Q meaning quad? It's legal in a free skate

It's a legal combination, but there's not really much value to attempting it based on the current free skate rules that limit quadruple jump repeats to one jump-entrance only.

I assume Ilia will try it at a challenger series at some point (just to try become the first to do it), but as you say current rules don't offer incentive.

Serious question: Did any man jump any QQ combo so far? I'm pretty sure there was none in any official international competition, but outside of it?

Ilia has in practice. At least according to his IG.

I thought Shoma Uno tried a 4T4T at one point, maybe at a WTT.

Edit: It wasn't 4T4T, it was actually 3A4T.

In practice ilia jumped many insane combos with +4T and +4Lo (not even with +eu). He landed an underrotated 4Lz+4T once iirc... If they eventually allow in the sp, that would be incentive for ilia to try it.

Although it'd be an utterly bizarre layout.... imagine:
4A
4Lz+4T
3A
....

I hope they (the ISU) will keep the rules as is on that front. I am not looking forward to seeing qq combinations. I thought the 3A-4T was quite enough. If the men will start doing QQ's, will there be any skating left?

As far as I understand, such combinations do not violate any rules. But this is simply unprofitable. Quads give a large GOE, and therefore it is better to perform such jumps separately or in combination with something less valuable.
