    Well according to Yuzuru Hanyu there is an athlete that could possibly jump a quint and that's Boyang Jin. He's even anticipating the day he will see Boyang Jin jump a quint. Despite what science says, Yuzu's belief in Boyang Jin is greater.

      Maybe in shows or training with more or less success, but unless it hasn't been done under competitive circumstances, it doesn't count. Land that thing in a programm and get showered with points and your name engraved into figure skating history.

    • @6Lettie9
      @6Lettie9 6 років тому +48

      perhaps because of all the jumping going on in the recent years, their component now weighs heavily on the technical score (together with other tes elements) which is the undeniable "sports-like" stuffing of figure skating, so even the most snobbish and picky audience that would otherwise say this sport lacks characteristics of an actual sport (ugh) now goes aha, uh-huh, okay. also fs has been increasingly turning into quite a thing to observe and, compared to many other sports, it's evolving at a wild pace and there's this constant element of surprise, numerous world records, etc. so panem et circenses, right. also let's just say this current figure skating generation has brought in many new fans - and many new aspiring young skaters - that's for sure.
      hence, viewers become invested

      I've heard people make light hearted jokes about ice dancing before, but never really figure skating. Even then I never met someone who thought either was easy or didn't involve athleticism. Anyone who's ever tried ice skating before can easily appreciate how ridiculously hard it would be, especially figure skating. Curling on the other hand... not too much respect form an athleticism perspective although I'm sure it takes tons of skill.

The lutz is the jump that has a lower success rate - and for everyone else as well. If you were talking about his 2018-19 seasons, then his falls were often on the flip and lutz, but mainly due to the amount of injuries he kept accumulating following Pyeongchan (which he did on pain killers and rehabilitation). Judging by his performance this past japanese nationals, then 2020 was a good year for resting his ankle which he keeps busting. (I say that with love, but also... Ugh.

    Don't give Shaun White any ideas he'll want to do that trick, its simple law of physics you have something strapped to your feet which is long and heavy makes you rotate slower than something short and light like ski boot which helps you rotate faster. Bigger higher jumps for snowboarders and skiers will feel like landing on concreate you can only go so high.

    • @mikhaillastname8719
      @mikhaillastname8719 6 років тому +24

      basically, you don't feel like landing on concrete on big air. the proper landing has a steep angle so you are more sliding it then putting yourself to a stop. therefore big kicker might be even smoother for you than small ones that have flatter landing.

      @@montserrat8519 2 years later me speaking. That’s a good observation because now that I’m doing backspins I realize a lot of things. I think the reason people who don’t skate are gravitated towards back spins is the the movement of putting your inside leg up already moves you in the correct direction for spinning (unless maybe your left handed). The natural edge you tend to lean on when your inside foot is up curves you the right way compared to front spins. Also in dance you do “back spins” too.

    3:05 I disagree with this statement. Boyang Jin started the Quad Race with his Quad Lutz in 2015 and the first man ever to land four quads in a program at the 2016 Four Continents Championships.

      He said _five_ quads in one program, not four. At the 2016 Four Continents Championships, Jin landed a quad lutz, quad salchow, and two quad toe loops in his free skate, becoming the first skater to land three kinds of quads in a single program.
