Aw, they're so cute!

I think in the past quad (lol wordplay!), the ISU has done better in overcorrecting with Chanflation and now just looking for not just reputation in consistent jumps/programs but also overall skating skills. I like how they pointed out that Javi has three quads but it doesn't mean he's going to win...it's more than just a jumping contest, but you really do need it to be competitive.

Speaking of Javi and Hanyu, I'm so sad that BOrser has to pull back-to-back coaching duty for the SP. I know for the skaters it comes with the territory of sharing coaches but it still would be nice to be with your coach
