What you have planned on paper doesn't mean much if you can't execute it.
That said, I think Javier would the first to land 5 quads in a competition.
Hasn't Kevin Reynolds already done this? He plans 5 quads all the time. Then again, planned =/= landed. Same goes for every one of these guys planning 5 quads. I expect to see 3 landed on a good day. Especially since Javi and Kovtun both have pop problems. (I have a feeling Javi could end up landing all his quads but messing up his other jumps, thus losing to Yuzuru anyway).
I'd rather see someone plan 3 good quads and land them all, rather than planning 5 and landing 2. If these guys can land 5 quads, all the power to them! But if they can't, I'm not very impressed by "trying."
^If Kevin has already done skates where he executed 5 quads, Kovtun wouldn't be the first then.
2 SP quads weren't even allowed in Goebel's day. They'd only started allowing quads in the SP at all in 1998-ish.
I don't think Javi and Hanyu will attempt 2 quads in the SP just yet, especially with Hanyu never having done a 4-3 combo.

We don't know Javier's complete layout yet but I could see him putting in 2 quads. And Yuzuru had a 4-3 combo at 16 in his short program. Though he never actually landed it clean in competition he did land it cleanly in a few ice shows in 2012.
According to his bio on wiki he has:Reynolds hasn't executed 5 quads in one competition, though he has executed 2 clean quads in the SP and 3 clean quads in the LP in separate competitions..
He is the first and currently the only skater to have landed five quadruple jumps in one competition — at the 2013 Four Continents, he landed two quads in the short program and three in the free skate.
I'm very surprised Javier is only attempting one quad in his SP, especially when he's landed a consistent 4S-3T a couple times. I mean, it makes sense with Hanyu, who has yet to get a consistent 4S, but Fernandez has done both quad toe and salchow with some reliability.
You haven't seen Javi's new SP yet? He landed both 4T and 4S in his new SP.I would think so, except he doesn't try two quads in his SP (though he should). Under CoP, there's no advantage to simply "winning" the SP, and you actually obtain an advantage in the overall competition if you try two quads instead of one.

I hope so, too. If SP last season with THAT outfit can get 96 points, then his new SP this season with 2 quads (and a very handsome outfit can get a new world record. I hope he will get lots of support at home. go Javi!I hope he wins GPF at home:yes:

It was at the ice shows in Japan and the reporters said his layout for SP will have 2 quads, one quad in combo, so maybe 4S, 3A and 3A 4T. There is not yet a video with full layout and Javi said they are still building the program so the clip might not be the final version.Could you post a link please? I've seen the program (and love it!), just not with the quads in it.
Does this mean that he can land a 4F/Lz??But I am certain he will do 2 quads in the SP. Yuzuru also said that Javi now can jump 4 different quads already.
Maybe the 4loop and the 4luzt. It's Yuzuru who is his training mate said so. Yuzuru can also do the 4loop now, maybe he was learning it from Javi.Does this mean that he can land a 4F/Lz??
