Another version of Midori's brilliant skate in Halifax at the World Championships of 1990. The late Alan Weekes who was a great fan of Ito's skating commentates in his usual understated and very British way as she thrills the crowd, although even the ever placid Mr Weekes gets pretty excited at her beautiful triple axel.

30年前なのに今でも勝てる人が居ないような演技ですよ。３Aの高さ、3lzの助走キャンセル、速さ、壁にぶつかりそうな大きさ、後半の3-3から畳みかけるような疾走感、化け物なみの体力。そしてみどりさんは音感、リズム感がとっても良いので、音楽にのった演技がこのプログラムを忘れられないものとしてます。

This lady single handedly raised the bar for women's technique... the first woman to do a 3-3 and the first woman to do all jumps as triples, and the first woman to land a 3A at World's and Olympics. Gracious, polite and with a smile that can light up an area. Quite frankly her form of joyous artistry always appealed to me more than others posing and posturing on the ice.

スピード、ジャンプ、スピン、ステップ、滑り、全てが破格。3A(3回転半じゃなくて3回転と2/3回ってない？)もすごいけど、後半に見せた3T&3Tのセカンドジャンプは、1stジャンプより高く飛んでて凄い！ほんとスペクタクル&ドラマチックスケーティングという感じ。伊藤みどりは、フィギュアスケートをアスリートスポーツに変革した大天才ですね。今見ても、息を呑む迫力があってあっと言う間に4分間が過ぎていく。まさにレジェンド。 Her speed, jump, spin, steps, skating, and everything is exceptional. The 3A (Not 3 revolution and a half, but 3 revolution and 2/3 !?) is also wonderful, but a second jump of the 3T&3T shown in the second half is flying more highly than the first one. Feeling as a true spectacle and a dramatic skating. Midori Ito is the great genius who reformed figure skating in an athlete sport, isn't it? Even now, 30 years later, I hold my breath to see this. 4 minutes are passing soon. Midori Ito is really a Legend.

Debi rarely landed the 3/3 combo in competition. Midori landed the first triple-triple combo EVER when she was 12 years old - LONG before Debi even attempted them. Midori was landing triple Axels in practice in the early 80's. Debi Thomas didn't even do triple flip or triple lutz! Are you actually comparing the jumping skills of Midori Ito to Thomas? The only person who came close in jumping ability was Liz Manley, who was very inconsistent.

Loop jump is underrated despite of its difficulty. She controls the incredible speed changes by edge work, and even speeds up in the second half of the program to 3T-3T, so light in the air. Split-split-2A-crazy spin🤣 Her smile at the end is so cute😃

The truth is Debi Thomas and Katarina Witt were horrible free skaters compared to this. If skating were fair she would have won a medal in 1988. She wasn't even competing in the same event. Witt in particular was the most overscored skater in history. I don't think she ever was in a position on the ice that wasn't ugly. And she jumped like a hippo. I understand the rules were the rules then but they were all overscored in the long program, which should have been Ito, Manley, and probably 5-10 other people before you get to Witt. In that event, she might have won.

Of the men only Brian Boitano had the same hang time in the air on that jump. Fearless doesn't begin to describe what she was.

Survey question to all Midori Fans: if there is one triple Axel execution that is the finest, highest, and most dynamic that Midori has done, which one is it? For my it's the her triple Axel during her 1994 dura soft colors technical program, clad in dark blue outfit. Minus the self-applause, I think that is the highest and most perfect triple Axel she's ever done. It would make sense given that she lost a lot of weight so she probably could soar higher during that time. What about you guys ?

@@hennagaijin100 Scott Hamilton used the same word when Midori won the 1991 Lalique tourney. During the awarding of her technical marks Scott said "it is hard to compare any skater to Midori....she has revolutionized the sport of ladies figure skating".

Every time I watch this I have to comment on the sorry excuse for figure skating that exists today. Ten Russian women who do every jump pre-rotated with their arms over their head moving like turtles getting about 5 inches in the air. It's unwatchable. Olympic figure skating was the most popular sport in the world once. Now nobody could care less. The speed, height, and distance on Ito's jumps have never been matched and never will.

浅田真央、紀平梨花の2人とは次元が違う！もちろん2人も好きですが、伊藤みどりは別格。例えるなら、山口百恵や聖子や明菜、安室奈美恵や浜崎あゆみは時代を作ったけど女王美空ひばりには敵わないみたいな…

After this year they got rid of the compulsories. Trenary didn’t stand a chance of beating Midori after that. Midori moves ladies figure skating forward my miles in her career.
