Who's IN the Mens Final?

[Blades of Passion]

Yep, pretty awesome.

I wish Kozuka would have made the GPF instead of Joubert, though, LOL.

It would have been a total American vs. Japanese battle!!!

I have a query about the possible jump content permitted in a man's FS. As I cannot find what other thread to ask it in & it may be a possible happening at the GPF or another upcoming major competition I am asking it here, hoping that one of you knowledgeable posters may know the definative answer.

I seem to remember (though I can no longer locate the protocals) that when Daisuke set his record FS score at 4CCs in 2008 he landed two quad toes, two triple toes & two triple axels. The ISU guidelines (if I have understood them correctly) state that a quad & triple of the same type count as different jumps - does this mean that a skater can still repeat two different triples as well as a quad? Or have the rules changed since 2008 4CCs?

Thanking you in anticipation
