Whose quad do you like the best?

[Bennett]

My votes went to Verner's and Ponsero's. Very easy and clean. Exciting to watch.

 

[NatachaHatawa]

Ponsero. Simply huge!

 

[Tonichelle]

Browning's!

 

[ManyCairns]

And the curmudgeon says: NO ONE's! Hate the quad! Ugly jump!


Ok, well, maybe the Quad King's were fun to watch. But none since!

 

[seniorita]

who is quad kings?

 

[Tonichelle]

Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko, and Timothy Goebel all held the title at one point

pretty sure Plushenko and Joubert are also in that list.

^I was refering to Goebel.

 

[Tonichelle]

^ I didn't want to assume

Is "Stephen" supposed to be Stephane Lambiel because I've never seen Stephen Carriere attempt a quad in competition. Lambiel was capable of a beauty when he was on.

My favorite quads belong to Lambiel, Ponsero, and Abbott. All 3 when they are on make the quad toe look as easy and beautiful as a triple. So many of the other options in the poll muscle the quad too much, IMO, making it look labored.

Sorry for the error. I always confuse the spelling between those two guys.

I also should have included Abbott, Bradley, Alban, another Kevin, and Voronov on the list.

Ryan Bradley. His 4t3t at Liberty in the SP was great!

We count the rotations only or the ability to actual land it? cause we are talking about quads and plushy is not on the list???

Sorry he has been away for a long time that I failed to put him there.

Brian Joubert.
His quad was magical in the last years. I hope he will find his old strengh

 

[antmanb]

My personal preference on quads was Emanuel Sandhu. His quad was absolutely beautiful when he landed it and unlike Yagudin or Pluschenko - he never broke at the waist and tipped forward on the landing.

I love Brian's jumps, but it's pretty rare that his quads are particuly huge and lately he's been strugling to do them and it shows ( a part from the quad in his SP at the COR which was beautifully done).
The same goes to Kevin: he's got great jumps, but his quads aren't all that big. He's more of a combo guy than a quad guy.

Is Kevin in this poll meant to be KvDP or Kevin Reynolds?

Either way. I have found many errors in this poll. My apologies.

I'm actually not sure I'd say Kurt's quads were the best looking as an eligible... but it's fun to see the one he landed 10 years later in the Canadian Stars on Ice tour, at the age of 31 =)

I LOVE the look he gives after he landed it... "eat that, sucka!"
