The amount of comments saying “well Tonya Harding didn’t have all that equipment but she could do it” to put mirai down is just? So stupid? Congrats to tonya but she’s not skating anymore for obvious reasons and Mirai is our Olympian athlete as of right now. Don’t put down her achievements dang

They had the jump harness back in Tonya's days. 🙄 Mirdori Ito and Tonya were muscles which takes away from being graceful on the ice. This skater is graceful and getting her jumps without heavy weight lifting.

@DeathBecomesHer lol What truth? You seriously think jump harness werent around in the 80's and 90's. You seriously don't think Tonya used them? Ignorance. Too bad Tonya had horrible morals and sportmanship. And no she is not the best jumper and definately not a top skater.

@@l.carlson2026 I have to disagree; Tonya and Midori you could see properly kick off the ice, whereas Mirai and other skaters who can land this jump just rotate off of it. Both are great technically, and without different body types and styles we wouldn't have the individuality and artistry we have in skating. But kudos to Mirai for being one of the handful who have landed this in competition.

She just landed it in the Olympics!!

First step is marching on the ice and using the wall for balance. Once you can march comfortably and balanced, then skating should be little easier. I started skating 3 years ago when I was 32 and it took 2 people to get me over to my first class. If I can do it, you can too.

I posted this comment before the short program.

We are now up to 9 ladies who have landed a triple axel in international competition. Alysa Liu the new US ladies champion at 13 years old landed 2 triple axels in her LP. She landed one at the Asian open in 2018 which was international. We are now up to 3 ladies landing a 3A at the olympics, Midori, Mao and Mirai. there is a distict possibility both Rika and Alysa will land a 3A at the 2022 olympics. Credit Midori probably the greatest technical skater ever for starting the push forward in ladies skating by landing the 1st triple axel internationally at the NHK in 1988 and then Tonya landing it at the 1991 US championships. Mirai has joined a select group and it is well deserved.

Such balance. It's honestly beautiful

Come on Mirai, you've got to hit that beautiful triple axle at the Olympics. Nationals is the hard part, so just let it fly in the Olympics!

Actually, you don’t spot in skating, because you’re rotating so fast that it’s literally impossible. This goes for spins too. It’s something that you just have to develop tolerance for over much practice, unfortunately

As a very noob figure skater, I can attest to this. I wouldn't call myself a proficient or experienced skater by any stretch, but even I've learned to deal with the dizziness that comes with spinning anticlockwise. And it's directional; any attempt to spin clockwise makes me dizzy after three revolutions. You can only wonder what it'd be like for these skaters.

She deserves this spot on the Olympic team

That spinning contraption is crazy.

She just landed this at the olympics :)

She did it!! So proud of her ❤️

Girl, you did it at the Olympics! Congratulations 🏅

mao's triple axel was small in distance and height and were excessively pre-rotated, and she wasn't very consistent either. i was always amazed by midori's huge huge triple axel and mirai is working so hard for that, hope she lands it at the olympic!

@hantingchen5497

6 жыл бұрын

Maos distance was not small, it was an average jump distance. Her triple axel height is immense, way way WAY higher than any girls any jump for the past decade, there are exact measurements online. I believe her axel is 61cm vertical length in comparison to the other girls. Prerotation???? I disagree and shes rarely been downgraded for prerotation (usually underrotation at the ending of the jump). And lmao at the consistency comment, she may not have a 100% success rate but she has accomplished the jump wayyy more than any other lady in history. Midori landed less than 6 in competition, mao had more than 4 times that many. Im a huge fan of midoris axel, but to talk about maos like that is hilarious

@singingpinkclover

6 жыл бұрын

she was never downgraded because she fulfilled the requirement for not pre rotating more than 1/2 turn on ice. axel allows you to pre rotate 1/2 and underrotate 1/4 turn, allowing a skater to only rotate 2&1/4 in air in conclusion. i'm not saying her axel is horrible and needs to be downgraded, it's just that she knows that rule and because of that rule, she always pre rotated (literally pre rotated, i'm not saying she needs to be downgraded because like i said, she still met the requirement) 1/2 on ice and the rest in air. most skaters only pre rotate about 1/4 turn for an axel (because you kinda have to and that is why axel allows you to pre rotate more than other jumps) but mao turns 1/2 on ice so she can only rotate 3 in air. if you look at slow mo of other skaters, they pre rotate a bout 1/4 in which only the front toe pick is on the ice at the end of 1/4 turn, meaning they're getting ready for take off, but mao's full blade is on the ice at the end of 1/2, and she starts from there. this is just a personal opinion that i prefer midori's huge jumps. mao obviously knew how to jump 3A and i'm not saying it's wrong. she got the points, but im just saying it's not the textbook axel.

@@baritonebynight actually there will never be another Midori. Tonya only landed them competitively in 1991. Midori was landing them from 1988 to 1996. Midori had height, distance, speed. slowest rotation, and a recklessness that no one else had doing a 3A. Also you can watch videos on you tube of Midori doing a 3A-3T in warmup and practices for the lalique tourney and albertville olympics. Tonya could only dream of doing a 3A-3T combination. In any ranking of ladies triple axels I have ever seen, Midori is always rated #1.

This is so inspirational, congratulations on landing the Triple Axel Mirai!! Represent

Love Mirai..!! She's a natural born talent and it shows in all aspects of her skating. She shouldn't ever doubt herself. If she wants them 6's across the board, she better just concentrate on nothing and attack everything with her natural power. IMO- A young Midori Ito. Although Midori gets more air in her triple axel and all of her jumps, Mirai has her own beautiful style and grace as well.

And she did it! Way to go!!

Proper triple axel right there.

YOU DID IT GIRL!! Congrats! ❤️👏🏻👏🏻

You go girl!! I'm so excited for her

How is no one talking about her?

Whether or not she landed it cleanly, these in practice are the best I've seen EXCEPT for Midori (who to this day, I believe had some kind of rocket on her skate). Tonya's leaned heavily and were hideous jumps and landings. Mao's were/are girly and small. This is a truly beautiful triple axel. If she gets it going for the Olympics she could win. The rest of her skating is truly remarkable.

Don't get me wrong. It's a beautiful jump. Midori's 3A was hardly effortless but it was the most exciting jump I think I've ever seen (man or woman). Mirai is solid and muscular and not tiny so the jump has a certain excitement and power to it. Kind of like the difference between Boitano and Orser. Orser was effortless and catlike and spun very fast in the air. Boitano muscled his jumps up into the air. I found that more exciting.
