If that's the case, why doesn't everyone "attempt" quads even if they can't do them? I would think a clean jump would look better and more artistic even if it's not as hard. Yes, I believe you get credit if you rotated the quad (got four full revolutions), and then a point deduction for the bad landing. I think. So, a clean double is worth less than a splat-quad. Which, to the home viewer, all they see is splatting and wonder why the person who fell is in first and the person with the clean program is in third. My son's coach told him "good skaters don't have crappy landings!" and that's all I can think when I see all this falling. Count me in as not a fan of the everyone-must-do-quads.

Kolyada scored only .5 points lower than Adam on PCS? Uhhhhhh, no. Also, I really don't need to hear about how wonderful Chan's skating is when I've never seen him skate a clean program. Adam should've won that round (or at LEAST been second). So. much. collusion. I only watch ice skating during Olympic competition and have no idea what kind of janketty math is behind the scoring these days, but apparently they factor in some secret algorithm for falling down (Russian dude) and being boring and falling (Chan) that allows them to ascend to the top of heap while the guy who skated so beautifully and near perfectly (Rippon) trails behind.
