always surprise.
If you think you know all their cards, they still can shock you with something unexpected.
Date of birth: 11.10.1989 ; Place of birth: Grenoble ; Height: 171 cm ; Home town: Paris ; Profession: coach.
At Paris this unexpected surprise was the short program of Chafik Besseghier, who landed a breathtaking quad toe-loop, triple-toeloop combination (it earned him 15,11 points), a triple axel and a triple loop, and with 38,90 points had the second highest technical score in the field.
The long program didnt turn out for Chafik as he wished, but overall he definitely made the fans remember his name.
Are you satisfied with your performance?
Yes, the short program was very good for me and Im very happy with it.
The long program wasnt so great, because of much stress, but it is my first senior Grand Prix, so its a very good experience for me.
How did it feel to skate in front of French audience?
The crowd was wonderful, they applauded
