      It’s so sad because she was told her life she could never do it, she was nothing but “trailer trash” compared to the perfect competition. Constantly marked down for presentation. At that single moment everything was perfect, she was able to say that she was the best at something and you can see it on her face.

      Yes, Midori and Tonya were simply in another league. But Tonya was not as consistent with her triple axel as Midori was, although Tonya did have a Midori-like period with such consistency in her triple axel, and that was in 1991.

    • @jondavwal13
      @jondavwal13 4 роки тому +24

      Midori had this over Tonya in almost every jump. Midori was always in perfect position in the air. Tonya starts to tilt on her way down on every triple but it didn’t affect the others. Midori’s is hands down the best in history. My second favorite was Nagasu’s at the Olympics although a one off really doesn’t give you bragging rights.

      I think the extremely height, full rotation and "vibrance" are keys to make a 3A "pleasant to watch". I think both Midori and Tonya had that height and vibrancy. But Midori's leg position and Tonya's WILD axis made them look like there was something wrong.

  • @lsrasr158
    @lsrasr158 5 років тому +2123

    Which one is my favorite. That's easy. Midori hands down. No one to this day (June 29 19) has performed a better triple axel. Her triple axel at the 1990 worlds LP in Halifax was so incredible that the UK and Canadian commentators said it was probably the best triple axel in the competiton including the men. Her triple axel at Albertville in 92 at the 3 minute 10 second mark of a 4 minute LP was so unbelievable that the olympic channel honored it as an impossible moment at the olympic games. Midori is the greatest technical skater ever and the queen of the triple axel. If she was in her prime today, she would be landing quads.

      @@schlagsahne394 I saw a japanese video a while ago with english subtitles where Midori was being interviewed and talking about her 1988 to 1992 years. I think she said she had attempted triple axels and perhaps quads at 14 or 15 but had fractured her ankle. Her coach, Machiko Yamada who Midori lived with, then forbid Midori attempting them. She then said that when she only finished 5th in Calgary with all the triples she did vs. what Katarina did in winning the gold, she decided she had to introduce the triple axel into her skating to win on the international stage. It is amazing how quickly she did it. She barely missed landing a clean 3A at the 1988 skate america, she then landed the 3A at a home town event before landing it internationally at the 1988 NHK.

    Good effort from all these skaters but Midori Ito truly is the best jumper in the history of ladies’ figure skating. Although some people might think the other skaters included in this clip have so-called “cleaner” position in the air, I would beg to differ. Most of the other skaters (sole exception being Tanya Harding) learned to execute this jump by relying on really tight turns to complete the 3.5 rotation, as opposed to powerful take off. Consequently, most of them lack height and distance. Midori’s triple axel has the most height and distance because of her athleticism and how she takes off. Tanya arguably managed to get the same height, but she couldn’t quite match the distance because Tanya’s technique somehow would cause her to lean out out of the axis and backwards,, which forced her to have to re-center her body and subsequently lose the momentum to create good distance. Midori on the other hand is good at keeping her body position either centered or at least leaning forward (instead of backwards), Ultimately Midori pole vaults her triple axel, while the rest hopped and twisted their bodies into a pencil.

    Just because I absolutely adore Mao, I'm going to throw in some more incredible records she has accomplished with the triple axel.
    1. Was the youngest lady to do the triple axel (bested by Rika now)
    2. Is the oldest lady to do the triple axel
    3. Is the only lady to have completed the triple axel in two separate olympics
    4. First woman to land a triple axel in the short program at the Winter Olympics
    5. First woman to land two triple axel jumps in the same program
    There is so much more to this tremendously talented (and in my eyes, slightly underrated) athlete than the axel, her signatures also includes her intricate stepsequences, spirals, and one hand biellmans.

    joining those saying that Midori Ito's 3A is still the greatest after all those years. While there are many things to appreciate about most of these ladies' axels (Rika's is tight and has fantastic flow and speed coming out, Mao's is light and airy, Liza has rock-solid technique ), Midori reaches a height and distance that are unsurpassed to this day. It's mind-boggling how high she gets and makes you wonder if she has springs in her legs. Plus, there was never a doubt about underrotations, even though she rotated visibly slower than every woman/girl in this video. And yet, even in real-time you could see her finishing the rotations in the air. Truly unmatched.

    Tonya Harding:
    • First American woman to land a triple axel in competition.
    • The first woman ever to land a triple axel in a short program.
    • The first woman ever to land a triple axel in combination.
    • The first woman ever to land 2 triple axels in the same competition.
    Let’s never forget that. Thank you, great video!
    Btw, Tonya and Midori are the best... The others are nothing compared to this two.

    The sheer power midori and Tonya went into their 3a's with was scary as fk but insanely mesmerizing. The height alone was incredible.
    I felt like you never had to question their rotations and now everything is so small and quick to rotate, the landings suffer immensely.

    @jondavwal13 5 років тому +11

    There is Midori and there is everybody else. She is the only one who uses the speed to launch herself into the air so she doesn't have to rotate all that fast. It's a fearless, perfect jump, with complete control in the air. Tonya had the same power but no control and always leaning. None of the others is even worth mentioning. I do think Mirai's was excellent but someone who only lands it once can't be mentioned in the same breath as Midori.

    I just love how every time they land after succeeding the triple axel they have a moment of celebration by expressing their joy. You can see the happiness and pride in their faces. Especially with Tonya and Midori. (:

    I still enjoy Midori's and Tonya's the most, after all these years...I don't think anyone can match the excitement generated from 1989-1992! Midori's speed and lightness, and Tonya's pure adrenalin and power...I go back to these constantly. Mao Asada managed to do it and make it look easy (good for her) but it looked so easy that it wasn't interesting or exciting to watch! Almost like a walley.

    I love Midori Ito's triple axel to death. I think her technique, timing and trajectory was as good as it gets aside from her high free leg that worked for her but would not necessarily be ideal for most people.
    One woman everybody seems to overlook would be Tiffany Chin. Please take a look at this triple axel and tell me if you have not seen a more balanced triple axel from anybody else ever... ua-cam.com/video/GE9pApU53W0/v-deo.html
