We take a look back to the Women's singles free program in Figure Skating at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville. Japanese figure skater Midori Ito, the hot favourite, only placed fourth in the short program when she fell on her triple Lutz jump. Her competitors Kristi Yamaguchi and Nancy Kerrigan completed their triple Lutz-double toe loop combinations and then placed first and second. In the free skating, Midori Ito failed her triple Axel but she did not give up and managed to land it successfully with a second attempt at the end of her program. Thereby, Ito became the first woman ever to land one at the Olympic Games. She won the silver medal for Japan, with Kristi Yamaguchi claiming Gold.

That triple axel in the second half of the program was exquisite !!!!!! (Midori Ito)
Chills when Midori lands that axel in the second half
Honestly, this lineup in the ladies event is probably the best one with Yamaguchi, Ito, Harding, Kerrigan, Bonaly, Sato and Lu, all set the bar in this sport and all are either world champions or world medalists.
Favorite one here is Midori’s program, the music so haunting, and love how she nailed the triple axel near the end of the performance.

HISTORY. MIDORI’s historic triple axel and that epic comeback!
This is the Olympics where Midori landed her historic 3A right?
Wow, this audience really rallied for the skaters when they were struggling. Great sportsmanship all around!
Wow!! This is a rarity. Thank you @olympic
Midori Ito. What a legend. True winner of that Games.
How did the judges suddenly mark Midori's presentation .2 lower than her previous competitions all year? She had a fall but everyone fell. Midori was the only skater apart from 1 man to land a 3axel past the 3 minute mark. My opinion but she deserved 1st in the long. She landed 5 different triples as opposed to 3 different toe jumps from Kristi.
Midori☺️
Lmao who else saw the thumbnail as Nathan Chen at first?
wow it is insane how jumping and spinning techniques seem to have deteriorated over time back in 92 skaters where carring so much more speed across the ice, spinning faster, jumping higher and traveling more throughout the jumps, nowadays some skaters spin so slow that it seems like they are not gonna complete all the turns, and jumps look so low and under rotate and some are so locked and sketchy that look almost stationary.
FIRST TIME I SEE THE REPLAYS OF THE ALBERTVILLE 1992 WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES
Love midori ito
Technically the first triple axel in olympic ice was by Tonya Harding in the SP warmup. Shame she fell on the actual program
I'd be eternally grateful if you could upload the ladies' short program of this competition as well. Any chance? Pretty please?
love midori thank you so much ❤️
