He has another option. Since his 3Lz scored more points than his UR 4Lz it might make sense to simply ditch the quads entirely. It certainly appears that the risk/reward ratio for quads has so dramatically shifted that even skaters who can consistently do them might score higher by doing only triples.I actually enjoyed both of Vincent’s programs. It’s too bad about the < calls, but the way I look at it, he has two choices:
- if his jumps are really fully rotated and the TP was in error, he should tweak the placement of his jumps in the program - and refine it during the official practice - so that they can clearly see this.
- if his jumps are actually < due to competition nerves or something else, he can work on fixing the problem.
