Except that she performed a double loop also so too many jumping passes. It's also way too long to be a short program. I agree with your sentiment, but it's apples and oranges in comparison...
Dare I say it. Best triple axel ever done by a woman. Ever. Even for her that was extraordinarily stupendous. And OMG how cute was she when she started cheering her own 10’s?! You can’t not love her. So charming 😍😍😍
Can I just say that whoever wrote the script for that intro fluff together with the Henry VIII music was so good and really tugged at my heart as it captured exactly the heartbreaking disappointment Midori felt when she had to appologize to her country for what happened in Albertville.
I love Midori! If only those darn compulsory figures had been eliminated so much sooner during her career. I can't help thinking about all the world championships she would have won! And honestly she deserved the gold in 1988 - I was so over the Battle of the Carmens!
@@JYoder The problem was they began phasing out figures way too late. Only began in 73 after Schuba was booed for winning competitions over better free skaters like Janet Lynn, Karen Magnussen and others. They couldn't get rid of them right away, so it took 18 years of gradual phasing out. They needed to begin a lot sooner than they did.
Stop with the comparison both kristi and midori are great figure skaters i know people love drama. A professional figure skaters life is short. Most retire by 30s. I love the fact she still competes at age 50. That's how you'll know how much someone loves and passionate about something. My 7 years old daughter is a figure skater and loves both ladies and mao asada. 💗💗❤❤💖💖
It is impossible to say. She would have had a ton of pressure again, and we saw what happened in 92, and then in 96 it was even worse. All you can say is she definitely could have won gold if she skated to her potential, especialy as Biaul and Kerrigan are easier competition than Kristi, but there is still no way of knowing what would happen with all the pressure she would be under.
@@sargeminus1727 If Midori skated clean, it did not matter who she skated against, Kristie, Nancy, Oksana, Tonya, Midori would win. Problem was she was the premier athlete in Japan and the Japanese media would have hounded her again in Lilihammer like they did in Albertville. Besides it did not pay for Midori to stay amateur. Pro skating was doing very well at this time. She turned pro and beat Kristie in the 1993 world professional championship. MIdori had lived with her coach for many years. I am sure at her young age of 22 after Albertville, she wanted to be independent and start making money. Turning pro made a great deal of sense for her.
As Toller Cranston said in Midori's 1990 Halifax World's LP, "there is simply nobody like her, she is beyond 6.0, nobody is in this league". She showed it again with this incredible performance. And anyone who thinks Tonya's 3A is close to Midori's, think again. No lady, to this date sep 16 2018, comes close to performing a triple axel like Midori.
I think Kihari now has the next best triple axel after Midori. I still prefer Midori's for its amazing power. Tonya was a spectacular jumper but I didnt like her triple axel that much, it always had an ugly lean even when she landed it clean, which is probably one reason she usually missed it. I much prefer Tonya's other jumps like triple lutz, triple flip, and triple loop to her triple axel.
@@sargeminus1727 Rika does have a beautiful triple axel. And now Alysa Liu at 12 years old has landed a triple axel at the Asian open which is international competition. I don't know if any lady will ever perform a triple axel like Midori. Her power, speed, height, reckless abandon is unmatched. I do agree with you about Tonya's triple axel, great power but that terrible tilt which usually caused her to fall on it. Still Tonya was a strong skater . I remember Scott Hamilton saying at the Albertville Olympics that Tonya was the 2nd best technical skater in the world after Midori.
@@lsrasr158 Scott was fairly decent in his commentary towards Harding, even while it was clear he was not a fan of her style, he still respected her talent. Until after the Kerrigan clubbing. In Lillehammer he showed plain disgust in his commentary on her, and anytime he talked about her after. Granted she showed up in Lillehammer in horrible shape and skating nowhere near as well as even the 94 Nationals which was the best she had looked since late 91, so there wasnt a lot positive to say, but I think he also considered her a criminal (probably correctly) and was disgusted by her by then.
@@lsrasr158 The crazy thing is if Harding had been trained for the 92 Games and skated like she did at 91 Skate America, minus the silly double axel fall in the short which is easily fixable, she probably would have won gold in Albertville. Both Yamaguchi and Ito were subpar and made major errors, even Kristi in the long not only missed the salchow (like usual) but the loop as well. Had Harding skated like 91 Skate America, it would be almost impossible to not give her the gold. Then she could have either gone pro, or already been rich, and the whole ridiculousness of 94 and the Kerrigan clubbing never happens now. 94 she was never really considered a contender anymore, despite that the field was weaker in 92. She just wasnt considered a top skater anymore. 92 was her big chance, 94 she never had much of a prayer even without the clubbing.
@@sargeminus1727 I personally think if all the top skaters at Albertville skated their best, Midori would have won gold, Tonya would have won silver (or Kristi) and then bronze to Kristi (or Tonya). Midori skated beautifully and won the Lalique tourney at Albertville a few months before the 92 Olympics. I read that when Midori arrived in Albertville she was doing 3A-3T in practices (there are videos of it), which Tonya could not do. But the Japanese media onslaught wore her down and the Surya Bonaly backflip almost hitting her the day of the SP, broke her concentration and she fell on the triple lutz, a jump she has done hundreds of times, killing her chances at gold. I don't know why Tonya did not properly train for Albertville. Was she upset with Dodi her coach, don't know. Scott loved Tonya at 1991 skate america comparing her to Midori and saying Tonya was the only woman in the world who could compete jump for jump with Midori. There is a video interview of Scott talking about the rise and fall of figure skating in the 90's. He blames figure skating's fall from popularity on the Tonya Nancy incident. Watch it. Also search in youtube "Midori Tonya". you will see a video of Tonya talking about Midori's skating at the lalique tourney and why Tonya did not compete at this tourney, which was probably a big mistake on her part being so close to the albertville olympics.
None of the women who do triple axels now get that much height...I feel like the bone of the women really explode off the ice anymore like Modori and Tonya used to do.
This makes me upset. Roslynn Somners, Debi Thomas, Michelle Kwan, Nancy Kerrigan all won olympic medals. I hate when fluff pieces make a silver or bronze medals like losers. Midori earned that silver medal it wasn't handed to her.
17年経ってもまだこのトリプルアクセルを超える衝撃に出会えていないことは、本当に本当に凄いことだと思います。
なんて綺麗でパワーを感じるジャンプ。凄く自然な…無理に勢いをつけた感じが全くしない。天才だったんだね。
みどりさんのトリプルアクセルを1988年のNHKトロフィーにて生観戦したのが昨日のようです。スピード、高さ、幅プラス身体のキレ。あの3Aが彼女のキャリア最高の3Aでした。東ドイツの元選手、ヤン・ホフマンが6・0を出しました。1990年のFPの3Aは洗練されたジャンプではありましたが、89年の衝撃的なジャンプは忘れられません。まさにレジェンド。そして、何より愛らしい選手でした。
オリンピック後のみどりさん、フィギュアスケート愛に溢れてて華がありますね！😆かっこいい‼️
ダイナミック！
この年になって、初めてこの方のスケートの凄さが分かりました。
もっと、出てきて欲しい！
金メダル値する演技です！3Aから着地時みどりさんの表情が最高！誰でも出来ないこの高さの3A！
最初の3A本当にため息出る、もはや竜巻。
現役時代のプレッシャーから開放され、本来のみどりちゃんのノビノビとした演技が戻ってきた試合。
弾ける笑顔が素敵❤
トリプルアクセルの高さが半端じゃないです。みどりちゃんは永遠のレジェンド。
かわいい。みどりさん大好き。
誰も真似できないダイナミックさ。思い切り飛んで思い切り回って、豪快。永遠に語り継がれる人です。
スロー再生でもその高さを確かめずにいられないストップモーションでした。
3A, 3Lz, 3T-3T... This program could easily win the SP at the World championships in 2024 😮
Except that she performed a double loop also so too many jumping passes. It's also way too long to be a short program. I agree with your sentiment, but it's apples and oranges in comparison...
真央ちゃん紀平さんと3Aが受け継がれて遂にロシアの子がこの前優勝した時の3A見たら、スピード、高さ、幅、美しさ完璧や！と思って久方振りに伊藤みどりの3A観に来たけど、やっぱみどり凄エェっ！て。
何回も見た事あるのに改めて見ても魅入ってしまう。
スケーティング？ステップ？とにかく滑りが音にマッチしてカッコ良くて気持ち良い。
豪快で綺麗やわ。
オープニングで光と影の影、そして咲くことのなかった花とか紹介されて悔しい思いをした後にこの完璧なスケートで光と言われた人に勝利。みどりさんこそ光！
現役時代は評価されてなかったけど、この方の表現、スピンやステップの美しさは今の現役選手でもなかなか敵わないと思う。ジャンプは言うに及ばずですね。こんなトリプルルッツを飛べる選手、いないよ〜 今も見られて幸せです♪
This was the greatest female figure skater of that era. If she were in her prime today, she’d be landing quads!
みどりさん
天才!!!!
今出てきても
金メダル取れます❗
ジャンプもスピードもやけど何より
キャラが好き
息もつかせぬ疾風のような全力疾走のスピード、高い高いジャンプ、前人未到の高い高いトリプルアクセル、フライングシットスピン、そして優雅なステップ・・・スケートを滑る悦びが愛らしい人の形になった、まさしくフィギュアの女神が伊藤みどりさんという才能と努力の天才の登場を待ち構えて、その姿をかりて降臨した！！素晴らしい、スケーティングの悦び、スピード、肢体の芸術。佐藤ゆかさん、荒川静香さん、安藤美姫さん、中野友加里さん、浅田真央さん、それに切れることなく続く才能豊かな若人のひとびと、みなすばらしい・・・・。けれども、個人的には、そのすべての源泉が伊藤みどりさんに由来しており、伊藤みどりさんを超えた人はいまだにいないと信じます！！！
クリスティの表情がたまらない(笑)
翌年位の動画では終始笑顔で伊藤みどりを観ていたけれど、
この動画では「なんだコイツ、そこまで跳ぶなよ!!」位の目で観てましたよね。
好い人だ。
凄すぎる！
One of my favorite programs from her. Gives me goosebumps.
One thing I've always admired about Midori is that she seems to be very humble and down to earth. She was very cute in that interview.
今でも、あのときのオリンピック、普通にやっていたら勝てたのに！
しかも圧勝でしょうと悔やむ(笑)
大好きなスケーターさん。そして、見てスカッとする演技❤
And no other woman still hasn't done a 3A like her!
Dare I say it. Best triple axel ever done by a woman. Ever. Even for her that was extraordinarily stupendous.
And OMG how cute was she when she started cheering her own 10’s?! You can’t not love her. So charming 😍😍😍
Thé Legend female skater of all time
点数見たみどりさんの反応が彼女が海外で受け入れられる理由だと思う。
このトリプルアクセルは1990年のハリファクスの世界選手権で決めたものに匹敵する完璧なジャンプだった。
トリプルループが決まっていれば、全員10点出していたかも。
やっぱりこの高揚感を与えてくれるのは彼女だけです。
That smile is so infectious!!! Iconic!!
She has an amazing command of the triple axel!
midoriさんは解説が下手くそだとか、ジャンプの名前を間違えたとか周囲方々が彼女の解説に否定的なことを言ってあまり起用されないのか本人が出演したくないのか不明ですが、彼女の解説がほとんど聴く機会がなくなり残念です。荒川静香さんも苦労してあそこまでたどり着いた方で選手の心情などを語れるのでまあいいとは思います、八木沼さんの解説はジャンプやスピン名をハイライトしていうだけで解説というような感じは受けず、伊藤みどりさんをもっと起用してほしい。彼女は天才。他のスケーター、世界のスケーターに彼女に近い人は今でもいらっしゃらない。海外でもそう言われています、米国の解説でもジャンプといえば。。ミドリねーと懐かしく言ってますしね。彼女の気取りのない解説と伊藤みどりという存在を無視するべきではない。彼女のジャンプ力は男性と同じ筋肉を持たないとできないと言われています。もっと解説に出てほしいわ。
不世出の名選手であったことと、技術的な解説がきちんと出来るかどうかは別じゃない？
私のようなバカ猿が見ても分かる安藤美姫の4Sを3Sと言い張ったのはダメだった。
erika morseさん
意見をうかがって2つ感動しました。
1つ目、
伊藤みどりは誰からも愛されていますよね。私も大好きです。言葉にすれば一晩掛かっても言い尽くせないくらいに。
それを貴方は実に端的に的確にに表現してくれました。
とても素敵な事です。
2つ目、
解説やメディアでの使われ方に関してです。こちらにも的確な意見を仰っている。
仰る通りだと思います。
私見ですが、
多分解説はご本人が嫌がっていると思いますよ。「技術解説が下手」なのではなく、「空気読むのが好きじゃない=解説が下手」なのだと思います。
伊藤みどりがキムヨナの解説をするシーンをイメージするだけで、ご飯三杯食べられそうな感じじゃないですか。(ジジイの世代の言回しでスミマセン)
テレビ局も利益考えずに本放送の解説は荒川静香に任せて、副音声で伊藤、八木沼、浅田にお菓子を食べながらの雑談解説を流して欲しいのが私の本音です。
絶対にやらないだろうが間違いなく面白いですよ。
本当なら伊藤みどり程のレジェンドはもっともっと大切に扱わなければならないのに、日本人は何をしているのか？
まぁ子供相手に指導する表情も素敵なので、伊藤みどりはどんな環境でも『伊藤みどり』なんですよね。
みどりは天才だから、自由にすればいい。解説など無用。
なんかオープニングすごくカッコよくない⁈

She could’ve easily won the 1990 worlds as well as medal in Calgary had it not been for CF (although she was very underscored in Calgary)
@@mht4908 I agree! F CF!!! Who cares about clean edges and patterns!!!! ISU was so messed up back then!!!!

i miss the drama of the introduction/fluff of this competition...this era alone midori-kristi...ugh ..those were the days..

If you think about it it is really sad how midori did not win
Itorable!
love this music and Ito she is amazing!
one of the best coreography and music!
The music is Rose of Pain by X Japan
BeliaMadHatter a masterpiece
She would've won gold in Lillehammer!!
