He plans on changing his short program for the 2006 State Farm U.S. Championships to include the quad. He said that Evgeny Plushenko, Stephane Lambiel and Brian Joubert will be doing them at the Olympics, and that having one in his program for St. Louis was important.
The subject of the quad and its value came up with Goebel as well.
“Novices at nationals do triple Lutz-triple toe,” he said.
When asked what point value a quad should be worth, Goebel said that whatever the difference in points is between a double jump and a triple—the difference between triple and quad should be twice as high.
“If this is a sport, we need to do the whole Faster Higher Stronger thing,” he said.
Goebel also commented that he would like to be a technical specialist when he's done competing, and that he wouldn't necessary need the instant reply since he can spot a two-footed jump from the upper level of the arena.
His music choices for Marshalls are his Adagio program that he used on Champions on ice and an encore would be his short program.
