Good on him!

First the quad axel, now quintuple jumps, and maybe a quint axel?

Yeah right, he's selling on the level of PT Barnum right now. If his ankle is only 20-30% better, he's got nothing left for the long term grind, and he knows it. He's trying to cash in now, get some sponsorship or something extra to let him do little as he 'prepares for the quad axel' or something... and then when he doesn't get it just shrug and retire.

Carbonated soft drinks and (presumably salty) potato chips, followed by a lot of jumping and spinning...

Sounds like a good recipe for something spectacular.

His metabolism is still pretty high right now, but it will lower as he ages and leaves competitive sports
