Midori is triple axel queen with such an amazing height. At the same time I love Mao's, it looks like she makes it very easily... Jumps are high lights of figure skating and all the time it makes me wow.
I have never skated in my life so I'm purely a spectator but in this vid, I think Midori has the most beautiful jumps. She's got height, speed and a strong landing. Tonya seems to tilt the other way and some of the other landings I saw were wobbly. Midori's jumps look perfect to me.
peter50358 I don't care much for Tonya anyway because she set herself at a bad example for other figure skaters. Midori Ito is the only mature young lady. And Kimmie is a better skater than that overrated jumping bean Tonya. Why? Kimmie sets herself as a star athlete who can prove to the world that she is capable enough to be the best American figure skater. If Tonya didn't create a scenario against her competitor, Nancy Kerrigan, Nancy wouldn't become a victim.
What's so bothering about it anyways? If they didn't take off on the side of the blade, it would've been pretty hard to get enough rotations to land the jump... just saying.
@SkateboarderChick27 Acually, you're suppose to take off by skidding. I myself am practicing triple axel, and I was told by many coaches that we are suppose to be skidding. Many men and women skid, and a handful could even get the jump on full edge. The only way a triple axel is cheated is if it was underrotated on the landing. Skidding is encouraged by many coaches and skaters, since full edge can potentially make the jump off balance and not easy to land.
Tonya Harding had the best Triple Axel ever! She had such great height, control, and speed. Almost making them look effortless. Today they just look too quick and really make the axel cheated. Tonya Harding will always be the queen of the triple axel jump!!!
I am not a expert in figure skating much less a technical judge, but I do think Midori's 3A's were much more enjoyable in the sense that they seem physically impossible for a woman that small to have such power and physical strength to be able to do that
@adiaz1984 To see Midori jump in person! Her hight and speed and and and. I've spent many hours on the ice with different people but Midori excited me the most with her raw power!
Midori Ito is the only lady who has ever landed the triple Axel-triple toe-loop combination....albeit it was during a practice session during the 1992 Winter Olympic Games in Albertville...but Tiffany Chin landing it in practice way back in 1983, one can only imagine what might have been had it not had been her overly demanding Mother...
Don't let uneducated people mislead you guys. All of midori's jumps had great height, speed, and flow. She is simply the best technical skater in womens history. Tonya had a very good triple axle as well that is better than anyone else's 3axle besides midori. I give Mao great credit for successfully doing a 3axle on multiple occasions. She has very good technique for how she does them but they do pale in comparison to Midori or Tonya's 3axle.
@cleicsioluek Yep. A lot of english-speaking persons write it axle bexause of the way Axel is pronounced in english. When you hear it from a german, a french or spanish person, you understand why they never, ever, write it axle. Try it : Axe-ell (like hell, but without the "h").
Axe-El.
That's the way they pronounce it in Norway.
Now, knowing how it has to be pronounced, you understand why "axle" is aberrant.
@soul416 I don't think there's anything special about tonya's triple axels. But Midori Ito was the finest jumper of her time. She was so ahead of her time and she was a beautiful jumper. Back then, so few skaters could land a triple axel as beautifully as she did, let alone use it in a triple triple combo as she did in one of the clips.
@ImmaculateRecovery I agree. I don't see what the big deal is with Tonya's and Midori's 3axels. Both of them lean too much in the jumps, they aren't as high as people perceive them to be, and they have pretty shaky landings in them.
@soul416 Well you are clearly an idiot, because midori 3A is 100% the best female 3A of all time..... I do agree that tonya hardings 3A doesnt have the best technique, however for a women to be able to do this, it is remarkable
@soul416 Actually, yes they are. I've never seen or skated with Tonya, but I can say with personal experience that Midori's jumps were high and landings very solid. Scary high actually. I still can't figure out how she jumped so high!
Makes you wonder why more ladies don't do the triple axel. Only 6 in history have landed them and after Midori Ito and Tonya Harding 10 years went by before another lady landed one. Right now only Mao Asada ever tries them. You would think the girls today are much more athletic then 20 years ago but i guess that shows you how far ahead of the times Harding and Ito especially were.
@soul416 they aren't high enough? You've got to be kidding me! Midori's jumps SOARED! So much better than the 1/2 inch off the ice quick rotationed TAs of most of the others.
Tonya Harding and Midori Ito are still the only female skaters to do impressive Triple Axels. Female skaters today have ZERO power in them and are totally uninteresting to watch. Sorry, but it's true!
@NorthEast81 You are so right. Midori and Tonya could jump as well as any of the men. I really hate the spindly little cheated 3 axels we see from the women today. Although Elizaveta Tuktamysheva does a decent one. Let's face it, women's skating has not really advanced technically since the early 90's. What jumps does Yu Na Kim do that Kristi Yamaguchi didn't do? Come to think of it, what jumps does she do that Liz Manley and Denise Bielmann didn't do in the 80's?
The thing I liked most about Tonya's is that there was a since of reckless abandon and power about her 3axel. You never quite knew what was going to happen. Usually she was tilted in the air but somehow pulled it off. Exciting!
Hello, I'm planning to make a video on jumps. Now, I'm picking out jumps that are "special", e.g., "best triple loop", "weirdest double axel", "fastest rotation by my not-so-healthy eye", etc.
If you would like to participate, you can send me a message with the clip of the program, the year, the music, and the skater's last name. I'll reply what I have so far. I accept only women skaters, sorry. :(. Although I also like men's figure skating!
The dresses back in the 90s weren't beautiful and just maked the skaters look fat!
But I must give them, they jumped well. Not beautiful but well. Harding's axel... yeah she nailed it but was it beautiful... No! She was just a jumping machine!!!
amen to that....no man or woman, can do an axel like Midori Ito, even till now!!!! no freaking skater has the power and pretty leg position in the air...she looks almost unreal.......amazing japanese Queen of Triples,,, all triples...when you really think about it....Bow down to Midori!!! XXX
There is something superhuman about Midori's triple Axels. Harding's were comparable and hers was a spectacular talent sadly gone wrong. I envy the rest of the ladies, who can obviously get up in the air and do the damn thing, but compared to Midori and Tonya's, theirs is a case of "3A, lite"
Tonya Harding was the first woman to ever do a triple axel in the short program, the first woman to do two triple axels in a single competition, and the first individual to do a triple axel combination in the competition.
All of Mao Asada's 3A jump, without any exception, are ch******. Moreover she cannot perform other tripple jumps even. That is not just a mistake. She is not able to perform jumps cleanly because of her bad postures with wrong edge jump. If correctly judged, she could have been removed from the top 5 figure skaters at Vancouver Olympics. She doesn't deserve any podium.
Mao Asada has clearly the the cleanest and most solid 3A, not to mention her height and lightness is just incredible, and to be able to do a 3Aat such a joung age ( actually the joungest skater ever) is just unbelievable she makes it look soo easy. but that is probably also why she is called the tripple axel queen!! and is the skater in the world who have landed the most 3A's in competition...
@dsfddsgh mao's 3A may not cover the same amount of ice as ito's, but that is unnecessary when she has greatest height. skaters usuelly either cover alot of ice or have great height, mao just belongs to the skaters who have great height, that doesn't make hers any less better!! and if you look closely mao's 3A is smooth, solid, light but still powerful. she just has great control of her jumps, which is the reason why she is the only female skater who performs a 3A on daily basis and succeed's.
asians are dominating the figure skating rink all around the world! midori ito, kim yuna, mao asada, next will be the first mail dominator, John Michael Eduria, LMFAO!
Ito's 3A is by far the best, yes, but I think Tonya's and Mao's are both beautiful in their own ways. Tonya's forceful power is amazing, and Mao's whimsical buttery-soft 3A is also very nice. As for Kimmie--GOOD FOR HER for trying. I wish her all the best.
Midori Ito is incredible; she defies gravity and doesn't know when to come down. Tonya Harding's jumps are so powerful that it makes shake my head at the sad waste of an amazing skater.
Tonya Harding is tilted in the air almost every time and the landing is freaky and wild. She looks like she could land on her back if she tilts anymore. but she is so high in the air Midori wrapped her leg because she had so much height if she had a more closed position she would do an extra half rotation before she hit the ground. Tiffany Chin's was a revelation. The others are just passable.
Personally, I don't think anyone ever pulled the triple off better than Midori Ito and Tonya Harding did. Their speed and strength was perfect and they had incredible jumps and they landed them cleanly.
(I can't say I ever liked Kimmy Meissner: She can barely get off the ground and cheats her landings.)
Anyway, that's just my opinion. Thanks very much for a great set of clips :)
When these great figure skaters do triple axel, they jump up facing forward and land in the opposite direction, and it doesn't look like there's any prerotation. Just totally different from the so called triple axel that Asada Mao performs.
@mojamonsteress. Funny you mentioned 'count the rotations', because if you do that, it's not even an triple jump. In the true technical sense, What Mao Asada does is 2.8 jumps at best, and yes look like triple axel as it is aesthetically pleasing for sure. In the name of Midori Ito and Tonya Harding, do not even try to sugar coat mao asada's cheating jumps
Tonya Harding could have been great. She may have even been better than Nancy Kerrigan. But she ruined it with that whole fiasco. She didn't need to do that.
Congratulations for putting together a terrific video. The triple axel is the ultimate jump and it takes a tough skater to execute it properly. I also loved your choice of music for this. Ronnie was a tough and strong role model and singer in her day. My personal favorite is Tanya if only because she was the first and showed that a woman could do this jump in competition.
Midori is triple axel queen with such an amazing height. At the same time I love Mao's, it looks like she makes it very easily... Jumps are high lights of figure skating and all the time it makes me wow.

Although the video isn't very clear I think the best 3A belongs to Tiffany Chin.
Looks very pretty in the air. High, rotation is very easy and is landed very clean with room to spare. Too bad she never landed it in competition.
I have never been a fan of Midori's wrapped leg in the air. I'm glad that the Japanese seem to have stopped teaching this jump technique.
Tonya is by far the highest but she's sloppy in the air and is often out of control on the landing.

I like the aggressive attack Midori Ito and Tonya Harding put into their Axle. Mao has a more gentle approach to the jump (which i like too).

Tonya Harding was the first woman to ever do a triple axel in the short program, the first woman to do two triple axels in a single competition, and the first individual to do a triple axel combination in the competition.

All of Mao Asada's 3A jump, without any exception, are ch******. Moreover she cannot perform other tripple jumps even. That is not just a mistake. She is not able to perform jumps cleanly because of her bad postures with wrong edge jump. If correctly judged, she could have been removed from the top 5 figure skaters at Vancouver Olympics. She doesn't deserve any podium.

Mao Asada has clearly the the cleanest and most solid 3A, not to mention her height and lightness is just incredible, and to be able to do a 3Aat such a joung age ( actually the joungest skater ever) is just unbelievable she makes it look soo easy. but that is probably also why she is called the tripple axel queen!! and is the skater in the world who have landed the most 3A's in competition...

@wsfggf Sorry But Midori Ito's triple axels were huge compared to Mao's tiny ones. And hers doesn't cover near the amount of ice as It's did.
dsfddsgh 1 year ago
@dsfddsgh mao's 3A may not cover the same amount of ice as ito's, but that is unnecessary when she has greatest height. skaters usuelly either cover alot of ice or have great height, mao just belongs to the skaters who have great height, that doesn't make hers any less better!! and if you look closely mao's 3A is smooth, solid, light but still powerful. she just has great control of her jumps, which is the reason why she is the only female skater who performs a 3A on daily basis and succeed's.

@wsfggf Ito's height on her triple axels were far superior to Mao's also.

Ito's 3A is by far the best, yes, but I think Tonya's and Mao's are both beautiful in their own ways. Tonya's forceful power is amazing, and Mao's whimsical buttery-soft 3A is also very nice. As for Kimmie--GOOD FOR HER for trying. I wish her all the best.

Midori's 3A is still unbeatable.
Height, amplitude, impeccable axis of the rotation, great flow after landing, and smile.

Midori Ito is incredible; she defies gravity and doesn't know when to come down. Tonya Harding's jumps are so powerful that it makes shake my head at the sad waste of an amazing skater.
swrdgrl 1 year ago 3
Tonya Harding is tilted in the air almost every time and the landing is freaky and wild. She looks like she could land on her back if she tilts anymore. but she is so high in the air Midori wrapped her leg because she had so much height if she had a more closed position she would do an extra half rotation before she hit the ground. Tiffany Chin's was a revelation. The others are just passable.

Thanks for sharing this :)
Personally, I don't think anyone ever pulled the triple off better than Midori Ito and Tonya Harding did. Their speed and strength was perfect and they had incredible jumps and they landed them cleanly.
(I can't say I ever liked Kimmy Meissner: She can barely get off the ground and cheats her landings.)
Anyway, that's just my opinion. Thanks very much for a great set of clips :)

When these great figure skaters do triple axel, they jump up facing forward and land in the opposite direction, and it doesn't look like there's any prerotation. Just totally different from the so called triple axel that Asada Mao performs.

i think mao asada has the most aesthetically pleasing 3A jump
and it is a PROPER 3A jump,
count the rotations...

@mojamonsteress. Funny you mentioned 'count the rotations', because if you do that, it's not even an triple jump. In the true technical sense, What Mao Asada does is 2.8 jumps at best, and yes look like triple axel as it is aesthetically pleasing for sure. In the name of Midori Ito and Tonya Harding, do not even try to sugar coat mao asada's cheating jumps

Tonya Harding could have been great. She may have even been better than Nancy Kerrigan. But she ruined it with that whole fiasco. She didn't need to do that.

Congratulations for putting together a terrific video. The triple axel is the ultimate jump and it takes a tough skater to execute it properly. I also loved your choice of music for this. Ronnie was a tough and strong role model and singer in her day. My personal favorite is Tanya if only because she was the first and showed that a woman could do this jump in competition.
