This is list is absurd. I'm not a massive Hanyu fan but his quads are clearly the best. Most difficult entries, perfect air position and gorgeous landings - absolutely effortless.

This list isn’t absurd. With most of the skaters you’re looking at quads from the 80s and 90s. I don’t see why you would even try to compare. The original quads were done with the old take off, which also allowed for great height and ice coverage. Hanyu likely does do the prettiest quad today, as unlike most of his competitors, he also gets nice air time and ice coverage. Most today go straight up and rotate in place, landing almost where they took off, which is ugly.

Yuzuru' jumps are so soft and beautiful, they look effortless despite being so difficult (especially the transitions into them) I don't get why he's not first on this list.

Yuzuru's technique and transition from choreography into jumps is the greatest.

Hanyu's quads in his Sochi short program are perfection haha

Hanyu in 5th? When he's on, no one can touch him. The fluidity in his landings is unmatched.

Yuzuru should be number one. His landings are so smooth, it looks effortless...

Yuzu's jumps, with everything entrance and landing, are so beautiful and elegant. He is not stiff but so soft as if he flies

Are you really putting Yuzuru in 5th?! He can do 4toe, 4sal, 4lo, and he's training for a 4ax. Those guys who are above him on you "list" mostly did only 4toe, like really?! And Patrick Chan on second​ place?! This got to be biased.

Javi is definitely not just an honorable mention but fine xD

Yuzuru is better than some listed higher in the ranking and i think Javier's quads r better than some of them in top 5 too.

Yuzuru #1 plain and simple while I'd say Goebel would be a distant second. Yuzuru makes it look so simple and he is super elegant and gorgeous. His choreography and artistry is on par. While Goebel was a good jumper, his artistry sucked and Plushenko's landings were heavy and they looked sloppy.

Yuzuru is Number 1 for sure

Yuzuru Hanyu es y será siempre el número 1

honestly it's a little ionic to put Patrick ahead of Yuzuru on this list. I like Patrick's skating, but after all, he was the one to said men didn't need a quad in skating lol

I also feel like yuzuru should be first.

Nobody can jump and land a quad with the lightness, beauty and elegance as Yuzuru Hanyu does, period. Your “ranking”, if it is, is a insipide joke !

Hahaha Yuzu number five? The person who made this must be like a salty Patrick Chan fan or something lol

Plush and Yuzu should be 1 and 2, I'm fine with either order. But I'd have Yuzu first since he has performed 3 types in competition and Plushenko only did the toe, though it was pretty frickin' glorious. That 4/3/2 was everything!!

I've been watching skating since 2001 so I know a few things. The sal was not Plushenko's best jump at all. Heck, he doubled a planned TRIPLE in Torino. Apparently he only did the quad sal a couple of times. It was so infrequent I actually forgot about it. Plushenko's 4/3/2 is what made me pay attention to skating and he was my favorite guy at the time.

The amount of Plushenko's surgeries has nothing to do with the sal not being a good jump for him. And you can look up my account on FSU and see how old my account from there is to see I have indeed been a skating fan for a long long time. What reason would I have to lie about that? Next you'll say I wasn't in Helsinki even though I uploaded dozens of videos. Yes, Yuzuru Hanyu is the best figure skater I've ever seen because he can balance artistry with the best jumps I've ever seen. I am so lucky I got to see him skate live and break his world record again. I'll never forget it.

Yuzuru should be number 1.

This list is full of figure skating legends. The order isn't important.

Yuzuru N1 ;)

Yuzuru should be no 1. Technically transition in and out his superb!

CHECK OUT YUZURU HANYU IN THE 2017 LONG PROGRAMME HE'S THE BEST THATS EVER BEEN

Yuzu should be No1

I have to say that Yuzu is the best among all of them, his quads are beautiful and it looks exactly easy and elegant, he also landed his quads like it's just a simple part of his performance, not struggling m. I didn't know about other athletes, I respect them all but looking at their quads, they're not "smooth" like Yuzu did.

yuzu is the best

Hanyu has the most fluid quads! #1 actually!

Guys keep in mind this was done in 2014, now everyone knows that Hanyu's quads are the best out of the men in the video.

How can hanyu only no. 5 who broke all the records in history of figure skating? This uploader is patrick chan fan.

A mí me pareció que el segundo quad de Yuzuru Hanyu fue el mejor de todos los quads que aparecieron en esta lista :/ la posición y los giros se vieron tan suaves y realmente Hanyu lo hizo verse tan fácil y elegante, perdón pero eso es lo que ví.

How we rate skaters can be subjective, but it's interesting to see quads by top skaters side by side. There are indeed different styles - how they prepare the jump, how the jumps are weaved into the choreography, how the landing knee is used, how rigid or relaxed the upper body looks before and after the jump, arm placement, the distance the jump travels, the flow of the jump trajectory, the height of the jump, etc.

Yuzuru can jump 4lz 4loop 4toeloop 4salchow 4flip 4 ax(about 4 ax... I saw in some video that he landed perfektly in 4ax and I watched it in slow mode and It was perfektly 4 and half rounds in her jump...) . So yeah yuzuru have to be 1. LOVE U YUZURU, ALWAYS WITH YOU, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPEND!!!!!!

Yuzuru Hanyu is no. 1 figure skater. He should be I repeat he should be at 1 St place

I personally believe King of the Quad should go to someone who did/does Multiple different kinds of quad like Goebel or Yuzuru or Chan

Other than the "placement" in this top five quad "skaters" totally debatable, I have always found it interesting that Plushenko's quads had the axis progressively more tilted backward (with respect to the blades, not the skating direction) in the later revolutions but Plush somehow made them work and landed them clean, in the same way Tonya Harding's successful 3A attempts had progressively tilted axis but somehow balanced upon landing.

It is what happens when the skater is taught a proper, good basic technique when they are younger. Plushenko was given the Mishin technique and could probably do a quad toe in his sleep.

The others had beauty, determination, and power to get it on the score card and ratified, Hanyu made it aesthetically beautiful choreography-wise.

what??? yuzuru hanyu number 5???????? WTF

Javier Fernandez tiene los mejores quadruples salchows

Yuzuru should be number 1!!! Everybody knows that..

Hanyu only the fifth? He must definitely be higher!

Yagudin is the absolute perfection. No one is close to him

Javier Fernandez honorable mention? Really? Ilya Kulik an honorable mention when he only did 2 Quads in his entire short career?

Not saying I can do better, but there could definitely have been somebody else in his slot.

That is supposed to be straight for the smallest axis in the rotational position. I agree he is great but if you compare Yagudin's air position to Kulik or Plushenko it leaves quite a bit to be desired. Are you a skater, a coach with considerable technical expertise or just a Yagudin fanboy?

@walover165

Kulik was one of the greatest pure technicians of all time. Additionally, he competed in an era where quads were NOT the norm and very rare. When he retired, quads were only just starting to become more common (thanks largely to the rivalry between his younger compatriots). Kulik landing "only" two clean quads is not something to insult him for, it's something to praise him for because he did it in a time when a quad was beyond difficult. And he was and always will be the first ever Olympic Champion to win his title with one. After him, every Olympic Champion would do so until Lysacek.

You know who should be first? Yuri on ice ::::)

I have a big amount of respect for each of the skaters here but I have to say that hanyu deserves number 1. If you look at his landings and then look at others, his landings are the smoothest among everyone. Also the prettiest but that is my opinion.

Add Nathan Chen to this list right under yuzuru

Subjective! Where are you from?

I hate comparing people over a period of time. The early skaters revolutionized skating and didn’t have the current training and modern conditioning

Everyone here be talking about Yuzu but what about Nathan Chen?

Unfortunately most of them only did toe jump and salchou in this video which are relatively easy ones. I have to mention that boyang Jin China and Yuma Shono japan always start their show with a quad loop, which I think is more difficult skill. Even personally I like Yuzuru so much however he also used to starting his SP with the easiest quad toe. Technically boyang jin is the best on this planet.

Timothy seems really huge compare to other skaters on the list, more like football player or sth... anyway, Yuzuru should rank higher for his smoother landing but again, almost everyone on this list is from like previous era so I’m not sure whether it’s comparable.

Is the order random? Because if it is, fine. But if it isn't, you have just done the four who aren't Hanyu a great disservice, my friend. It's like looking at the human evolution chart the other way around. The difference is plain as day to even those who don't know fs. Might as well not have put Hanyu in there at all if you want a closer comparison for the other four. Removing Hanyu from the equation altogether, and not factoring in anybody else who aren't in the top 4 listed here, I'd give Chan the top spot if we're going by order of jump quality and not type and difficulty of jump, because his blends into the choreography the nicest out of the 4, and therefore, the most evolved. Note: This was uploaded 2 years ago, before there were 4Los in play. Probably before Hanyu was breaking records and fs in general with Chopin and SEIMEI. Which probably explains the lack of mention of Jin and his jaw-dropping 4Lz. Some here don't seem to realize this...
