Note! Philippe Candeloro is certainly a real showman on the ice. He has been around for a while, pleasing crowds all over the World, there is no doubt that he is the most popular skater among crowds in the whole World. If there is no doubt in his showmanship, many experts think, he is lacking on the technical side, his jumps are not done probarly and his positions in the spins aren´t good either, despite of all that he has still managed to go home to France with 2 Olympic bronze medals. Now he wants to go pro where he surely rightfully belongs. His programs are made off of themes from different movies like "Goodfather" or "Lucky Luke", lately he has done "The Three Musketers"
