It's a triple axel, not quad axel. But yes, confirmed plan for the SP.

In addition to having several factual errors, that article is really poorly written. At some points, it's so bad, I'm not even sure WHAT they're talking about.

I also thought this was April fools....
I honestly wish they'd stop trying to add to their tech score at this point and try to focus on their presentation- I don't think they'll ever be truly great artists or that this will ever be their strength, but I also don't think they are near the best they can be, whereas honestly, there isn't much to add now technically.

I wonder how they will do that since frankly their Quad Salchow's landing aren't even ideal.
I disagree, the have to up their tech to have a chance of winning the big titles. Because of her stature they're limited artistically, they've already come very far in that regard imho. I don't think there's much room for them to grow artistically. And with Sui/Han's and Stolbova/Klimov's tech content they have to do something. I don't think they can beat either of those teams if they've got the lower tech score.
And they're already doing the quad salchow, if I'm not much mistaken the throw technique for the axel is not so very different. So I don't think it's a joke.
I'm sure she'll be able to control the landing.
I really liked their reaction after the SP, they were really happy about their performance and their score and it didn't seam that they'd any problem with being in 2nd place. That's the spirit!

Honestly, they can focus on their presentation (which IMO they did this season), improve greatly, and people will still bash them because they don't have the "look" of a stereotypical pairs team. Might as well continue to push the technical envelope as they have been doing, which has clearly been key to their success.

Lol the quad axel was a joke. But a throw triple axel in the SP is a neat goal for them. Probably not a smart one given how few points it is, but they can make more history so I say go for it.

Pardon my digression and immaturity, but I can't stop giggling at how in the article Kirsten MT referred to her and Mike losing levels on their death spiral and step sequence as "sucky". 
Back on the main topic, Rosie DiManno is probably one of the worst figure skating journalists ever, and that's even when she's not writing an April fools article...

I agree with that but I would love for them to work on their edges at least. I would love to see more flow coming out of throw jumps. Their elements are good but I would love to see them executed better. Higher 3Tw and hold the edge a little longer in throws would be a very obvious and nice improvement for me
Man I need to get a vegan/yoga lifestyle if this is what Meagan can do. She's seriously one of a kind when it comes to landing these jumps.

I immediately thought it was an obvious April's Fool story but continued reading some reactions. Clicked the link and sure enough, it was published April 1, 2016.
A good A P joke should not be so obvious. The only bit of remote credibility is due to the the lateness of it being brought to our attention.
eta I really take issue with
Marinaro is a poor thrower and lifter and it was a nasty fall suffered by both, especially Christen, but he did catch her and I gave him credit for holding on to her while falling himself until he hit the ice flat.
