Evan LYSACEK: Quad(s) will determine the winner

[Tinymavy15]

has anybody confirmed what Oda's new program is? During the Youtube clip i heard "Mission Impossible" being played at the rink as he skated... was that is program or another skater's that happened to be on the ice?

another thought... oda's quad is HUGE but he has not really gotten the hang on landing it cleanly, so i REALLY doubt we will see it in Tokyo.

Yes, it's 'Mission impossible'. One poster( i assume he/she's Japanese origin) promised yesterday to upload some clips to youtube. We'll just wait.

Does that include the correct flamenco body movments? While Joubert shoots his 007 gun again?

I meant little to no competition experience this season

He's overplaying the importance of the quad. The winner will be someone who accumulates the most points and not neccesarily the one who lands the most quads. A perfect example is Brian at COR and Takahashi at NHK. If he sacrifices choreography and interpretation to hit these quads, it will only decreases his chances. The judges disagree though as the more quads the skater lands, the higher their PCS magically becomes but they may learn to judge correctly by Worlds.

Well, to someone who doesn't have much else to offer
this might be the truth ...

Those who deny this obvious fact are Canadians.

An Evan article

Looks like Evan is going to attempt quads in both short and long programs

World's his oyster?

Having the quad gives Lysacek a much better chance at contending with them for the world title.

"The quad brings Evan up to the next group of men," Belbin said. "Before, he was beating them when they fell on the quad."

Lysacek wants to put a quad in the short program to "lay down the gauntlet."

"I want to go in and try everything I can, to know I've worked every limit of my capability," Lysacek said. "I worked hard before nationals, and look what happened. I came home and worked hard again and, hopefully, the same thing can happen."

Lysacek got up to leave for an early evening workout at a Hollywood health club. He goes five times a week, alternating weight and cardiovascular exercises. The weights have made his legs stronger, an element in the success of his quad.

"I don't want to leave anything on the table," he said.

Not a jump or a scrap of chicken.

So Brian, Lambiel, Evan are probably going for quad(s) in short program.

Bye, bye Buttle?

I see Hersh quoted not only Tanith but also Evan's "tenant," Sasha, LOL.

""Evan is so neat. Everything is perpendicular," Lysacek's tenant and longtime friend, Olympic silver medalist Sasha Cohen, said from the dining room, where she was cooling down after a jog in the hills by twisting her impossibly flexible body through power yoga exercises.

Cohen lived in Lysacek's guesthouse for about a month while she went to acting "boot camp" nearby. Not only did that save Cohen the lengthy commute from her house in Orange County, it also spared Lysacek's wallet some of what he said is a $6,000 monthly rent on the property he moved into last fall."

Go Evan! (referring to his skating, of course)
