Evgeni Plushenko - World Championships 2003 Qualifying Round

Carmen, one of the best performances of his career. You see the 4-3-3 (quad-triple-triple) as he intended it at the 2002 Olympics.

Does someone know - I heard that the triple-triple-triple combination is somehow banned by today's ISU rules (I mean you may do it but other jumps will not be counted). Is it true??? And does it apply to quad-triple-triple combo as well??? It would be extremely stupid but knowing ISU rules I would not be surprised at all.

@Euxiphipops77 I have not heard anything about this new rule but I have not read this year's changes. I know you get even more points for a quad though! I don't know why a 4-3-3 or 3-3-3 combo would be forbidden; we gotta keep this sport a sport somehow!

[Euxiphipops77]

@AnyaAngie I just read it when watching Shizuka Arakawa doing her 3-3-3 combo on the training, it was said that this combination is worth more than a quad (which by the way is stupid in my opinion) but it was also added that if she had done it during the competition no other triple jumps would be counted. And it is not something very fresh.

[AnyaAngie]

@Euxiphipops77 Yes, a combo should be worth more than a solo jump. When was this video you saw taken?

@Commentators:

Please criticize his "Russian style" after you have landed a 4-3-3.

Thank you.

what a commentator. can somebody grab a cloth and stick it between his lips. seriously, what a duche.

[TwisterFlipp95]

As a former passionate gymnast, I find that first combination very impressive. :)

@dorca000 The biggest bone I have to pick with the scoring of Patrick is that if he hadn't Zayak'd he would have actually won the competition (if I'm doing my math correctly). Ridiculous...

[pinto89100]

@dorca000 Well if you're talking about the WHOLE competition, then I agree that Pat's PCS scores were again way too high for the free. But as for his ranking, you have to take into consideration that comparing it to the previous grand prix events for the men, it was a very flawed competition. Jeremy had the potential to win this event but he faltered badly. As for the rest of the men below the podium; lots of mistakes and quite of few that just aren't there with their basic skating.

[dorca000]

I disagree. I talk about the whole competition. Chan fell 4 time and he can be second or even Canada fell also 4 time, and he was first. This is ridiculous, this is what i talked. I belive you that Chan is so superb and ect. But he even didn't makes perfect program, and he always carries out the rankings at the beginning. In the old system wasn't such thing. The new system is stupid.

[pinto89100]

@dorca000 Now, I'm a HUGE fan of Abbott, but I think Chan was actually scored correctly. I don't know what was up, but Jeremy was lacking a lot of his usual flow out of his jumps, and while Pat may be a bigmouth there's no denying he's a hell of a good skater. Like Abbott his basics are top notch and that 4-3 was gorgeous. Also, while he may have fallen on the 3A, it was fully rotated. I think it was pretty close, they both share very similar qualities.

And yes, I saw the vid. It was funny. ^_^

[dorca000]

@pinto89100 Wow! Chan fell in Moscow again, on Rostelecom Cup! And he got 81, ...points. Abbott got 77,..., Abbott was the better. Truly, Chan did quad, but he fell in 3A!! Missing the points for 3A, and the deduction -1 point! In the SP!!! Chan leads more than 4 points before Abbott! I don't understand. I saw, that Abbott's transitions was great, and his presentation was great too. I remembered: /watch?v=7UGHeylWv8U

You can watch, when Plushenko fell! LOL! So funny!
