I was discussing with a friend the other day how the quad was so essential in the men's field now, and with some ladies being much more capable of tacking on 3T to their combos out of nowhere and 3T-3T's being the 3-3 of choice, you'd think more quad toes are being trained. And several women are very consistent and getting enough height and speed on their 3S to tack on triples, so perhaps 4S isn't out of the question. I get that it's a huge ask and there's immense risk, particularly for ladies... and of course, the CoP doesn't reward it nearly enough (i.e. it wasn't a significant risk for Miki to perform it pre-CoP), so the incentive isn't there. I think Sasha backed off for that reason, even though she's landed in practice.
But I was wondering if anyone knew of any female skaters training quads. Just like Midori/Tonya with the 3A, I'm hoping we won't have to wait another decade for the quad to be brought to competition, that's all.
