A vintage Olympics - better than 2006 and 2010 and why? Because this was the last Olympics where we had the old 6.0 scoring system. The new system inhibits skaters and makes them play safe. Bring back 6.0.
2002, Top three (SP and FS), 10 quads planned, 9 were landed.
2006, Top three (SP and FS), 6 quads planned, 4 were landed. Reasonable.
2010, Top three (SP and FS), 3 quads planned, 2 were landed. Shocking!!!
The fact that only 3 quads were planned was itself shocking already. There should never be a reason for that to happen. But the gold medalist (Evan Lysacek) had a reason; the idea of training for quads is scary, because he broke his foot before. LOL!!!!!
Alexei looks so confident, it's hard to believe how nervous he was.
