A quad from a GP winner returned at Trophee Eric Bompard. Takahiko Kozuka did a quad but there was a two foot landing so he got negative GOE on it-getting less than the base value.
Short Program Quads
3rd place Brandon Mroz. Quad toe loop triple toe loop combo worth 14.40 Mroz because of negatie GOE got 13.40.
4th Place making his senior GP debut was Chafik Besseghier did a perfect text book quad triple and his was worth 15.11!
5th place was Brian Joubert who underrotated his quad attempt and then added a single toe loop. He got all -3 from judges in GOE and the point value ended up being 4.60. He would withdraw from the free skate and this was the second time he underotated a quad.
7th place - Kevin Reynolds opened with a flawed quad salchow triple toe loop combo that got him 10.36 points which was under the base value of 11.50. He attempted a quad toe loop but underrotated it and fell so that was worth 4.20 points with the fall really 3.20.
Free Skate
1st place Takahiko Kozuka got 9.01 points for his slightly two footed quad toe loop attempt.
3rd place Brandon Mroz 10.16 for his quad toe loop. Better than Kozuka's as they are worth 10.30.
4th place Kevin reynolds. Quad Salchow BV 10.50 Reynolds got 11.o7 with plus GOE. His quad toe loop was again underrotated and he fell so 4.20 again.
7th place Chafik Besseghier tried a quad triple I think but singled the quad so that single toe loop was worth. .24 points. Ouch!
8th place Peter Liebers opened with a triple toe loop which I thought was supposed to be a quad but maybe it's not. This would be the 3rd or 4th time he tripled a quad attempt and I don't think that's likely. I think his plan is to open with a easy triple toe and get good GOE on it. It was worth 5.10 points.

Cup Of Russia
Lots of great quads in the short program but by the free skate there was not one good one! Not from one person!
Short Programs
In the Mens skate Patrick Chan did a great quad toe loop - triple toe loop which got big GOE points. 14.40 plus 1.86 for a total of 16.26. Great accomplishment for him! It is like he was doing quad triples his whole career. Then he fell on a triple axel. Hope he puts them together soon.
Artur Gachinski did a quad toe loop + double toe loop. 11.70 + .43 = 12.13
Konstantin Menshov also did a quad-double and he scored 12.41 so better than Gachinski but he then doubled a triple loop.
Free Skate
Free Skate was a disaster for people who tried quads! They all failed
Chan underrotated and fell getting him 4.20 points but with the fall was really like 3.20
Abbott underrotated and fell getting the same score as Chan.
Preubert underrotated and fell!
Hanyu tripled it
Gachinski doubled it.
Machida underrotated but did not fall so got 5.06
Javier Fernandez did it but then fell. Some judges didn't give him -3 in GOE just -2 because he did land it for a second so 7.73 points
Konstantin Menshov had two planned but tripled one and doubled another.
It was just terrible. And that doesn't even factor in winner Tomas Verner who did them most of his career but doesn't do them anymore. But unlike Skate America a medal winner did do one at least so congrats to Patrick Chan who is now the standard bearer for quads! Didn't that would ever be written by anyone! LOL!

Skate America- Congrats Sui/Han!
The pairs team from China did a flawed quad throw salchow but showed they had the stamina and ability to do one consistently from competition to competition. Wish the men had that. Of course the quad trend would end at Skate America-home of the quadless Olympic Champ.
No quads in the short from any man.
2 quads in the long by Kevin Van Der Perren and Adrian Schultheiss.
Not doing or completing planned quads were Oda and Takahashi or Stephen Carriere.
Pairs - with medal winners who did a quad
4STh-Quad throw salchow BV 8.00 - 1.57 GOE total 6.43
Worst comp of the season for men

Cup Of China
Third Grand Prix event and third mens winner who did a quad. Also in pairs Sui/Han did a quad throw salchow. Sui messed up on the landing a little but that quad throw was well done and no doubt about her doing four revolutions!
Takhito Kozuka did one in his free skate that with negative GOE was worth 9.30 points. Even with the negative GOE it might have been one of his best quads ever. Brandon Mroz was the surprise silver medalist mostly due to his quad and other jumps. Bronze went to now quadless Tomas Verner who is not going to be doing the jump to gain consistency. The root of his problems last season was apparently the quad was using too much of his energy and focus? Only thing I can think of.
Short program
2-Brian Joubert 4t+3t
4-Brandon Mroz 4t+3t
5-Sergei Voronov 4t+1t
8-Jinlin Guan 4t
Long Program
1-Takahito Kazuka
2-Brandon Mroz
5-Brian Joubert 4t< - He slightly underrotated his one official quad. Think he also attempted a quad salchow but tripled it.
6-Tatsuki Machida -4T fell -7.30
7-Jinlin Guan-4T fell -7.30
Voronov had to withdraw because he hurt himself on his opening quad and so did not finish his free skate. Best showing still goes to Artur Gachinski.
Sui/Han quad throw salchow was worth 6.71 though the bv is 8 points. They came in second nearly beating Pang/Tong who were off. Well Pang was off with her jumps.
