So the rule change allows for 1 repeated quad. That means Nathan can still do 6 quads if he brings back 4Lo, although it remains to be seen if that is the best strategy. Time to start comparing potential layouts.

Rule change doesn't bother me. They'll make it work and I wouldn't mind him not doing 6 quads, but like you said, he still could even with the rule change.

Nike shirt and fluff, easy to recognize him even with that blurry pic.

Back to his second home, aka, Japan

 

[oatmella]

well - at least the new rules allow for one quad to be repeated. And one triple ?

I don’t know about him having all 5 different quads in one program - we will see! Also 3A combo - if he could get comfortable with one - can get quite a few points.

Nice to see Nathan - even if not very clear.

He'd probably just drop either extra 4T or 4F depending on what he's feeling that day. The 6 quad program is something he did twice successfully, it's not some major change to go back to 5.

I'm interested in what they come up with. I'm sure Raf and him will crunch the numbers and come up with some interesting combos.

And he has done two 3A's before in a program, back when it was super scary too.

Intermission report from Nagano. Nathan will skate his program in the second half, but in the opening number he was paired off with Javier and wore a white shirt with black pants.
