Note: The video states Mirai Nagasu was the second American to land a triple axel in competition (this was recorded before her Olympic success). In 2005, American Kimmy Miessner completed a triple axel in national competition, though not world competition. You can read about it here: www.espn.com/ol...
Want to see Tonya' Harding's routine? You can find one version here:
• Tonya Harding 1991 Nat...
In this episode of Vox Almanac, Phil Edwards explores the triple axel and why it's such a big deal. The figure skating jump is legendary among ice skaters, from Tonya Harding's 1991 triple axel to modern icon Mirai Nagasu's attempts in competition. It turns out that the physics of the triple axel makes it a uniquely difficult jump - and one worth learning about.
As a forward-edge jump, the mechanics of a triple axel requires technical acumen from skaters while they still try to maintain an artistically interesting performance. Pioneers like Midori Ito and Tonya Harding had to jump, ramp up rotation speed, and then land all while trying to look good. This effort set them apart from competitors like Nancy Kerrigan, but it wasn't easy to land a triple axel in competition.
And that difficulty might be why the triple axel endures as the pinnacle of figure skating performance - and why it's sure to light up the 2018 Winter Olympics as well.

So, you’re telling me you hurl yourself in the air off of one foot moving forwards, make 3.5 rotations while absorbing massive gravitational force, and then landing basically on a knife blade in the opposite direction...
....yeah I’ll just take up knitting.
Jarrel Brannon its easy
It takes years of training.
I'm 12 and i can only do a single axel and I see 9 year olds who can do doubles at my rink lol
WilliamE216 she did the triple several years before the "incident", and she would have attempted it at the Olympics regardless of who was competing.
Anika 😂 Sure
The expression she makes when she realizes she will be able to fully complete the jump without falling is pure gold.
It's cute and badass at the same time.
♥️
eizhowa ikr, she’s so happy :))
Where?
Time stamp please
@@mureithikivuti 04:44, just as she completes the landing
Tonya Harding did it in 1991 and it took 27 years for the second American to do it in a competition. Only 8 women have ever done it..... Tonya is badass.
How many men have done it ?
sundance cassidy, most top male figure skaters can do the 3A. the 1st male 3A i believe was 1978. Brian Orser did the 1st in the olympics in 1984. Midori Ito was the 1st lady to do the 3A in 1988 and she was also the 1st lady to do the 3A at the olympics in 1992. To date, 8 women have landed the 3A in international competition. Kimmie Meisner of the US did a 3A at US nationals in 2005 I believe but that was not international so she is not counted in the 8.
@iM tHrEw according to Harding it was her crazy husband. She knew something was up but she claims she didnt think he club her leg.
@Isr asr how many men have done the triple axel though?
@@nickgarner7460 - Vern Taylor did the 1st 3A in 1978. Since then it has become a standard jump for male figure skaters competing at national and international levels. There is no count I can find because it would be too many to count. If you watch Midori's 1990 worlds LP in Halifax on either the Canadian or UK versions, the triple axel she did was so incredible that Toller Cranston on the Canadian version and Alan Weeks on the UK version said her triple axel was as good or better then any in the competition including the men, implying all the men did the 3A at the competition.
I know less about the triple axel after watching this.
Same, I'm confused. Too much physics 😐
Well, just imagine this. Try to jump as high as you could by your own force. Then try now to jump when someone pushed your feet up. You’re going to know that you can jump higher when you have that assistance. And that is the secret of the jumps in figure skating. The higher you jump, the better and the more spin you do on the air.
So why Axels are so special? Well, there are other jumps that also don’t have that toe pick assistance but all of them start at a backward position and landing on a backward position again- creating the number of spins needed. So if you spin in the air 3 times then it is a triple. On the other hand, axels have a forward approach and backward landing- giving an extra half rotation. So if you want to have your axel count as a 3A, you must spin in the air 3 1/2 revolutions.
But I want to also take note that when you jump in figure skating, both height and distance are important. And the physics comes in there.
I understand it...?
Samee
It didn’t help
Is it illegal to show the actual video or something 😒
CurveTheRain no
Nope its not
Right I thought the same thing, i just wanted to see the triple axel😂
N0
No?????
The editing on this video is so annoying to watch and follow
Thinking the exact same thing, lots of pointless things inserted too
Ikr I think it's subliminal messages
thank you
@Kaitlyn’s Creations
That’s Vox in a nutshell!
Not for me.
the fact that yuzuru hanyu makes this look so easy, i'm-
AND he's trying to learn how to do it as a quad
@@synnvelange7062 and he makes the 4.5 revolutions with the harness! I think he has to learn how to land it correctly with the harness, but i hope he does and doesn't get injured
@@florarce3147 oh woah really?! did he mention or show that he did that? (im just curious/interested)
Goat
lolll this is only on my recommendations bc i watched a tonne of yuzuru videos
Why are they just obsessing about "the only American woman" ? What about other skaters of other nationalities who did this ?
Riicho Bamin bc americans are making this
Because we are American
@@brianchen8299 no actually. A Japanese lady did it in 1988 but okay lol
Midori ito was the first women to do it she is Japanese and her jump was gorgeous too
1. this video was made by Americans
2. if something was so far only achieved by a single person then it is a special feat and thus worth putting emphasis on
0:24 For those that don't care about "first Americans" participation awards, the first woman to land it was Japanese Midori Ito in 1988. The first man to land it was Canadian Vern Taylor in 1978.
Dirty Poul it's like you don't know how to watch a video, they literally say it in the video
SecretLizardPoliceSquad Sure, they mention Ito offhand at the end, but the focus surely is on "first American". And 34 upvotes means I'm apparently not alone.
Dirty Poul looks like someone doesnt know how to admit that they posted without knowing what they were talking about. Also wow the American channel is focusing on American skaters that they have easier access to than skaters from other countries? Who knew?
Oh, forgot about a conclusion. I just want to say that I hope this makes it clear why I made my first comment. There's more to it than just this video.
THANK YOU, I was just about to google who was the FIRST WOMAN to land a triple axel but you saved me the hassle👍🏻
hold my beer
James Keo you go James .. show them how its done
There's goes James leaning in front the rear, he gets ready... ⛸💨💨❄️
James Keo LMAO
DO A BACKFLIP
do a Quintuple axle and become the ice drill

me: *spends next 2 hours looking at ice skating videos on TH-cam*
Marcelo Rezende same
Marcelo Rezende lmao
Lol sammme. My recommended page is full of figure skating videos
Same
look up the quad axle because it makes this seem like a meaningless platitude to demean women and girls by not holding them o the same standards of everyone else.
These dancers are top line athletes. Full on dedication and hard work for years and years non stop. Honestly just amazing work.
Don'tHateMe CauseYou'reWrong Figure skating is a sport as well as an art. These skaters enjoy what they do, just as any other athlete in any other sport does. It’s a passion.
Don'tHateMe CauseYou'reWrong It’s not useless if it brings joy, whether to the skater or the audience.
Too bad it provides nothing of value to society, drains resources from the needy and promotes a confrontational and adversarial environment around the world.
Don'tHateMe CauseYou'reWrong watching youtube videos is a waste of time why are you here and not contributing to society
Kevin Booth
So does the NFL, Soccer, and Basketball. Are you gonna bash those sports too?
Vox's editing and style can give me a serious headache sometimes
"When Physics turns into poetry", I think this is the most beautiful quote I have heard in a long time.
skating videos are so satisfying to watch
And in 1991, President Ronald Reagan said these immortal words, " Mr. Gorbachev, HADOUKEN this wall!"

I understood that reference
I don't understand that reference

This made me explosion prematurely.
currently doing the korean phase rush build and 17-3 now, spin 2 win.
Everyone would need to 'think about it' if you asked them to describe something - anything - in one word
Can you describe that feeling in one word?
historical
Not to mention she only takes like 2 seconds
no it cause triple axil
Am.I.Thirsty Tho because they make it seem like it was important when it really isn't
If you are going to do a feature on ladies performing the triple axel, Midori Ito comes first. Not only as the 1st woman to complete the triple axel in world competition, but also the 1st woman to complete the triple axel at the Olympics. Her triple axels are always rated the best. Tonya only learned to do the triple axel because she saw Midori do it at the NHK competition in Japan in 1990. If you want to see a perfect triple axel watch Midori's long program skate at the 1990 Worlds at Halifax. In all 3 broadcasts of the competition, U.S., Canada and U.K. the commentators said it was the most incredible jump ever performed in world competition by a female competitor. Toller Cranston, the famous Canadian figure skater who was doing the Canadian broadcast said it was probably the best triple axel done at the competition including the men.
@The Name Thing Is Not Happening TH-cam Tonya tried a triple axel at the 1990 US Olympic Festival Figure Skating in her free skate and fell on it. That was before the 1990 NHK I mentioned above. I don't know if she attempted a 3A in competition before that or how long she may have been practicing it. A 2005 Spokane article I read on Tonya said that when Tonya and her coach Dody saw Midori land an incredible triple axel in practice at the 1990 NHK, Tonya decided when she got back home she would learn and add the triple axel to her program which she did at US Nationals in 1991.
Midori I read was attempting the 3A in practice at 14 or 15 years old but suffered a fractured ankle so her coach banned it. After the Calgary olympics in 1988, Midori said in an interview that she decided she had to reactivate the triple axel in order to win at the world and olympic level. Her goal was to attempt and land a triple axel at the 1992 Olympics.
they mention midori at 3:50
@@ikea3035 yes that is true. But Tonya is the focus of the video. Midori is barely mentioned.
Who cares she's not American.
@@lsrasr158 because Tonya is American.
The day someone lands a Quadruple Axel in competition, I will lose my mind!!
possibly yuzuru hanyu
@@fishythefish7984 yeah he mentioned training for the quad axel so many times, at this point he probably already has it down:)
@@jocykim yeah, i hope so, i'd love to see it! (and i love yuzu lol)
@@fishythefish7984 same! it would be quite amazing to see it happen, hope yuzuru stays safe and healthy✨
@@jocykim yep!
I’m so happy that people are appreciating and remembering what she did in figure skating. All the drama doesn’t take away from the way she made history in the sport.
Actually, it kind of does.
BokuPower well it shouldn't.
IT IS impressive but she wasn’t the first woman but she was the first American woman and soon after another woman did a quad jump so I do say that media is focusing on her too much.
Next week on Vox, why zambonis are so loud
Zamboni S1E2 See that machine on the ice? We call it a *Zamboni*, but sometimes.. _they're_ not.
See our new Vox series, about brand names becoming the de facto term, in Brandy, with host Brandi Meels-Walker.
Feel free to send the check whenever, Vox.
*voice speaks over footage of Zambonis*
"But the Zamboni is more than just a vehicle for polishing ice skating surfaces..."
*dramatic pause*
"It's a symbol."
*climpering, one-string music with stock footage of zambonis, while the scene changes to a academic office*
*focus on man sitting in front of camera*
Man: "Well, we really need to go into the history of the Zamboni, and the context in which it was conceived, and that's something that a lot of people can't do very easily."
*shot of man blinking while voiceover speaks*
VO: "This is Professor George Veldt, from the University of Toronto, he has researched Zambonis for eight years, and what exactly makes them so notable."
Man, cont'd: "Well, they polish ice and that makes them really useful, and people needed that back in the day."
*change shot to footage of historical Zambonis and various papers*
VO: "But that's not all of it, research has shown that more than 37% of all Zambonis actually-"
And so on. XD
Enthused Norseman thank you
Enthused Norseman I feel like I've learned something here today. Or at least... 37% of something.
Got you to 1k likes
I think you missed an opportunity to update and praise Mirai as the first American lady to land a clean triple axel at the Olympics, on her way to a bronze team medal last night!
And only the 3rd woman EVER to land it at the Olympics (after Midori Ito and Mao Asada.)
And when do you think this was recorded?
Yeah, it's too bad Vox doesn't have the ability to see the future.
joulipatchouli Dumbass
VOX has put out very timely videos in the past. Obviously the footage was recorded a white back, but it would hardly have been a big deal to at least put an end card like "Congratualations Mirai for landing a clean triple axel at the Olympics!' if not an end card video message.
Yuzuru Hanyu probably written this in one of his notebooks, also imagined it a thousand times so his body could simulate it easily. Ugh. Quad Axel, we will witness it soon, I just hope Hanyu would be the first one who will land it in a competition.
Cool to see a yoongi stan here
Tbh, Yuzuru probably learned more from Midori than Tonya. Tonya was the first American woman but the first ever woman to do triple axel was a Japanese woman named Midori Ito. Also the first woman to do a quad jump was Miki Ando, another Japanese woman. So most likely his inspo comes from his own country not Tonya.
One year later and the first skater to land a quad axel in international competition is Ilia Malinin from the USA. Hanyu retired before he could successfully do it, but Ilia's quad axel is absolutely beautiful and phenomenal.
@@TawonYounge Yeah I know, but in my opinion Ilia Malinin's Quad Axel isn't beautiful. He has this excessive skid that makes it a backxel technique.
I prefer Yuzuru's technique in Beijing Olympics, 90° Pre-rotation and quick entry to Axis.
@@Mia-rf1pu thank you 💜
That editing drove me bonkers 😒 The whole time I was trying to understand the move so I could appreciate it and they would start to show the move and I would think, "Ah yes, here it is," and then they WOULD CUT AWAY. Then I was just annoyed with whatever they would show or say afterwards. Not even sure how many times that exact thought sequence happened during the whole thing. I'm definitely not watching again to count.
Tanya Harding is remembered for attacking her competitor, but damn, she nailed that insanely hard jump!
Jayyy Zeee i believe she has said that's what she wants to be remembered for
Dont talk until you have seen I, Tonya
Except for that whole part where she did not attack her.
She didnt attack anyone
Wait, did she attack her competitor?
Im going to be unstoppable next time I play trivial pursuit after binge watching vox.
my triple axl are the magazines covers dedicated to black panthers. The time, GQ, esquire. finally got them all.
darius jones lol
vox Has me thinking about things i shouldn't
Tavi Ke There is no boundary to thought.
and yuzu wants to add another rotation to this...
knowing his history with the triple, how it's basically HIS jump, it's no wonder
Sorry but it’s not his jump. I have respect for him but these women made history with it.
@@Chikitew lol i didn't mean it's his jump like he's the only one with a claim to it or bc he made it the most famous. i'm calling it his jump bc if u know anything abt yuzuru, the triple is his default jump and he treats it like it's as easy as any jump with one rotation. not disrespecting these women and the history they made at all, just mentioning how yuzu has integrated it into his skating
@@Chikitew it’s not his jump but it isn’t their jump either if you’re making it about who did it first.
Who thinks Yuzu can land a 4A someday?
Firebrain not me.
Firebrain heck yes
YESSSS
He said that he tried landing it in practice but it’s extremely hard , no body has ever attempted it in competition but maybe for the next Olympics we get one from him , tbh i would just rather see him skate the way he does , his usual routines are hard as heck already and the way he skates is just so beautiful that it doesn’t need to be drowned in countless technical elements
Apparently he has landed it in harness and can complete the rotations (but not land) without harness already. I have hope he'll fulfill this dream of his as well in the coming 2-3 seasons. His axel is absolutely gorgeous and huge as it is, so i have no doubt that the quad version wouldn't be any less gorgeous.
Triple axel sounds like some sort of ultimate move done by the villain of an anime to increase their agility, speed and power.
Villain: "Triple... AXEL!"

Grimesey she never smashed Nancy's kneecap, and she never intended to.
Zachary still intended to sabotage her though
Grimesey well ... Nancy did it first
Grimesey You should see Nancy react to oksana that won a gold medal. She had a attitude. So she isn't a sweet heart either.
ok vox, waiting for the quad axel sequal!!
I thought they would use a person but instead they used Barbie....
It's soo hard that most athletes can't do it. Hence why they use CGI for the I, Tonya movie. Please do some basic googling before making that kind of comment.
correction. most WOMEN can't do it. most of the top men can do a triple axel, no problem
Jack Regalado you'd think there's been HD slow mo research video of it by now
inahrum first men to land a triple was in 1978, and when you say most, you mean a dozen or so men on the whole planet...
Yonk they probably have to pay for it, or they were paid by barbie
Just the fact that Tonya used he Batman soundtrack is so epic. Better than the princess piano music... I once did a rhythmic gymnastics routine on a Nine Inch Nails song. Gotta do something different sometimes.
Niroki Itisme i loves the fact that she refused to go along with the princess bullshit

I get confused. Was it Tonya that had a security guard demolish Nancy's legs or the other way around?
Why is there always so much more focus on Americans? Tonya Harding was the first American woman to do a triple axel, but she was not the first woman in the world. Midori Ito was, but Tonya always seems to get mentioned a lot more when the triple axel is brought up. It's ridiculous.
E - yah i know right its ao americanocentric
Cucky Betamore racist much
Cucky Betamore is this sarcastic or did you just say that honestly? Just curious
Cucky Betamore No, this is the internet. Wow, you're an American stereotype.
E - maybe because were Americans!
ugh this guy annoys me, midori ito was the first women to land the triple axel EVER not just in world competition and why is he so focused on tonyas triple when midori did it first??
Because Tonya was an American. Who also became the subject of a huge scandal.
Because tonya’s was more we’ll known. Don’t be upset with the dude. He probably didn’t write the script for the video, he was just doing his job.
He literally never implied Tonya was the first ever. He specifically said American. Vox has a heavy American audience because they’re an American company.
Also, 3:54 because you apparently have the attention span of a potato
Because tonya was the first american
Hello! Please watch "I, Tonya" (if you haven't) because this says A LOT about Tonya Harding's backstory :) She has been through a lot, and yes maybe Midori did worked harder than her, but have you seen what Tonya has been through? She was raised from an abusive family where her mom forced her into skating and even went as far as to cancel her education. Following this, she ran away from home to live with her ex-husband only to know that he was abusive as well towards her. Also, if this wasn't disheartening enough, she got caught in a scandal where she is partly guilty for wanting to send death threat letters however she never planned to hurt Nancy Kerrigan physically (and for this she was given a 3 year life sentence far worse than the main suspects themelves while also having her career being put to an end). So I want to ask you to please, give Tonya Harding a shot at being put to the spotlight because this is the only and last time she will ever be in it. I love Midori too! She's so amazing for pulling off the courage and determination to do the first ever triple axle, but yes I just want Tonya to be acknowledged as well :)
can someone explain to me why it's a big deal for an American to do it and no one talks about the women that were actually first?
ZAMBODIAN coming IN THE END OF THE VIDEO ITS GONA BE LOUD HEADPHONE USERs beware

Not all heros wear capes
Sid's BARBER Thanks!
its written Zamboni. It works by spraying water over the ice and freezing it to create a fresh new layer of ice. the more you know...

Really?
Did he just say Bruce Wayne and Batman are the same person??? *dislike*
Hesperus is Phosphorus, and so on...
I mean at least give a spoiler warning
Roman Maclay but they are?
That's ridiculous! I mean you never see them in the same room together, but that's because Bruce Wayne would never be caught dead in those seedy crime-filled alleys where Batman hangs out! I mean, not after what happened to his parents all those years ago on Crime Alley... RIP Thomas and Martha Wayne. Stop besmirching poor Bruce's good name with these nonsense accusations! The guy's just trying to make a difference in the world (and probably trying to set the world record for most women dated during lifetime)!
blasphemy I tell you!

I'm loving the figure skating focus! If people don't know how talented and powerful figure skaters are, they should now!
meh, this foucs comes and goes every 4 years
It’s not the issue of understanding the talent, it’s about having interest in the activity in general. I have no real interest in a triple axel or anything about figure skating in general, but I don’t deny the fact that those figure skaters have talent or tons of hours of practice. I tried figure skating, it’s bloody tough. Yeah if I kept at it I would have been good by now but it just wasn’t my thing. The sport doesn’t appeal to me, it’s just a meh.
I’m sure those people know that skaters have talent, they’re just not interested in the sport in general. It that could be said of a lot of other activities besides skating.
At least show us the original video first...
Who’s here after the quadruple axle was accomplished?
In other words, I, Tonya is an amazing movie and Margot Robbie deserves an Oscar for it.
Fadhil Ramadhani YES
Allison Janney will get the Supporting Actress Academy Award.
good movie, but she does not deserve it
Fadhil Ramadhani yes!!!!! I hate how I, tonya didn't get as much hype!! It's a beautiful movie

Looks like she was screeeeeetching

ne0 ge0 Yeah same here,I was not into figure skating then and a teenager so I've always had s terrible impression of her.
If you have to watch a movie to more more about her than just her crime, then she obviously isn't known for much outside of that
SisterAreDoingIt ForThemselves Actually when my dad broke his shoulder (fractured in four different areas) he didn't feel the pain of his shoulder, only the black eye he had gotten, he hadn't even noticed his arm was broken until he tried to move his arm and it felt numb. My brother broke his leg, split right down the middle of the bone and he hadn't felt anything, he couldn't walk on it but he never screamed in pain, only told the guy that tackled him that it was a good hit.
And then we have Yuzuru Trying a Quad Axel.
Guess if triple is historical... I understand the hype of ilia malinin being Quadgod ✌️👏👏
Mr Gorbachev HADOOKEN this wall
Explain yourself
Mr Valo FINISH HIM !! ^^
ValoTheBrute u rang?
its at 0:16
so because it's stupid hard ?
I had a similar response: "So... why is it such a big deal? It's not like figure skating is an easy sport in the first place. And doesn't the technique and caliber of athletes competing on international levels increase every decade anyways?"
Exactly. This video basically says, "it's a very hard and risky move to do in a competition..." In a very slooooooow 5 minutes. They didn't even show the whole move in regular speed and that annoyed me.
Oekuez bro I was waiting for the move I regular motion the whole time too...
For women, yes.
It's hard for males as well, but now men are doing jumps with four rotations:
Quad toe loop
Quad salchow
Quad loop
Quad flip
Quad lutz
No one was landed a quad axel however,
Meanwhile my ass can’t even hold myself up when I’m trying to ice skate
Since a quad axel has now been landed (and landed beautifully) someone needs to do study on the only skater that can land it

Also I have youtube content too. Just saying
So proud of Mirai for landing the triple axel at the Olympics!!
Ok but have you seen Yuzuru Hanyu's triple axel tho
i guess it's just more difficult for girls? idk.
Most guys can do it, probably because they just have stronger legs. It's a lot harder for girls, that's why it's really extraordinary when someone does it.
Guys evolutionarily have more brute strength so yeh, but I wouldn't say "most guys can do it" 😂

Achim Titus Watch Hanyu. He has the best 3A in the world, with the most difficult entries and exits.
What happen was sooo wrong to Nancy. But after seeing tonya’s movie... it really shows sooo much insight to what she was going through her whole life.
Yes it does, but honestly most people who commit or conspire in such acts had some kind of poor upbringing. Also keep in mind, this was Tonya telling the story through her own filter. Grain of salt is somewhat required.
I landed my double axel in competition the same day that tonya landed her triple axel on the 1991 worlds, excatly 30 years.
Im a roller figure skater so a double axel is a big deal since each skate weights almost 2 kg, the most dificult jump ever landed is actually the triple axel, by only 3 men
Way to go!
Wow
Midori Ito had the best triple Axels. They were high, well-centered and seemed to float in the air. Watch her triple Axel at the 1990 World Championship in Halifax, or the one she did at the 1990 NHK Championships. Spectacular. To me, she was the best women’s jumper in figure skating.
First ever woman to land a triple axel in a world completion: Midori Ito 🇯🇵
First ever woman to land a quadruple jump: Miki Ando 🇯🇵
First ever American woman to land a triple axel in a word completion: Tonya Harding 🇺🇸
First ever woman to land three triple axels in one program: Mao Asada 🇯🇵
First ever American woman to land a triple axel in the Olympics: Mirai Nagasu🇯🇵🇺🇸
agree. Midori did a perfect triple axel in 1990 in Halifax and in 1993 and 1994 as
a pro.
"Tonya Harding, my star"
Ocean too bad she’s a crazy ass criminal!
"With a Crowbar"
Just saying the evidence is there, just saying
Its from a song
P A R I G O N 0w0
You could argue there’s enough evidence to say that almost anyone close to her did it.
I wonder how many female skaters can do a triple axle reliably well when using a jump harness?
Gracie Gold was doing it on harness last season!
Well, it's not really gonna help her much now, is it?
98
Yet Yuzuru did triple Axel like it was so easy
Umm...A movie by Australian actress, Margo Robbie, came out 3 weeks prior to this video, hence this American reporter from the American publication, "Voxx" talking about American, Tonya Harding, and her triple axel.
Funny now with Ilia‘s Quad axel
Midori Ito is the first and still the best triple axle by a woman
first, yes. the best? i wouldn't say so. the girls just keep getting better and better with their jumping technique as time goes on.

Top 10 anime super powers
Rock Matt superpower theory
Rock Matt I was in tears laughing!
And now the quad axel has finally been done. Well done Ilia
Tonya was the first and she was powerful . Her mum pushed her to be the best . Her husband Jeff lived from her money and ruined her carrier with planing the attack . Sad for her . She was so good .
here after watching Ilia land a 4A, it’s so cool to see the progression in skating!!

Hey guys, i would love to do some Brazilian Portuguese subtitles for your videos, how can i?
Nani!??!!

+blackice7317 "you're new demonic gel"? WTF?
Omae wa mo waratte-iru.

XD I was a little off
Nani means what
The triple axel is no longer such a big deal, due to boundaries being pushed. The Quad axel has now become the jump to shoot for.
Not for women.
Harding is by far the best skater of her era and never got her due. Go Tanya!
Quad axle was just completed!
Who saw I, Tonya
Me
Was it good? It had Margot Robbie.
Erik P.T.
It's a good black comedy. Allison Janney will win the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award. It won't change your opinion of Tonya, but it will change how you feel about Tonya.
Elevens Eggos Great friggin movie!!!
Erik P.T. Yes a very good movie. I recommend it
Scientists say this breaks the laws of physics.
Figure skaters: *lemme just prove that wrong*
The Barbie thing was a lil weird too me, but thumbs 👍🏽 to the video. FYI I’m high asf legal

This is interesting to see, now that the quad axel has been done in competition!
Me: it's 3 am i should sleep (know nothing about figure skating)
Brain: watch Why the triple axel is such a big deal
Think it'd be loud if a zamboni came while filming?
Have and have not
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I love that he used Barbie as a model :D
I literally learned all of this after watching I, Tonya hehe
I don't believe the movie mentions Midori Ito being the first woman to land a triple axel, before Tonya. What a surprise.
E - probs cuz it was literally about this one person and not even half focused on the triple axel
The movie isn't called Tonya Harding and the History of the Triple Axel
