Oh man, what a video!!!!! Thanks! I absolutely adore 05.15 and 15.16, when Michelle's three most critical moves coincide with the three most critical beats of the song! What perfection!! :-) Did you time it? If not it was a VERY lucky coincidence!
Aaaah, the sweet grace with which girls/women can move... How can we not love them? :-D

@anne91276 Absolutely wrong. Sasha Cohen was in both the 2002 and Feb 2006 Olympics which WAS before this video was made. She was making a name for herself and her wonderful technique, style and artistry going all the way back to 1999.

Liriub. Sasha didn't exist when this video was created. She was an unknown skater before her career took off.

@guso90210 Janet Lynn attempted a triple sal at the 1968 Olympics but she two-footed it. She landed a triple-toe at the 1969 US Nationals. I don't know if that makes her first but it was pretty early on!

This is an awesome video...it shows great talent on your part. While I too missed seeing Sasha your reasoning is understandable and I just enjoyed watching....it was so GREAT that you included Tonya Harding in this...really cool....Peggy Fleming just gets prettier as the years go by and Janet Lynn is just refreshing...such a genuine happy smile...also interesting to see what the earlier skaters had to contend with...COLD and bulky outfits...sadly, I didn't recognize many of the others..my fault!

Obviously a Kwaniac posted this. Any history of female skaters that could so obviously overlook Sasha Cohen is incomplete at minimum and likely to be biased towards Kwan.

@HowsaBowsaYowsa If you'd bothered to READ THE CREDITS you would know that I made this video in 2005. Cohen didn't win her one and only national title until 2006, hence Kwan is the final skater. She also is featured heavily because she won 9 titles. Simple as that. But sadly you didn't do the math. Nor, it seems, could you be bothered to check the comments here where I have replied to similarly intellectually challenged people. Do yourself a favour and do your homework before slamming vids ok?

@floskate Sasha was an awesome force to be reckoned with going way back to 2002 even before then. She should have been included nonetheless. You miss the best skaters by only going by win/loss records. Really, judging being the way it is you cannot rely on judges to point out the best of the best skaters. Simple, do your own homework.

@HowsaBowsaYowsa My record and reputation for skating history knowledge is well known amongst many skating fans, thanks love. The idea of my montage was to showcase the great ladies singles champions from as far back as I had footage up to the THEN present day 2005. If I wanted to do a US ladies 2nd place montage I would have - but I don't. :P Don't like it? Then go make your own montage but quit back pedalling on your initial argument and trying to change the goalposts ok?

Anybody knows who was the first lady to perform a triple jump in competition ?
guso90210 9 months ago
@guso90210 That's a good question and the answer seems to be different depending on what you read. Most agree that Petra Burka did a triple sal back in 1962 at the Canadian Nationals but we've never seen footage so don't know. At worlds, most would agree that Sonja Morgenstern was the first in 1971 (triple sal) but Gaby Seyfert was doing triple loop at Europeans in 1968 & 69 (really cheated though). However some say a czech skater did a triple sal at 1959 Worlds but again, there's no evidence.
