...Should we take this to the quads thread? I mean, we're still talking about Kovtun, but since the mods specifically made a quads thread to keep this one on topic...?
We can make a decent case that he "should" (I know some posters here will really disagree, but I think there's a case for it). I don't think he would (but who knows, TAT's politiking could change that). But kinda a moot point because I doubt Kovtun will be able to hit 5 quads more than once every two seasons, if at all.A clean Gachinski packed in an interesting program from Tarasova and with only 3 quads would beat Kovtun with 5 quads.
I have the feeling, that if any russian male skater will have decent jumps and loads of charisma, will overtake Kovtun in no time. Just my impression. A clean Gachinski packed in an interesting program from Tarasova and with only 3 quads would beat Kovtun with 5 quads.
