Samarin...? Nic Nadeau? Conrad Orzel? But not sure about anyone. Will be quite few guys who will go for at least one quad.

I heard Jun may add a second 4S in his FS. Hope it works for him.
Go for it, Jun Hwan!

At the Bavarian Open, it seems that Nadeau had planned to do two quads in the LP, but ended up botching both attempts---the quad loop became a triple loop with a fall, and he doubled what should've been a quad toe. I'm not sure if he'll keep this new configuration, or just stick to the previous one.
Now that I think about it, I don't believe Nic has ever landed a clean quad in competition; the two-footed quad loop at Canadians is his best attempt, as far as I know.

Everything's before him then! But I think the title and podium will be between Russians, Canadians, Jun Hwan Cha, Vincent Zhou and defending Champion Daniel Samohin. So many possibiliteis, it's even more exciting than last year! I just hope the Free Program won't be a splatfest like last season...

Whoever earns the highest score will win the gold.
Who is matched with which quads?

Daniel is competing! So is Mark Gorodnitsky. I guess whoever added Mark's name mistakenly removed Daniel's at first.

I am not sure that Sarah keeps up with the Canadian men. Conrad competed at Challenge and barely won the bronze, beating Iliya Kovler by 0.02 points (Iliya beat him in the FS). The Nationals PCS speculation also gives me a giggle because she goes onto to explain some of Conrad's issues.
Also, Roman's biggest issue with the 3A is popping it. It's the jump which he pops most frequently.

Conrad got higher PCS at his last JGP than he did at Nationals where he probably skated better. If he lands his jumps here I don't see his PCS holding him back too much because the international judges don't seem to view them as that weak. I also think he's improved a lot in that area since challenge.
As for Roman, he used to pop a lot of jumps (mainly axel and lutz) but this season he seems to have broken that bad habit and is rotating most of his jumps in competiton. The downside to that is that he's fallen a lot, but under IJS falling is less costly than popping so it's still an improvement IMO.
Also I think Graham Newberry has a 4s that he might try here.

Link to planned program layouts have been uploaded to ISU's WJC site (PPC checklist)
http://www.isu.org/en/single-and-pa...017/03/world-junior-figure-skating-champs-tpe
I noticed that Samohin, Petrov and Samarin all don't show this season's Junior required Loop jump planned for their SPs. I'm wondering if this is their Senior competition layouts and just an oversight.
ETA: But Samohin and Samarin both had Quads planned in their Senior competition SPs, right? Are the rules just "relaxed" for WJC?
:think:
Oops~ Posted in a rush and hadn't noticed that sheetz had already linked the PPC checklist. Sorry~
