If we were worried about Averbukh's show.. be worried no more. https://twitter.com/MedvedevaNation/status/1184476781400776704

"On December 27, “The Wizard of Oz” show will premiere in Moscow. I want to emphasize - this doesn't mean that Zhenya will skip her season. From December 27, there will be a replacement, a younger girl. In December 30, Zhenya will joins us."

Interesting.
Has this jump coach ever taught the quad to a lady or any girl he has trained that we know of?

Alysa Liu has attended summer training sessions at TCC and Geoff posted a photo with her on IG. Whether he trains the quad with her, who knows? A very tiny percentage of ladies attempt it.
And in my view, a quad is a quad is a quad and if you can teach Yuzu and Javi, two very different skaters, there is no reason you can’t teach a lady.

And back to Zhenya, although I have every wish that she be competitive and that she attain her goals, she doesn’t need jumps to command your attention on the ice.

Thank you for that info. I did not know that.

Dont call me sexist but I think mainly due to physical differences learning the quad is harder for women than men. If Zhenya can pull this off she will be able to contend for the forseeable future.

Not sexist at all, it's the truth. But considering that there're so few ladies doing quads, I think we'll have to do with jumping coaches that at least have succesfully taught quads to men. But hey, he also already worked with 25% of women who landed quads in competition!

Shame on me!

I may be wrong, but doesnt Serafima also have one? or did I misheard that somewhere.

Regardless, he has worked with both Yuzu and Javi, who definitely do not jump the same. Also, Yuzu has the best jumps, so it is safe to say he is good enough for Женя!

Sima has tried it but afaik she hasn't landed it yet. There was an attempt at Dennis Ten Memorial practices but she fell.

So wait, to be clear, just 6 girls landed a quad: Alysa, Sasha, Anna, Kamila, Lilbet, Miki. Whom did I forget? Geoff worked with two of them, which is 33%, right?

Surya Bonaly attempted several, and in my opinion her quad toe at Worlds 1991 should have been ratified as it would have with the rules used today;

Sasha Cohen landed a clean quad sal on practice, but never in competition;

And I think that's it, they both were ahead of their time.

It´s interesting for Zhenya fans since she wants to jump the quad sal

This clarification is important in the sense that Zhenya is in good hands with a trainer who worked with girls quads , and Zhenya has great shans in landing on quad. I belive in her.

If he teaches Zhenya quads then it's 50% right?

The GP assignments do make me kind of sad. Evgenia really got a difficult path. If anyone else had to go against Sasha (twice) and Rika too, their highest possible placements would likely be 3+2 as well. If Zhenya got different assignments, it would be more likely she could get 2+2 or win an assignment. At least she will get huge scores on home ice, which will help if it comes down to tie breakers.

Well, missing GPF is better than going and coming in 5th or 6th right? Zhenya will always be golden in my eyes whatever happens though. I love that this is going to be her 5th senior season. We Stan a long career!

Alexandra Stepanova about Zhenya:
"Zhenya changed her whole life for FS. She has gone through many things and continues to fight. That's why we look at their skating without taking our eyes off. And if something doesn't go well on the ice, everything breaks inside us."
