Joubert does land quads, Plushenko, I`m afraid, just hopes/tries/wants to land them.
There is nobody to blame but himself (Plushenko) for not competing for so long and losing his jumpes, his one and only property!Of course Joubert lands quads since he is still competing after 2006 and Plushy tries to land them and to get his shape back, there is no point in comparisson,when Joubert gets his Olympic Gold Medal, stops competitions for three years and then gets his shape back maybe we can talk on the same terms.
I think fans are two fold in appreciating figure skating. Some like the CoP approach which if Joubert and Evgeni skate clean in their staccotto styles, would indeed, have high scores for their hi-level-jumps and their footwork in a sharp disconnected manner.
the man's over 40.I heard Kurt Browning cannot jump the quad anymore
um, no.I guess Joubert is better
I saw the bold bit above and in my head read it as Gristchuk/Platov and went they're back together and doing Choreography???
I presume you are saying that if he lands his quads, nothing else will matter? I kind of agree with that but I didn't want to sound biased.Why not? I`m quite sure, there would be plenty of stops for that in both of his programs! But I doubt if he is able to jump quads now at all!

Someday, they will turn off the music (praise to be) and let the skaters take on the jumps of their choices for scoring. The highest scorer should be considered the greatest skater of them all.
oh, i hope u know i was jokingthe man's over 40.
You shouldn't have any doubts cos he already has 4T and trying to do 4S.But I doubt if he is able to jump quads now at all!
Figure Skaters, Male or Female who enjoy and show enjoyment on the ice whether in shows or in competition, definitely have something in their favor. But I was talking about those fans who insist that all male figure skaters must show quad(s) in their competitive programs. Unfortunately, not all skaters can do that. Yet, using Weir as an example who has world wide appeal and has never shown a landed quad in his competititve programs but does show such musicality and flow, condtinues to be a favorite without the quad.i liked buttle's programs, the one thing i didnt like about him is his attempts in quad-falling for the points, but he played by Cop rules so fair enough..i dont know which category am I, liking also plush and lambiel and weir, basically i like figure skaters that look like they re enjoying it, either enjoying it just themselves or through the audience cheering, and the ones who make fs look easy.
If he believes he can land quads, then maybe he knows something more than you and me, I like people who fight against possibilities anyway. Mishin said the other day his body remembers quads, now he has to land them constantly, I dont know if he cares about his choreo since I m not there, but it looks like over the years he tried to do something different than usual. i know we argue about choreo but he can have one and jumb, I dont think though he can have the demanding choreo Chan does and jumb quads, but then neither Chan does it so far
Thanks for the clip, Kwanette. Evgeni does look like he wants to make the come-back and for very good reason. He wants to win it.
Oh, how adorable! :yes:
