OK, yes, the quads in the FS were poor, but there was also the SP, which is why Bradley had the buffer that he did. He did 4T+3T, 3A, 3F. Not too shabby in the jump department.
I wasn't complaining. Just pointing out that the 2010-2011 rules give huge rewards for quads without much regard for quality.
I think this was a deliberate decision on the part of the ISU, to reduce the negative GOEs on a quad.
For historical reasons, has it ever happened that a world champion or someone with many medals, didnt deliver at the next year nationals and they gave him another chance?
I don't think so. But sometimes there is a suspicion that the old champion is given inflated scores at Nationals just to make sure this problem doesn't arise.
and Mathman, these were the worst two quads in fs history? !!
There have been worse, but with an appropriate penalty. Ryan got away stark free.
