ISU GP #3 - Grand Prix de France - Angers, FRA - 3-5 Nov. 2023
The Entries, by discipline, can be found here: https://results.isu.org/events/fsevent00117428.htm
After the late withdrawal of Daniel Grassl, Stephen Gogolev has now been assigned to this event
Grassl has withdrawn from both of his GPs as investigation continues into his missing of compulsory drug testing, apparently due to a failure to report his location while training in Russia.
The time and practice schedule link: https://results.isu.org/schedules/gpfra ... hedule.pdf
A reminder that Europe has already had their clocks "fall back" from Daylight Saving Time. That means that on Friday and Saturday Angers is 5 hours ahead of EDT and on Saturday it is 6 hours ahead of ET, the usual difference.

Apparently, since there are no CDN women competing, Skate Canada doesn't even want to mention that part of the competition

Stephen Gogolev was a very late replacement skater and he thinks that may even have helped him!

I am very happy I could show a clean program jump-wise today. Some points to surely improve on.
I learned that I will skate here last week Thursday or Friday. I pushed really hard after that, did three very intense training days as I actually had thought I would have a longer period without a competition.
I was less nervous than ahead of Skate America. Maybe that helped me today!

The podium photos (in the order presented)
Danielle Earl is not only a wonderful skating photographer, she is a dedicated fan - today she was watching three competitions simultaneously, including the Grand Prix de France and two (or three) CDN sectionals!!
Meanwhile, the Europe on Ice team, whose photos of the medalists and top 3 I have shared today and yesterday and who took the podium photos above, finished their day in Angers with food from the "Golden Arches"
