Yes, that's why I think they are the perfect people to advocate limiting numbers of quad execution in a program. I really don't get why Patrick has to be so honest about how he feels in interviews! which almost always have led him into unnecessary troubles. I wish Patrick hires a PR agency for him.
That's the thing, I think? They are against limiting numbers of quads and highly celebrate the technical progression, hence it will be very unlikely that you would hear those 3 ever advocate it. So someone who is actually against it has to speak out.
Is there actually veteran skaters that is retired who are highly against many quads? Even johnny weir who didn't do quads not really hinting/implying that it should be limited, from what I know. What did Yagudin think of it? Or urmanov or kulik or petrenko or boitano or goebel for example?
