Considering what happened in the Olympics, I found it somewhat surprising that Miki was still going for a quad at the Worlds this year despite the seemingly low success rate (as far as it was reported), until Mr. Morosov made the decision not to try it at the last minute. It seemed that she really wanted to bring it back to her program.
Mao also said somewhere after the Worlds that she wants to restart practicing it.
But the general view of the people in FS forums seems that a quad is too risky for ladies in so many ways:
The biggest concern seems to be the risk of injuries. Others doubt if ladies can master a quad to the extent that they consistently land it in competitions. Some others also mentioned psychological pressures that a difficult jump brings about. I totally agree with each of them.
I wonder what makes these two ladies to be so motivated to do this jump.
1. Can't clean Miki without a quad have any hope for beating clean Mao without a quad?
2. Can't clean Mao with one or two triple axel(s) beat clean Miki with a quad?
