Euros - Gachinski quad king

Artur Gachinski gave the performance of his senior career at Euros. It was a spectacular showing that was totally overshadowed by the performance of Evgeni Plushenko. Plushenko was narrowly beaten by Gachinski in the SP when he did a quad triple but Plushenko because of knee issues did not do one. Gachinski had the better SP and better jumps. He was really deserving of that first place in the SP. All throughout the GP season Gachinski was overshadowed by Michal Brezina and Javier Fernandez. Just like last season Gachinski appears to be doing best after nationals. Brezina and Fernandez were just no match for Gachinski at Euros. His performance was the most impressive to me. Plushenko did open with a quad and did a flaw free triple axel -triple toe combo in the LP and had a better program in the LP. It was opposite the SP in which Gachinski was far better than the .09 margin he had there.

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.

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.

Artur Gachinski wins again in Coupe Internationale de Nice

After winning Finlandia with a program that had a quad in the free skate Gachinski went to Nice and did a quad in his short program and a quad in the long program. His coach is Alexei Mishin and it is beginning to look like Gachinski will have a very good first year in Seniors.

In the short program it was a quad toe triple toe with a base value of 14.40 -because of a three turn in between the quad and triple he got negative goe totaling 1.50 points. The total was 12.90. He placed first with 77.91 points.

Konstantin Menshov did a quad toe double toe combo 11.70 BV plus .75 GOE for a total 12.45. He placed second with 73.23 points in the short.

Free Skate

Gachinski 4T - BV 10.30 +1.25 GOE total 11.55.

Menshov did a quad toe double toe combo and a solo quad.

4t+2t BV 11.70 Final Value 13.70 GOE 2.00

4t 10.30 -1.00 final value 9.30

He finished in second place with his second silver of the season. In previous seasons Menshov would do badly in short programs and have to recover in the long but this season he is having his best short programs ever and after Nebelhorn and now Nice with solid short programs he has won two medals. Whatever changed in his training has basically worked!

Alban Preaubert opened with a 3t-assume quad attempt.

Javier Fernandez fell after doing a fully rotated quad-worth 7.30

Liebers tried -did a 3T as opening jump

Chafik Besseghier 4t+2t bv 11.70 final value with GOE 12.70. His jumps are very impressive.
