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.
