Cup of Russia

Cup of Russia was really best for Javier Fernandez! Doing two different kinds of quads like they were easy. He singled and doubled jumps later in the program but it was largely a good display. Hanyu, Brezina and Abbott had a lot of trouble. Artur Gachinski did not land a quad. Fell on both attempts. Rotated them though. Needs some adjustments.

Trophee Eric Bompard-Chan and Song bring it

Winner Patrick Chan did three quads

Silver Medalists Nan Song also did three quads.

Bronze medalists didn't do a quad. He may have attempted a quad salchow.

Great display of quad triples from Chan and Song. With better PCS for Song this could become closer.

Rippon attempted a quad Lutz- it was downgraded worth 4 points.

Cup of China- Great performance by Nan Song!

Except for the great showing of Nan Song Cup of China was not very good. There was just a failure to deliver and be consistent. There was a good program by Abbott and he did attempt a quad so that was a signal that he will try to have the jumps this season. He has a good program but the jumps are not there yet.

Nan Song did a quad in the SP and LP but was really kind underscored in PCS.

Oda says he wasn't doing quads because of injury. He did some great 4/3's last season.

Skate Canada 2011!

Patrick Chan won Skate Canada again successfully doing two quads while rotating another that he fell on. Javier Fernandez did two quad toe loops and one quad salchow. Impressive GP performance by him and the first time he did a quad in a SP. At worlds 2011 he did the toe loop and the salchow in the free skate.

Sui/Han of China did a quad twist in their free skate.

First competition where four quads were attempted. Takahashi tried the quad flip and Rippon tried the quad lutz. Brandon Mroz had his attempt ratified at a non-ISU event which has been the standard in the past.

Skate America

Skate America immune to the so called rebirth of quad-mania again as winner doesn't even attempt one! Last year you had attempts by the winner but not this year.

Good for Kozuka trying for one in the short. He is trying to expand his technical as he aims for Chan.

World Figure Skating Championships 2011 Moscow

Patrick Chan of Canada newly armed with quads would shatter all records at this championships. He did two quad triples and another quad. The qaulity of his quadruple toe loops was really impressive. Two skaters Michal Brezina and Javier Fernandez did both a quad toe loop and a quad salchow. All the medalists did quads. Nearly everyone in the top 10 tried one. It was remarkbale. The combination of rule changres and trying to catch Patrick Chan was largely responsible. The rule changes made them less punitive and Chan doing them with his sky high PCS scores and excellent spins and step sequences made him the leader all season. Would this have happened under the old rules? Impossible to say. Here is the rundown of all the quads done.

Four Continents Quad and quad attempts

Last time Daisuke Takahashi won 4CC he did so with the highest Free skate score ever and which still stands. Part of that was doing two clean quad toe loops - one in combination. This time he won but with a quad that he fell on and which was downgraded. He started out the season good on quads but I guess near the end of the season his injuries are preventing clean quad attempts. Silver medalist Yazuru Hanyu did a clean quad and bronze medalist Jeremy Abbott fell on his attempt.

Short Program quads

8th Place (in SP) Kevin Reynolds did a 4S+3T which got negative GOE. BV for that was 14.60 and he got 14.03. His quad toe loop was called underrotated so he got 4.20 points out of a base value of 7.20 for a underrotated quad toe loop.

Long program quads and quad attempts- so many attempts!

1st place (FS) - Daisuke Takahashi 4T<< fall 4.10 - 2.10 = 2.00

2nd place - Takahiko Kozuka 4T fall 10.30 - 3.00 = 7.30

3rd place - Yuzuru Hanyu 4T 10.30 + 2.00 = 12.30

4th place - Jeremy Abbott 4T< fall 7.20 - 3.00 = 4.20

6th place - Jinlin Guan 4T fall 10.30 - 3.00 = 7.30

11th place - Kevin Reynolds 4S< fall 7.40 - 3.00 = 4.40
4T fall 10.30 - 3.00 = 7.30

2011 Winter Universiade quads

Not a major competition but quads were done. Nobunari Oda won and he didn't go all out with jumps so no quads from him! Silver was Sergei Voronov and he is still injured so no quads. Bronze went to Daisuke Murakami who did try quads. He tried a quad salchow.

Short Program quads
4th place Jinlin Guan 4t underrotated fell 4.20 points from a BV of 7.20
12th place Chafik Besseghier 4t+3t BV 14.40 he got 15.20 from good GOE. He then doubled a triple axel and triple lutz. Oops.

Long program quads
3rd place Jinlin Guan 4t BV 10.30 he got 8.10 because of negative GOE
5th place Daisuke Murakami 4S BV 10.50 he fell so negative 3 GOE across the board for a score of 7.50. He also got a 1 point deduction for falling. So 6.50.

Euro Mens winner quadless!!!

Last year all medalists did quads and tried quad combos. This year the winner didn't attempt a single non combo quad. This in the year of the quad return. Obviously Joubert made a mistake in the short program falling on a triple Lutz and Verner falling on a triple axel. But the long is supposed to matter more and they did quads so this whole event has a pretty shocking ending!

2010-Plushenko did 2 quads
2009-Joubert did quads
2008-Verner did a quad
2007-Joubert did a quad
2006-Plushenko did quads
2005-Plushenko did quads

This wasn't a bad competition for quads. Lots of great quads were done. Joubert, Verner, Gachinski, Menshov, Van Der Perren. So many great quads!!

No quads in prelims
