It doesn't make sense to replace one 4T with a 4S in the long program. The value of 4S is only 0.2 point higher than that of a 4T. And Patrick's 4T should be more stable that his 4S.
The disadvantage of adding 4S to SP could be: none of the three jumps is easy now. NOw if he fails to add a 3T to the 4T, he can always add it to the 3Lz. If the 4S is included, there is a good chance he won't be able to add the 3T to either 4S or 4T (rules forbid adding it to 3A, I think). He will lose about three points in TES as a result, plus the PCS loss inccured.
All great points!
Brian Joubert did 3 quad LP only once. Tim Goebel had 3 quad LP. Mayby Reynolds had 3 quad Lp? Patrick is the most artistic skater among these 3 quad LP skaters. If Patrick could do it, he'd push the bar even higher than anyone has ever done.
