First international competition for Brian this year, and first medal at the Skate America in Atlantic City. Well, Brian sure had hope to keep the title he won last year, but several mistakes kept him from the first place. Some stumbles on the quad and on the triple Axel, with also an problem in the step sequence, Brian was tense during his short program. He redeemed himself in the free where, despite the fall on the opening quad and a hand down the loop, he complete the whole set of triple, and finish second. Brian finished third overall, 3.5 points from the silver medal of Evan Lysacek, with the japanese skater Daisuke Takahashi winning the gold medal. The other french skater Yannick Ponsero did well for his debut on the international senior scence, with a 5th place.
