Meant to be a nice place to discuss the event before the start orders are available...
We need a quad counter for the FS. Zhou and Samohin will probably got for 3 quads. Anyone else?
the 3 canadian boys will bring at least one quad... and right now, based on known layouts from nationals, each one of them would present a different quad.
Who is matched with which quads?
Part 2 of Sarah Rasher's guide to the men at Junior Worlds is now available (http://thefinersports.com/2017/03/2017-junior-worlds-field-guide-men-part-2/), and it includes the following:
Conrad Orzel
Yaroslav Paniot
Alexander Petrov
Matteo Rizzo
Roman Sadovsky
Alexander Samarin
Daniel Samohin
Koshiro Shimada
Kazuki Tomono
Andrew Torgashev
Vincent Zhou
I am not sure that Sarah keeps up with the Canadian men. Conrad competed at Challenge and barely won the bronze, beating Iliya Kovler by 0.02 points (Iliya beat him in the FS). The Nationals PCS speculation also gives me a giggle because she goes onto to explain some of Conrad's issues. Also, Roman's biggest issue with the 3A is popping it. It's the jump which he pops most frequently.
