I’ve never seen any skater male or female be less afraid of momentum. Everybody tries to control the rotation to some degree. Midori just gives herself enough speed and trusts herself in the air to get high enough and jump far enough to complete the rotation. The fearlessness of her takeoffs are unique in figure skating history. I’m always in awe.

Ito was the best jumper in all of women’s figure skating. Her triple Axel was the best, and no other woman since has had a better one. People remark about Tonya Harding’s triple Axel, but Harding’s was always tilted and off-center. Ito’s was high and centered, and often seemed to suspend in the air because it was so high and covered so much distance.

I love how her triple triple combinations were super smooth. Not like some skaters today who shall not be named who bounce around on their edges before going into their second triple jump.

Her triple axel was so amazing that her 3-3s got overshadowed. I hate it when people only give credit to Yamaguchi's 3L-3T but not Ito's. She's the goddess of 3-3s and triple axel. Period.

I agree. Her height, ice coverage and the landing position are far more superior of her contemporary

Yeah!! Thank you for saying that. She was and will be the goddess of all kind of jumps forever. Gorgeous 3Lz-3T and 3F-3T💕 The perfect 3A-3T in the rehearsal. Her 3T-3T looks like a part of step, since she has no cross over, no long run-up and no preparation. Then, what you mention reminds me one thing: her jump was so amazing and powerful that her spins and step works got overshadowed. I hate it when people give credit only to her jumps but ignore other elements she does. It’s an art of fine and sensitive craft at every single moment.

Mitori’s jumps were massive and rotation finished well before she was about to end. They looked flawless. She probably could have done quads

WOW!!!...Midori was waaaaaay ahead of her time...an amazing jumper..and so consistent as well!! no other woman was landing triple-triple jumps with her consistency in the world...and she was pretty consistent with the Triple Axel too!!
Midori really had no equal in ladies figure skating. In her 1990 world's halifax LP, Toller Cranston the 1976 bronze medalist and a huge admirer or Midori summed up her skate and her abilities beautifully on the Canadian TV version. Just after she completes an incredible 3A, "there is simply nobody like her". At the end of her LP, "there is nothing comparable to this, this is simply beyond 6.0....nobody is in this league." I also liked the comment Dorothy Hamill, 1976 gold medalist, made during the 1992 Albertville olympics when asked to compare Kristie and Midori "Kristie is musical and graceful but Ito is something special. When Midori skates I'm on the edge of my seat."

Tonya may have been inconsistent- but she had monstrous height on her lutz. Her axel (when she did it) was amazing too, she could've beaten the men if she wanted jump for jump. But Ito is just as good and more consistent.

@agnishwar banerjee If you are just talking about the size and nothing else, then, sure, I won’t necessarily disagree if somebody were to say Tonya Harding, on her good day, could have possibly matched Midori. But the overall quality was never even close. The fact that Tonya could almost never do a triple as a second jump in combos says it all. Tonya typically landed her jumps in a stiff and awkward way w/o much flow or control, which usually prevented her from doing triples as second jumps. Off the top of my head, I remember seeing a 3T-3T from Tonya, but she lost balance and had to put her foot down after the 2nd 3T...and I am having a hard time recalling another 3-3 or 2-3 from her. Midori, by contrast, didn’t lose her flow or control when she landed jumps, making it easy for her to perform triples as her second jumps. In fact, it seemed as though she were able to land with more speed than she entered the jumps with, at times!

Jose Fernández I know exactly what you mean!!! Ito’s jumps were SO high that she didn’t have to pull in very hard to make the rotations-and it sometimes looked like she was doing doubles instead of triples because she was so loose in the air. Harding, by contrast, didn’t have the same level of explosive height on her jumps, so she had to pull in hard to do her triples, creating the visual impression that she was doing tough triples. I wish Harding had more flow out of her triples , though, and that’s the only thing that’s keeping me from unconditionally loving Harding’s jumps...

She covers like a third of the ice with her 3T3T 🤯 it’s unreal
I have no idea why some people say "Midori had Flutz" or "Midori had Lip" They do so-called "jump analysis" by zooming-up the skate boots in slo-mo and frame-by-frame to check anyone's ankle/edge to criticize. It's a bad side-effect of advanced technology. They can't see the forest for the trees. In Midori's era, understanding of edge work was much more precise than post-compulsory generations. When she didn't have enough counter for 3Lz, the quality in that case was not as great as her good ones, but her Lz was very very authentic as the original 3Lz by Don Jackson. Also, her 3F here looks flat edge in turn moment, but then her upper body is leaning to right and her left knee goes in, plus toe-pick is far right, if you compare with her Lz. She changed edge from outside to inside super quick. Nowadays Lz and F look so similar, only the difference is the long run-up/turns and outside/inside edge. But these two jumps originally have completely different nature: Lz is counter-rotational, while F is centrifugal-force-based. As far as I know, Carolina Kostner and Tatyana Malinina are the greatest in both Lz/F, among post-compulsory female skaters.

Wonder how she is still in one piece after finishing the grueling program. Nobody jumps like that nowadays. Not even close. Rotating very fast and just pretending to jump. Midori was really unappreciated. Such a shame.
