Unfortunately she was born very early for ice skating; if she was 15 years old nowadays; she could win 3 olympics gold, and all the world titles sure! And for that time period; I believe she could have change his coach for better artistic results, presentation and coreography. I believe if she ever could have just a bit more artistic impression; still she could win much more gold too even for that time period( For example Katarina Witt’s artistic ability was way much impressive than her technical abilities)

15? 15! I'm just starting to watch Midoris programs. I am just about speechless. Every other skater seems sluggish and looks like their jumps are 'forced' , Midori seems preprogrammed to jump effortlessly, perfectly and with no limitations.

She spins SO fast. Even her triple toe looks insane!!!
What really sets apart Midori’s jumps visually is not only the height of her jumps but the dynamic visual effect created by her high cross leg mid air. Most skaters are taught to be tight in the air as possible, but being in a tight position like that, like Mao Asada, for example, does not create much movement or texture for the viewer. However with Midori’s high cross leg position, you get that exciting movement midair not to mention the “visual satisfaction” that the jump is landed on one foot cleanly (it’s sometimes hard to see if the skater 2-footed the landing with tight legged positions).

Not to mention how high you have to jump to keep your free leg higher when it crosses the landing leg. Skaters are taught to keep their legs tight on triples because it's a necessity to complete the rotation. Not for Midori. Ito delays and slows down her rotation speed because she jumps so high, skates so fast, and covers so much ice while she is in the air. She was unique. Only Boitano had that kind of hang time in the air.

@@jondavwal13 which is why I dont understand why the rules penalize high cross leg positions.
Her jumps were SUPER sensational, of course, but I am amazed by how exceptionally deep, strong, agile and steady her edges were. Most “jumping fleas” tend to have a fluffier quality to their skating, which may signal weaker basic skating skills, but that definitely wasn’t the case with Midori. It is a pity compulsory figures held her back during her best years.

It is 2019, but there is only one lady who can do this combination, but it is still not Midori Ito level.

Amazing. The female commentator at the end focusing on the jumping passes being jammed into the corners can take a hike.
@quiddy2 жыл бұрын
she really was full of crap, not all of the jumps were jammed in the corners and what a stupid comment. a jump well executed is a jump well executed no matter where it is landed.
This program is stunning, so musical. Figure skating hasn't seen anything like this yet as Scott Hamilton predicted at the end of her 1991 LP. The woman commentator makes me laugh when she goes into jealous buzzkill mode at the end and complains about the jumps being in the corners 😂 The other commentators completely ignore her 🤣

It is the ONLY authentic jump in figure skating what Midori Ito does! Even now in 2018 I can't still watch anything more delightful at all than she performed EVER.

Not a good commentator. To quote a far better commentator, Toller Cranston the 1976 Olympic bronze medalist, about Midori's skating "there is simply no one like her", "she is beyond 6.0", "no one is in this league". enough said.

@eyen302 жыл бұрын
I do not agree and feel that your view on the ranking is solely based on Tanya landing a triple lutz combo, without considering other aspects of the overall sp, such as: 1) Midori did a double -triple combo, which is harder than a triple-double, because you have to ensure that the speed you exit on your first double jump is fast enough to pull off a triple. Tanya’s second double loop jump had absolutely ZERO speed coming out of it (not to mention the sloppy position in the air), whereas Midori’s double loop was HUGE and fast in comparison and both jumps were landed with good speed coming out of them. 2) Midori’s double flip was bigger and completed with a much harder hand position than Tanya’s. 3) Tanya’s double axel was pedestrian compare to Midori’s unusual and difficult entrance to the double axel, plus her hand position and flow on the exit. 4) Although the speed on Midori’s spin was slower than Tanya’s, hers had much more control. Tanya’s combo spin really travelled and was not centered. 5) Midori’s footwork was faster than Tanya’s and artistically more interesting. 6) All in all, Midori’s routine was much more artistic interesting and cohesive. Tanya’s number is her typical “patchwork” with generic movements,. Under the correct scoring system, Midori clearly would have gotten much higher grade of execution on nearly all of the required components of a SP than Tanya. Furthermore, she also would have received a higher component score than Tanya. So yes, you are right in the sense that Tanya would have scored higher on landing a lutz versus of a triple loop, but that along with a faster speed on her spins were the only two aspects of routine that were superior. Ultimately a SP is not graded solely on a single triple jump and the speed of the spin. If it were judged solely on those two elements, then figure skating would be a sad sport to watch.

she should have been like a 8 time world champion if not 10, those figures were such a joke. I know some of you appreciate that they teach basic skating skills and edging etc, but all they did was allow judges to hold back superior free skaters such as midori.

LOL she didn't even compete in 8 worlds (she competed in 7 exactly). And bombed badly at the 91 worlds mainly due to injuries where there were no figures. Still I see your point.
