Sasha and the quad...

[turtlehead]

Is Sasha still doing the quad? And didn't she say that she was planning on landing one during the Grand Prix? And does anybody think she will plan it for worlds or maybe the next Olympics? I have never seen the clip of her landing it that time during, was it, practice...and I would love for Sasha to land it in competition.

She said that she WAS going to practice it more after GP's, but that was before the past few events and the coaching change. I think she'll concentrate on her program as is...with maybe a 3/3 and tiny changes? Just my 2 cents.

Sasha has landed a quad salchow numeorus times in practice both in California under John Nicks and in CT with Tarasova...the clip you are referring to was in a practice session for a GP comp in 2001 probably, where Sasha tried, but popped, the quad salchow in competiton. ABC got film of her landing it in a practise session.

go to sashafans.com to see a clip of Sasha landing a quad.
