The European Quad Squad

What's a N.American or Japanese guy gotta do to get in that Club?

Daisuke has landed quads before and he landed one at SA this year. So did Kevin Van Der Perrin. Scott Smith and Rohene Ward have been landing quads and quad combos consistently at their qualifiers (and Scott landed his at nebelhorn or some other international competition).

And don't forget Sandhu.

Also Li.

Um...land a quad?

You know I'm looking for consistency - not just one shot lucky one.

Hehe if you were looking for a one shot, then Jeff could have been added (well really, he's stood up on it twice, he just put his hands down the 2nd time...), and not this year, but in the past, Emanuel's has been fairly consistent (but then again, so was Tim's).

I still think the ultimate Quad King is Li - they are way too easy for him.

I still think the ultimate Quad King is Li - they are way too easy for him.

And he's been landing them consistently for a long time.

I was thinking about Li and other Chinese guys when I read Joe's original post. The Chinese are right up there with the Euro Quad Squad. North Am. and Japan are at a disadvantage on the technical score (but have great prospects in presentation-artistry-basic skating skills).

Li is a very consistent quad-executer. Despite faltering in the Cup of China LP this year, he typically has flawless jumping technique. Sandhu is also good enough to join in the club, IMO.

I think Johnny Weir should be that, doesn't matter that he is not doing quarts :yes:
