Mikhail Shaidorov 4T+4T Combo

The newly crowned Olympic champion posted on his Instagram story of him jumping quad toe+quad toe combination. Maybe we will see him perform this jump in the upcoming season?

the state of quad-jumping is fascinating bc there seems to be a weird pattern where you have to sacrifice one more common quad to do one less common quad. daniel grassl, one of the few skaters who can do a 4Lo, has never done a 4T in competition. shun sato, the only current japanese skater with a 4Lz, hasn't attempted a 4S since he was 16 years old. nikolaj memola can do both a 4F and a 4Lz, but not a 4T or a 4S. out of everyone who has done a 4Lo in the past two years (excluding russians), only ilia can also do a 4F. the average number of different quads someone at the top level can jump somehow evens out to about two either way. it's just that sometimes we have the gogolevs, who can jump 4T and 4S, and sometimes we have the memolas, who can jump 4F and 4Lz. quadg0d georg, who can jump all six different types of quads, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

This is about the war, but the qrts were really all asking what Sasha could teach and say that she wouldn't be able to teach anything.....

Like .... Did they all forget that she was the 1st woman to land the 4T (quad toe loop), 4F (quad flip) and the 4Lz (quad Lutz) in competition???? 3 out of 6 possible quads!!

Say what you will about her artistry (I agree it could use improvement), but saying she has nothing to teach is just plain willful ignorance.

upon very careful thought and reflection I have come to the conclusion that hanyu yuzuru’s 4lz needs to be called ‘lutzuru’

Trusova quad jump height

I’m really impressed by how much the height on Trusova’s 4T has improved.

Here is her 4T at 2018 Junior Worlds which was only 49.18625 (38 frames from 60 FPS video).

Here is her 4T at 2018 JGPF which was 62.9815625 cm (43 frames from 60 FPS video).

Here's an old measurement of her 4S from JWC that she no longers attempts this season: it's 49.18625 cm (38 frames from 60 FPS video).

Here’s her first 4Lz from JGPF, which was 54.5 cm (40 frames from 60 FPS video).
