My votes went to Verner's and Ponsero's. Very easy and clean. Exciting to watch.

And the curmudgeon says: NO ONE's! Hate the quad! Ugly jump!


Ok, well, maybe the Quad King's were fun to watch. But none since!

Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko, and Timothy Goebel all held the title at one point

pretty sure Plushenko and Joubert are also in that list.

Is "Stephen" supposed to be Stephane Lambiel because I've never seen Stephen Carriere attempt a quad in competition. Lambiel was capable of a beauty when he was on.

My favorite quads belong to Lambiel, Ponsero, and Abbott. All 3 when they are on make the quad toe look as easy and beautiful as a triple. So many of the other options in the poll muscle the quad too much, IMO, making it look labored.

Sorry for the error. I always confuse the spelling between those two guys.

I also should have included Abbott, Bradley, Alban, another Kevin, and Voronov on the list.

My personal preference on quads was Emanuel Sandhu. His quad was absolutely beautiful when he landed it and unlike Yagudin or Pluschenko - he never broke at the waist and tipped forward on the landing.

I love Brian's jumps, but it's pretty rare that his quads are particuly huge and lately he's been strugling to do them and it shows ( a part from the quad in his SP at the COR which was beautifully done).
The same goes to Kevin: he's got great jumps, but his quads aren't all that big. He's more of a combo guy than a quad guy.
