At the Cup of Austria -a part of the Junior Grand Prix season World Junior Champs Wenjing Sui and Comg Han of China coached by Luon Bo (former partner of coach Yao Bin) won silver after their free skate included a throw quad salchow and an attempted quadruple twist. They got negative GOE on the throw quad salchow (because she two footed the landing) but the twist attempt was downgraded.
The throw quad was great aside froom the landing. She obviously got in four rotation and the look of the jump was exactly how it should look in my view.

You see Kavaguit and Smirnov of Russia try it all the time but it rarely looks as good as when Sui/Han did it today!
Sui did seem too low to get a full quad twist in.
The Gold Medal winners Stilbova and Klimov have great unison and it is not surprising at all that they won but I think if Sui and Han hadn't both fallen (I guessed Sui looked like she slipped more than fell on a jump) they would have won.
