World Figure Skating Championships 2013 Mens SP and LP compared to Vancouver

All the quads attempted. Sometimes they were landed with full rotation and sometimes they were underrotated in either < or << with a fall. Tripling, doubling or singling doesn't get listed here.

Its so interesting how the sport progressed from 1988 to 2002 it has done again from 2010 to 2013!! Going from no quads to almost trying back to almost no one to almost everyone trying again!

Grand Prix FInal - Fernandez wins Long Program with 3 Quads!

Daisuke Takahashi won his first grand prix final by doing quads in both the SP and LP and was very impressive.

The major quad story was Fernandez doing the first 3 quad free skate since Brian Joubert in 2006 and winning the free skate.

When worlds happened in 2007 quads were done but the rules had changed to punish all jump underrotations severely and Jeffrey Buttle was the most hurt by that in 2007 worlds because it was a great worlds for quads overall.

So after that season and in 2008 worlds which was bad for quads and a lot were ruled UR and Buttle won with no quads and then in 2009 worlds and 2010 olympics and those two season saw the virtual elimination of quads from most skaters programs especially the SP. SP's became all triple events those two season for most.

But now things have changed and mens skating is back on track and quads are in SP and LP and you have a return of a 3 quad winning free skate. Kevin Reynolds has been attempting 3 quad free skates but now Fernandez has turned one into a winning LP at the GPF.

All medalists in mens did quads in SP and LP

Good to see that quads were done by medalists and also losers in both the SP's and LP's. When quad mistakes were severely punished and success underrewarded it would be an amazing sight to see even one attempted in a LP. But now with rules that mean skaters don't risk no points and get over 10 points they are back. Now SP's include skaters demonstrating all possible jump skills. No more "SP is way to important to try a quad-it's stupid to do quads" they are everywhere. This is not the 2008- 2010 era of quads being the worst and dumbest thing in the world a skater could do.

Junior Worlds- Notable for Sui/Han!

Sui/Han of China won pairs and Han Yan of China won mens singles and both did quads in their free skates. Han Yan did a quad toe and Sui/Han did a quad throw salchow and a quad twist! They are doing very well with the technical elements. It used to be they would do one quad but mess up on another. They would get the quad throw but underrotate the quad twist but now they got both. They just have to worry about her and getting taller. Her getting taller seems inevitable.

Chan did three quads to win 4CC again. Last time Chan won 4CC it convinced Evan Lysacek not to do them anymore. Chan beat Lysacek who did a quad and out went quads for Lysacek. But now there is a different underrotation system and value system and quads are all over the place.

Sui/Han of China did a quad throw and quad twist

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.

GPF quads Jr. & Sr

Patrick Chan won the Senior Grand Prix Final doing a quad triple in the short and a quad double in the LP plus another quad toe loop.

Two skaters did quads in their free skates in the Junior Grand Prix final. Too bad Han Yan didn't win.

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.

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.

Great performance by Kevin Van Der Perren who came close to gold!

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.

Not a lot of quads to report on. Sui/Han did a two footed throw quad salchow which is an impressive move even with that flaw.

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.
