Evegeni Pushenko, Alexander Abt and Chengjiang Li (2002 Salt Lake) had the cleanest quads. The others were amazing however! Sigh...I'm only on DOUBLE salchow... :P
@AwesomeAlvin Yes I agree. There was definitely over marking of North American skaters - Jeremy Abbott had a nightmare skate but they marked him above people like Javier Fernandez, Artem Borudulin, Michal Brezina and Adrian Shultheiss who all were so much better. The only North American they marked down was Johnny Weir (homophobia?).
Yes Chan did not have a good skate at Olympics and was over marked. No way was he better than Weir. However, in World's 2011 Chan was in a class of his own.
@npe1 Yea I agree as well. Well we all know that Plushenko is the King, and Lysacek would just live on as the man who ruined figure skating.
And dispite being Canadian, and from Chinese origin. I do have to say Chan was way over judged, something was going on to try to bump up the Canadian and Americans.
@AwesomeAlvin I've read it and yes it does make very interesting reading. I think I agree mostly with Tatiana Tarasova's comments about them burying Plushenko in the short programme. He should have had at least a 3 or 4 points lead after the short, which would have been enough for him to win overall. I also agree that Johnny Weir was under marked.

Strange isn't it. More quads attempted in 2002 and 2006 than in 2010. Progress?
