@nondescriptnyc - Good morning. I don't compete, however, my rink's coaches have & they tell me the difficulty of a 1A/3S lies in the fact that they are both "edge" jumps. It's easier (as "easy" as triple jumps can be) when the toe pick can be planted for stability. Also, it's very hard to shift weight w/ enough momentum for a triple Salchow from the Axel landing position for another edge jump. Jill just makes it look easy, (like Brian B's Lutz arm position), so I'm told. Best Wishes.

@mjcamck71 Are you talking about the one-foot Axel into a 3S? That won't really score very much under the current rule, since it's a single-triple combo. Incidentally, that combination (if not w/ a 3S, w/ a 2S) was done more frequently in the 1970s and the early 1980s. Brian Pocker even did a different version in 1981 in his SP, if I recall correctly--a one-foot 3S into a 2F!

ISN'T IT PAST TIME TO PUT THE TRENARY TRIPLE INTO THE US FIGURE SKATING HALL OF FAME? Almost no one else even attempts this move and NO ONE HAS EVER DONE THIS DIFFICULT COMBINATION LIKE JILL TRENARY.

Does anyone have Jill's short program @ 87 Nationals? Or 88 Nationals short? I agree about the 1 foot axel /triple salchow combo. Have seen others try it and never saw anyone else succeed.

Jill did that one-foot axel into a triple salchow so very well; I've seen others (Bobek, Harding) do it without the same success; their slip-ups make you realize just what a hard combination it actually is. Jill makes it look so easy. She herself only flubbed it very rarely. Here the combination is a textbook example of how it's done.

You could see the FOCUS - she went back to her "game face" after the 3flip success. Very musical in this program which helped. A bit more aggressive than usual - which never hurts.

Those were the days... hard to believe 22 years have passed!
THE best one-foot axel into triple salchow. Her trademark!
