Joubert is the first Frenchman to become World Champion in 42 years since Alain Calmat was World Champion in 1965. He also was the first French man to win the European title in 40 years when he took the gold in 2004. He started to skate at age four because his two elder sisters skated. Originally, he wanted to play ice hockey, but his mother signed him up for figure skating lessons. Joubert immediately liked the jumping. He won the bronze medal in his debut at the 2002 European Championships. His short program has been especially composed for him. Joubert withdrew from the Trophee Bompard due to illness but recovered in time for French Nationals in December. Coach Jean-Christophe Simond is the 1981 and 1982 European silver medalist.
