Check out that moment at 4:45 when she goes from one spiral position to another, right with the music... took my breath away. There will never be another Midori Ito!
I loved this, it was one of my favorite exhibition routines ever. I just thought the idea was brilliant, to do Singin in the Rain, then Over the Rainbow, & I loved the costumes
I never appreciate Midori at the time because I was such a die-hard fan of Kristi. But Midori was irresistibly adorable and charming. Say what you will about her artistry, she had a magnetic quality only few skaters can ever manage. I love the costumes!
This lady makes me SOOO happy! "She's going to jump with that umbrella!" Yes my thoughts exactly haha. Would anyone explain why she was doing two rounds? The last one with On My Own song.
Wina B - there is a jpn tv version of this skate. On it, after Midori completes over the rainbow and leaves the ice, the audience keeps clapping wanting a curtain call. Midori must have been prepared for this so she changed costumes and came back on the ice to perform the On My Own number.
clo martin - In 1991 would not call Tonya better than Kristi a joke. Tonya was a better technical skater, beating Kristie at Nationals and Skate America. At the Albertville Olympics, Scott Hamilton said Tonya was the 2nd best technical skater in the world after Midori. Kristie was a more polished, artistic skater then Tonya. When Tonya was on, she was more entertaining than Kristie and Nancy. Unfortunately, Tonya went downhill after 1991.
She really was very impressive, however, I think Tonya was way more artistic than her. Tonya skated with more passion, Midori had great speed, but it really looked more about jumping as opposed to any artistic impression.
+cj90 Not really, her '94 Olympics was quite emotional, and i don't only mean because she had a mishap and cried, i feel the performance expressed the strain she was under leading up to that year. except instead of it being a golden moment, it was a nightmare. still pulled it off well.
Seeing more of Midori's performances now, you are right, i was mistaken in saying Tonya was more artistic. Tonya had some of the biggest potential to be an all around star, more than any of the skaters of the era! thats waht i see in her. But yes, Midori's '92 Olympic program was beautiful, and was written off as more athletic. Kristi just had the favor all around.*****
フィギュアスケート史上最高のスケーターはみどりさんです。
現役のころはもちろん
２０２３年のスケーティングをみて、
またあらためてこの演技をみて
確信しました。
みどりさんがいまのところ 史上最高のスケーターです。
この演技を見れた人は幸せだな。
このプログラムめっちゃ大好き！リアタイで観てました‼️
みどりさんのスケートはみんなを笑顔に、幸せにしてくれますね。何度観てもあきることがありません！何度でも観たくなる。技術だけじゃなく本当に唯一無二の、魅力的なスケーターです✨✨✨
氷の上も観客席も全部みどりちゃんのものでした！とにかく圧巻 とにかくチャーミング！
見て 見てーってより わたし、今 楽しくて あなたも 楽しいと良いな～🎉って メッセージ❤
今見ても素晴らしい振り付け。
傘持ったままジャンプとか、人間離れした美しいパフォーマンス✨✨
軽快な振り付けで、傘を両手に持ったままのジャンプや、軸のぶれない芸術的なスピンなどで魅了したと思ったら、バックヤードに駆け込んで早着替えして走りもどって、体幹が要のスローテンポの曲を、指先まで美しく制御して、高いジャンプ入れながら踊りきる。驚異のスタミナ。
傘を持ってジャンプって凄すぎる！！！タノジャンプの先駆け！！😉❤️😉✨👍
このエキシビション好き過ぎてビデオで何十回と観てました😂✨✨
2:32 エキシビションでさりげなくやっているが、傘(物)を持っての、ジャンプ、実は無茶苦茶難しい、っていうのを聞いた事あります。
歳をとって最近TH-camで、色々楽しめる事を覚えました。
特に、フィギュアスケートの
伊藤みどりさんに、はまっております。３０年も前の映像ですが
本当に、素晴らしい人だったんだと、改めて感動して居ります。
日本人の誇りです。
スマホを開けば、みどりさんの
演技を観てしまいます。😘
小柄な人なのに、リンク狭しと滑る姿が、大きく見えます。
楽しいです🎶
現在活躍している選手たちも、敵わない気がします。
雨に唄えば→Over the rainbow 雨が上がり、虹がでた。伝わりやすく楽しませてくれる
8:12の着氷音にしびれます。私にとって伊藤さんはジャンプやスピンの技術云々ではなく、フィギュアという表現媒体において孤高の存在です。芸術的なんです。何でこんな凄いアスリートが突然日本に現れたのか不思議なくらいです。
こんな柔らかい音、なかなか聞かないですね。
普通なら高いジャンプだと、ガリっ！と音がしても不思議ではないのですけれどね。
ジャンプ以外の部分でも、ガリっ！と音がしなかったので、現役時代に他の選手は何故ガリっ！と音がするの？と思ってました。
それが普通なんですが。
アンコール前に控室へ猛スピードでかけこみ？あっという間にリンクに戻ってきてさらりともう一曲演技するって凄すぎ…
２プログラムを演じる驚異のスタミナ。観客には大サービスだ。観客席がどよめいている。
伊藤みどりさんは表現力に欠けるって言った人誰？めちゃくちゃ可愛らしいじゃないの。
練習嫌いだと本人は話すけど
これだけサービス精神があって楽しげに滑り
そして今現在もシニアで現役なんだから
日本のフィギュアの源的存在なのかなぁ
スマイル後のvery！嬉しい
みんなから愛されていて本当に素晴らしい方です
まさしく THE LEGEND！！
素敵ですね。いつ見ても最高です。UPしてくれた方ありがとうございます。＾＾
Maybe she was silver in Albertville Olympics. But for me was gold. Midori Ito is really number one.
Thank you so much by japanese❤
I love watching her skate!
She's just wonderful. If I was a judge, you'd get gold!
Still my all time favorite ladies' figure skater!
みどりさんのスケート技術はもちろん、何より衣装のスタイルとセンスが良さすぎてビックリさせました。今の、華やかさを重視しすぎるスケート衣装と比べたらこっちのほうに心引かれてしまう。シンプルだけどしっかりセンスの良さが感じれると思います
ジャンプもさることながら、この人のリズム感とか音楽性も相当なものでは？彼女が音楽に合わせているのではなく、音楽が彼女に合わせているかのよう。
Oh, Midori! ❤❤❤
The Mozart of skating. Such a prodigy. An incredibly brilliant talent, and at the same time, a modest, wonderful person. Who could ask for more?
actually 60 minutes in a feature done on Midori in 1992 entitled "the tale of two Midoris" referred to her as the Michael Jordan of figure skating.
かわいいのう。
Great Midori!!!
傘両手に持ったままアクセルとか
ロンスカみたいなフリル着けて3回転とか
いちいち人間技じゃない
実はEXこそ伊藤みどりの真骨頂なのでは
Midori was a black pearl on the ice, so wonderful
Beautiful!
Check out that moment at 4:45 when she goes from one spiral position to another, right with the music... took my breath away. There will never be another Midori Ito!
04:45
Midori Ito is the most charming trailblazer❣️
I loved this, it was one of my favorite exhibition routines ever. I just thought the idea was brilliant, to do Singin in the Rain, then Over the Rainbow, & I loved the costumes
もっと伊藤みどりさんを讃えても良い気がします。 ジャンプ力ハンパねーっす
The time passes so fast ... I was 13 at the time ... :((((( Anyway I will never forget Midori on this GALA!!!!! Love her!!!
Midori did this same exhibition skate at the NHK Trophy in 1990. Both are beautifully done.
there are some skaters that may not be the favourite of everyone but are just charming and kind to the audience. Those are the skaters I love.
こういう凝った演出をしてくれるスケーターが最近は少ない気がします。ま、練習がシビアなだけに、エキシビに時間割いていられないんだろうけど…
When I was skating, I wanted this dress. : ) Midori, you're a pure soul and remain an inspiration.
And Rainsong4u, thanks for the song!
ジャネット リンを思い出しました。😀
最高
Wonderful 🎉 high speed even though excision
2:31 これすごくない？ 傘をもってるからうでの振りが全く使えない状況なわけで。
I think the costume suits the program perfectly!
傘持ったままの2Aもすごいけど、傘差したままのデスドロップも結構すごいと思うの…
今思えばこれが現役最後の演技だったんだよね。手先まで意識の行き届いた滑らかな演技で、表現力が無いと言われてた頃があったのが嘘のよう。
Midori Ito + musicals = I can die in peace
Miiii Doooo Riiii !
音楽が遅れて、みどりが小首を傾げた時の観客の反応が、どれだけ皆に好かれているか分かりますね。
何と言っても、当時は女子では出来なかった３Aを飛んだ時に、自分で拍手！
みどりの人柄あっての事ですね、普通だったら反感を買ってもおかしくないのに。
後20年、後70年過ぎても、彼女に並ぶ選手は出て来ない気がします。
高さ、幅、ジャンプ前のスピード、一つでも伊藤みどりに勝てる選手を待っています。
スケートしてた先生が、腕をあげたり降ろしたり物を持ってジャンプは恐ろしいと言ってました。
地上でやっても怖いのに本当に凄いとおもう。
なつかしいーーー！！
I never appreciate Midori at the time because I was such a die-hard fan of Kristi. But Midori was irresistibly adorable and charming. Say what you will about her artistry, she had a magnetic quality only few skaters can ever manage. I love the costumes!
これはオリンピックのエキシ
This lady makes me SOOO happy! "She's going to jump with that umbrella!" Yes my thoughts exactly haha.
Would anyone explain why she was doing two rounds? The last one with On My Own song.

Mine too!
Fortissima Brava
she was robbed of the gold in 1992.
no .................
本当、チャーミング♪
I wonder what she is doing now?
I still say her and Tonya were better than Kristi and Nancy. Just more entertaining
tonya better than kristi.....it s a joke
clo martin - In 1991 would not call Tonya better than Kristi a joke. Tonya was a better technical skater, beating Kristie at Nationals and Skate America. At the Albertville Olympics, Scott Hamilton said Tonya was the 2nd best technical skater in the world after Midori. Kristie was a more polished, artistic skater then Tonya.

Exhibition
Yeah...I never liked Kristi...
She really was very impressive, however, I think Tonya was way more artistic than her. Tonya skated with more passion, Midori had great speed, but it really looked more about jumping as opposed to any artistic impression.
+955pokerface lol. Tonya had zero emotional capacity. As cold as ice!
+cj90 Not really, her '94 Olympics was quite emotional, and i don't only mean because she had a mishap and cried, i feel the performance expressed the strain she was under leading up to that year. except instead of it being a golden moment, it was a nightmare. still pulled it off well.
+955pokerface I meant emotional/artistic. Being stressed isn't artistic.
+cj90 You're right, Midori does have more choreo and classic style than Tonya did, i just felt Tonya looked more passionate in some of her movements.
Seeing more of Midori's performances now, you are right, i was mistaken in saying Tonya was more artistic. Tonya had some of the biggest potential to be an all around star, more than any of the skaters of the era! thats waht i see in her. But yes, Midori's '92 Olympic program was beautiful, and was written off as more athletic. Kristi just had the favor all around.*****
