It was reported that he got his quad back, and his 3A is more consistant than ever.
He never really *had* his quad (at least in competition) except for standing up on it twice in 2003 (4cc where he did a kick *** quad/triple and worlds where he put his hands down). He hasn't confirmed that he'll be doing it at Worlds, though he wants to, he says he's practicing very hard on it but will decide (with Raphael and Lee) closer to Moscow whether it will be included. Personally, I dont think he needs it to make top 5. If he skates cleanly he can do it, and the quad can affect his skating (whether he falls or lands it). But to medal he'll need a quad in the LP and 3 clean skates (QR, SP, LP)
