- Update: Alena Kostoronaia and Young You have now successfully landed their triple axels in international competition!
------------------------------------------
*Please note that this is not a complete list, it's just all the footage I was able to find, and obviously I didn't include every 3A ever done by these ladies. For example, many more Japanese ladies have trained the 3A and even landed it in domestic competition, including Yuhana Yokoi, Hana Yoshida, and Mana Kawabe.
**There are probably many more attempts done in national competitions, it's just much harder to find that information.
***Also, some of the ladies in the "practice" section have attempted 3As in competition at some point, but I couldn't find footage of it. Gulyakova tried a 3A at the 2019 Dragon Trophy but it was underrotated. You Young has also tried it in some domestic Korean competitions.
****Lastly, Dmitrieva's 3A was technically done in a competition, in the "elements" portion of a Russian domestic comp. - Sport

Kostornaya did it in officials, if I'm not mistaken. Not only in practice.

Tonya and Midori both stick the landing well, but tonya’s face when she first landed it in that blue-green costume always makes me cry
Andrea Jamieson what’s wrong with it?
@@adriana-ll3zd she's so happy she landed she just about bursts into tears. you can see better on the full video of her doing it. it makes me cry as well
It’s so sad because she was told her life she could never do it, she was nothing but “trailer trash” compared to the perfect competition. Constantly marked down for presentation. At that single moment everything was perfect, she was able to say that she was the best at something and you can see it on her face.
I love it to she is so stocked and she has the biggest smile on her face after that and she was on fire that day
Midori what happened to those folks. Her Jumps were so High no questions about her cleaning those jumps with another rotation to go Quads!
what did we learn from this? apparently the japanese are great at landing triple axels
This is because they're perfectly built for holding their weight during multiturn jumps
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Except asada mao het triple alxels cheating jump
they`re just great in every jump
은찬이 shut up yuna bot
Midori will always have the most legendary triple axel imo. She gets so high up it's like she's literally flying across the rink. Mao's was always very pretty, and she needs to be commended for the longevity of hers as well!
Mao WAS commented for the longevity of her 3A! The video tells she's holds the record as the woman with the most 3As landed internationally! The 3A was a staple to Mao's skating for full 10 years!
@@piznoctsauo8141 I know, I watched the video, I was just stating my general opinion on women's 3A's in general.
ayanna I saw Midori Ito complete a triple axel at an ice skating show once. You are right, absolutely legendary. Not only did it look like she was flying, the height she got was unlike any other skater I have ever seen. I swear she could have jumped right over another skater, that’s how high it was!
Same as Tonya
I was going to say I thought Maos was pretty to watch. I like Midoris as well. Nothing against Tonya but hers looked tilted more,but may be that's how it's suppose to look.
Midori's 3A is absolutely beautiful. Tonya got that height as well but her axis always seemed to go off course. Legendary women though.
tonyas in air position is terrifying lmao i recoiled each time instinctively because i thought she was going down
Wow... So many professionals on CZcams!
Did u use my toothbrush? What I was bout to say cuz half the words they saying I don’t understand
Yes, Midori and Tonya were simply in another league. But Tonya was not as consistent with her triple axel as Midori was, although Tonya did have a Midori-like period with such consistency in her triple axel, and that was in 1991.
Midori had this over Tonya in almost every jump. Midori was always in perfect position in the air. Tonya starts to tilt on her way down on every triple but it didn’t affect the others. Midori’s is hands down the best in history. My second favorite was Nagasu’s at the Olympics although a one off really doesn’t give you bragging rights.
Midori Ito was and will always be the queen of the triple axel. I applaud all these ladies for doing such a difficult jump, it's truly amazing.
Completely unrelated to skating, but I love your profile pic
@@amandastevens1117 thank you!!
Apparently they land with like up to 500 pounds of force because of momentum. My ankles would just snap lol
Come on. About the "always be" part. If you saw how Sofia Akatieva was landing it recently..
iluvbluecookies97 love ur profile pic, we stan pretty odd
Midori Ito for her incredible height, Mao Asada for having the most aesthetically pleasing ones.
I think the extremely height, full rotation and "vibrance" are keys to make a 3A "pleasant to watch". I think both Midori and Tonya had that height and vibrancy. But Midori's leg position and Tonya's WILD axis made them look like there was something wrong.
Which one is my favorite. That's easy. Midori hands down. No one to this day (June 29 19) has performed a better triple axel. Her triple axel at the 1990 worlds LP in Halifax was so incredible that the UK and Canadian commentators said it was probably the best triple axel in the competiton including the men. Her triple axel at Albertville in 92 at the 3 minute 10 second mark of a 4 minute LP was so unbelievable that the olympic channel honored it as an impossible moment at the olympic games. Midori is the greatest technical skater ever and the queen of the triple axel. If she was in her prime today, she would be landing quads.
I read somewhere that she actually tried to do a quad but when she decided not to train it because she noticed that her body (leg or ankle, can't remember exactly) wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of landing
@@schlagsahne394 I saw a japanese video a while ago with english subtitles where Midori was being interviewed and talking about her 1988 to 1992 years. I think she said she had attempted triple axels and perhaps quads at 14 or 15 but had fractured her ankle. Her coach, Machiko Yamada who Midori lived with, then forbid Midori attempting them. She then said that when she only finished 5th in Calgary with all the triples she did vs. what Katarina did in winning the gold, she decided she had to introduce the triple axel into her skating to win on the international stage. It is amazing how quickly she did it. She barely missed landing a clean 3A at the 1988 skate america, she then landed the 3A at a home town event before landing it internationally at the 1988 NHK.
@@lsrasr158 oh yeah, the fractured ankle must have been it
@@lsrasr158 is figure skating really that big here in Canada? (I mean events, like I see that a lot of them take place in Canada)
@@alexmini123 Canada having a cold winter (will hit -20 c in February) is big on winter sports. Ice Hockey is the biggest. Figure skating is very big in Canada. We have had world champions (Kurt Browning, Elvis Stoijko, Kaetlyn Osmond,) olympic medalists (elizabeth manley, karen magnussen, elvis, tessa virtue & scott moir, kaetlyn, jamie sale & David Pellitier). Kristi Yamaguchi of U.S. 92 olympic gold medal winner trained in Canada. Two winter olympics held in Canada (Calgary 1988, Vancouver 2010).
Here's me. Can't even stand up in a pair of roller skates.😂
From what I can tell, Ice skating is way easier than rollerblading. Probably because you aren't constantly rolling, and can walk normally in ice skates
Twitching Sparrow i do roller skating as a sport many thinks are just like the ice version but i can’t do one axel and those jump 3😂😅
Twitching Sparrow oh my...no....just no. 🤦🏿♀️
I can barely move forward 😅😅😅
@@twitchingsparrow282 really? ,I thought it was even tougher Bcuz of the blades .
Tonya, has always been my favorite.
her story is so sad :((
@@iammiikael she never really had a chance...
@@iammiikael if you read the actual facts of the case (she wrote down the details of the crime in her own handwriting and attempted to dispose of it) instead of just watching her one-sided movie story, you won't feel so "sad" for her.
headphonic8 I still do.
Stacy Telle yes yes I am with u
Midori Ito, the first and still the best. Mao definitely deserves praise as well for longevity and aesthetic appeal, her 3A always looked very snappy and precise. Rika’s is getting better over time. And Liza deserves all the credit in the world for wrestling that jump back after so many seasons, amazing.
Mao Asada was really the one who figured it all out. She was the first skater whose triple axels were actually clean, consistent and fully formed. Very underrated skater.
She definitely got the ball rolling
Midori Ito was, not Mao Asada. Know your figure skating history.
@@troyaturner1979 theyre saying mao did it consistently for many years, thus figuring the jump out. midori had a huge 3a but was nevertheless inconsistent
Mao’s entrance to the jump and the jump itself is so beautiful.
Good effort from all these skaters but Midori Ito truly is the best jumper in the history of ladies’ figure skating. Although some people might think the other skaters included in this clip have so-called “cleaner” position in the air, I would beg to differ. Most of the other skaters (sole exception being Tanya Harding) learned to execute this jump by relying on really tight turns to complete the 3.5 rotation, as opposed to powerful take off. Consequently, most of them lack height and distance. Midori’s triple axel has the most height and distance because of her athleticism and how she takes off. Tanya arguably managed to get the same height, but she couldn’t quite match the distance because Tanya’s technique somehow would cause her to lean out out of the axis and backwards,, which forced her to have to re-center her body and subsequently lose the momentum to create good distance. Midori on the other hand is good at keeping her body position either centered or at least leaning forward (instead of backwards), Ultimately Midori pole vaults her triple axel, while the rest hopped and twisted their bodies into a pencil.
Coming back after 3 years, Alexandra Trusova is the best jumper in figure skating history
@@makaelaischillinshe doesn't have a good technique
It was told that you lose triple axels when you have a growth spurt, that’s what happened to both Liza and Alena, but what’s amazing about Liza is she’s starting to get her 3A back into her arsenal and has improved it to be cleaner than ever! She’s a true fighter in ice
Midori has the best triple axel and she’s still uncontested for me!
Liza landed 3 triple axels cleanly in SP+FS 2 days ago in Moscow at the pre-competition test runs as a part of her new program.
Well looks like Alena’s 3A is back again as well
Ertise I knew Alena would get her 3A back!
Midori has so much height in all of her jumps which is why when she does the triple axel she appears to almost float in midair. It’s truly a breathtaking sight to behold. Tonya’s triple axel’s always look so powerful that i can almost feel the force of the jump through the screen. These women were trailblazers for what athleticism is in figure skating. Not a single person can take away their titles of being firsts.
Just because I absolutely adore Mao, I'm going to throw in some more incredible records she has accomplished with the triple axel.
1. Was the youngest lady to do the triple axel (bested by Rika now)
2. Is the oldest lady to do the triple axel
3. Is the only lady to have completed the triple axel in two separate olympics
4. First woman to land a triple axel in the short program at the Winter Olympics
5. First woman to land two triple axel jumps in the same program
There is so much more to this tremendously talented (and in my eyes, slightly underrated) athlete than the axel, her signatures also includes her intricate stepsequences, spirals, and one hand biellmans.
Hanting Chen yer she absolutely underrated. Poor girls , why they aint know Mao is queen?
@@vxdkx ummm actually she just aint olympic gold that is only thing she cant compare to Yuna Kim. And actually both Yuna and Mao are truly genius of genius with out one of them the other one will never be like now.
And most of all Yuna isnt the best. I think she has some lack point too like everyone and if you compare both you will know that their style , teachnic , passion , will are totally different like 2 sides of mirror so if you ask me , you have eyes you MUST how great Mao is.
Like yuna and her lutz, Mao and the axel
Like Mao's flutz and Yuna stiffness body
SAME
that why rivalry is the best era. Mao and Yuna's mirror effect make them look like twin and when the game begin its a doom!
I thinks its cuz she was so mean to Yuna. Her jealously of Yuna was wayyy over the top
Then ony lol what!? It aint make sense anymore.
Mao's stepsequence in fs during sochi olympics was outstanding
体の変化もありながら10年もトリプルアクセル飛び続けた真央ちゃんすごい
Mao’s triple axels are perfection , so tidy and elegant , she makes them look effortless
Tonya's first competition landing will always be my favorite to watch, but Midori gets such incredible height in hers, it's amazing
joining those saying that Midori Ito's 3A is still the greatest after all those years. While there are many things to appreciate about most of these ladies' axels (Rika's is tight and has fantastic flow and speed coming out, Mao's is light and airy, Liza has rock-solid technique ), Midori reaches a height and distance that are unsurpassed to this day. It's mind-boggling how high she gets and makes you wonder if she has springs in her legs. Plus, there was never a doubt about underrotations, even though she rotated visibly slower than every woman/girl in this video. And yet, even in real-time you could see her finishing the rotations in the air. Truly unmatched.
The first, Midori, was the best. Such power and height. No one comes close, the others have to spin so much faster than she did to land cleanly.
Midori still has THE best triple axel to this day. No one comes close to her in terms of the speed, height and distance she got on her jumps & THAT one in particular.
Mao Asada continued to try 10 years.
And 2:43, She flew the most beautifully.
Midori still remains the best but Mao deserves a lot of praise too.
don’t know what it is about tonya‘s 3A it’s just that it’s so much more interesting to watch in my opinion. you can see the passion and you can see the strength it’s honestly amazing. the only ones that come close to her are midori and mao in my opinion
Her Skate America one in '91 and '91 Worlds surely... Midori being her equal in this range. Mao though more consistent just seemed to hover over the ice and get it done... almost impossible to compare the two among the others. No one has touched them technically for years in jumps and spins.
wildbrad mao is the odd one out for sure, but hers is just so pretty it’s like two ends of a spectrum. both extremes are literal perfection
It’s more interesting because Harding’s is all power, she is easily 10-15lbs heavier than the others, (put 10lbs on Midori and see if she gets the height like does)
so Tonya had to figure a way to not only get the height but land it without killing herself. She is one remarkable athlete
@@tinahsbundles6106 i didn’t even realize!! to make it look so amazing even though she has an obvious disadvantage makes it that much more marvelous
@@tinahsbundles6106 Ito....4'9. Tonya 5'1
mao asada’s looked amazing! all of them!
Midori and Harding's 3A amaze me. The height and distance travels across the ice is so impressive. I'm just not a fan of the skaters who rotate very fast because they are tiny but there is very little height and they don't really travel across the ice. It just leaves me kind of bored.
Mao's Sochi Olympic 3A is the most memorable. There are many things in Sochi's 3A..
Mao Asada. There isn’t a signature to it like Midori’s powerful approach, but she did it so many times and was gutsy in all those times that it’s admirable. I think the ones who are going to surpass her longevity with the 3A and continue to do it long after seniors are Liza (who’s a technical prowess) and Rika. I’m still not sure about Alyssa because hasn’t gone through puberty yet.
She made the 3A a natural, normal thing and opened a new era, when it wasn't a circus attraction anymore yet a reasonable, plausible move for the younger generations of ladies in the sport.
Mao’s axel jumps are so beautiful :’)
I'm so happy for all of these young women making history
So much talent. I have to say that Midori is still the best 3A ever... and then followed by Mao Asada, Tonya Harding and Alena Kostornaia. All are incredible.
Midori was such a power house jumper. It's amazing that she managed to get a triple axel fully rotated even though she tends to do a leg wrap on her jumps which makes your rotation speed slower.
While Midori have the height speed and power, Mao did it effortlessly.
4:24 I love how supportive Canada was for Mirai when she landed that 3A
MIDORI’S WAS AMAZING WTF MY JAW JUST DROPPED SHE WAS LIKE SUSPENDED MID-AIR AH-MAZING!!!!
Wow, I loved Mao Asada 's skating!
So many under rotations. Seems only 5 women had clean ones: Rika, Mao, Tonya, Midori and Liza.
Mirai too!
mirai is prone to underrotate normally but i thought her olympic 3a was clean
Mao?????? She has so underrotated Triple Axel!
mao is queen of underrotation
I love Rika, Midori's 3A+3T but Mao's 3A success is just 10~15% of her attempts
mao's are so so beautiful oh lord
Can I just say the year gap is giant to Tonya and midora in 1988-1992 to 2002 that just shows how amazing those two are
Midori’s was just so high, smooth, and pleasing. 😊
Mao makes it look absolutely effortless, wow!
Midori, Mao and now Alena best 3A ❤
If there are still doubts out there as to which female skater performed the triple axel the best, please simply look at both the height and the distance of Ito’s at the 1988 NHK. Harding’s axel came close to size, but it still didn’t cover as much ice as Ito’s. It is more powerful than any of the quads performed these days.
midori is queen but i love love love mirai's i wish she had the chance to land more of them. i mean adding that at 24? incredible.
tonya’s give me an insane amount of glee, mao’s is just breathtaking, but midori’s is just perfection. amazing how the first to do it was the best!
Even for the girls who fell, the recovery is amazing they just get up and carry on like it's nothing. Must be hard to do that knowing that you didn't do what you were hoping for
Midori Ito's triple axels are by far the best. High, long, fast and beautifully straight in the air. Technically, Midori's free programmes were not surpassed for nearly 30 years until 2018 with Sacha Trusova doing quads.
伊藤みどりさんは今の進化したスケート靴をもし当時履いていたとしたら、四回転跳べたと言われていますよね。スケート靴も今よりも重かっただろうに、この高さをとぶなんて。
Rika's 3A is absolutely flawless and effortless. my favorite
And Rika continuing the tradition after Mao:) Good Luck Japanese Ladies
I like this video a lot :3 There was the successes, the fails, the attempts, and the practices. Nothing left out :3
Idk if people realize how strong these girls are to get up after falling on their 3A, it really hurts physically and mentally but they continue to be very graceful and beautiful.
10年もの間、3Aを跳び続けた浅田真央さん。
それは彼女しか成し遂げていない。
1:00 this is so well filmed omg. The combination of good camera work and that amazing triple axe is just breathtaking...😍
And now Alena Kostornaia! She made 2 triple axels in competition and beat Liza Tuktamysheva
Mao's 3A is my favorite❤︎
Huh 6hb
Ain’t nobody better at the 3axel then Midori. Every other skater in this video (with perhaps the exception of Tonya) doesn’t get the height or rotation as flawlessly as Ito. Jumping Queen
midori ito's jump is so high! she is very short woman, but her jump's hight is incredibly high and she often smiled after triple axel is successful.
Midori Ito is a queen of triple axels ! Nobody jump like her, Heigh jump my god. She is the best.
Love how this video showed the many ladies who could do this jump--even if it was just in practice. Such a noteworthy accomplishment.
Midori's Axel is just a marvel to watch. Just the sheer height drops my jaw every time. Personally, Mao's air position is a little bit neater to me, but I would pick Midori's without a doubt as my all time favorite. Neater and higher than most of the men's!
After retiring, Midori spoke out on a Japanese TV program. Before she jumped the triple axel, she went full speed sliding to the wall, and then she jumped the triple axel in one go. Other retired skaters laughed at that because it was too dangerous and scary for them.
It's hard to pick favorites, but I think I have to go with Mao's for her perfect air position
Mao Asada’s 3A are solid, strong and beautiful! The strength, height are sensational! Love her so much!
2022. Miss her on ice so much. Mao Asada supremacy.
やっぱり浅田真央の3Aは綺麗だな
伊藤みどりの3Aもすごいけど
Mao is the queen of 3A, always beautiful!
英語のコメント何が書いてあるか分からんけど
ミドリとかマオとか名前が出てる。
何かそれだけで嬉しい
i adore elizavetas arms when landing, makes her jumps look totally effortless
Midori's and Alyona Kostornaya axels were/ are incredible !!!!!!!
All of these young ladies did such a great job but my favorites are Midori Ito and Tonya Harding
In the 1992 Olympic Games, I couldn’t understand why Kristi Yamaguchi won the gold medal, instead of Midori Ito who nailed the triple axel in the long program. I didn’t remember that Midori fell on her first attempt at the triple axel, but nailed the second triple axel. So had Midori nailed both triple axels in the long program, then she would of been the Olympic ladies figure skating champion. That sucks! 🤦🏻♀️
Midori Ito for the height and for being the first, Tonya Harding for the power and also the height, and for her sheer joy when she first landed it.
All the others are impressive, but I'm more into the height of the jump and the distance, than the sheer speed of the spins or even effortlessness. Just seeing in their faces the sheer effort to make the jump makes Midori andTonya's triple axels more exciting to me to watch.
midori's always amazes me because she's so petite, and has the strength to jump so high.
Midori and Tonya were the first two women to ever land it! And they are the only ones who fly through the air, doesn’t look under rotated
Actually, I'm impressed with Ayaka Hosoda's 3A and love her jumps! She landed 3A first time in 2017 and finally landed at Japanese national competition at the age of 23 in 2018. She showed that you can jump 3A no matter how old she is or no matter how she is known. Not many people knows about her, but I hope she can jump 3A at international competitions as a late bloomer!
I just love how every time they land after succeeding the triple axel they have a moment of celebration by expressing their joy. You can see the happiness and pride in their faces. Especially with Tonya and Midori. (:
Spite the triple axel being a very challenging jump, these women make it seem so flawless. 👏🏼👏🏼
Some may have landed more or did a harder combination but it all starts with Midori. Hers is the best and she could've landed more and obviously tacked on a 3 toe if she wanted to!
I love how in the slow motion shot of Mirai Nagasaki successfully landing it at the Olympics, you can see Team Canada and Meagan Duhamel with her arms in the air, standing up to celebrate. Great sportsmanship from Meagan throughout the entire Olympic competition including when Savchenko and Massot realized they’d won the pairs competition backstage in the waiting area.
В номинации самый лучший тройной аксель побеждает... Алена Косторная!!!!
Aleona Kostornaya the best!!!!
and now young you does it in competition, we have another incredible lady to add to the official roster!
Yoshie Onda (JPN) attempted it several times in the early 2000's!
Rika, Liza and Alena are just gorgeous ❤️
Midori and Mao Asada the best
5:40 ok I don’t know about you but that’s a whole MOVE right there I love it
Thought i was the only one
Thanks for sharing this with me! My spot.
Sport hate missed spelled words! I'm a perfectionist!!
Others who we must not forget attempted the triple axel jump in competition: Lisa Sargeant 1992, Angela Derochie 1998. Those confirmed who attempted the triple axel but in practice session only: Tiffany Chin, Josée Chouinard, Kristy Yamaguchi, Maria Butyrskaya.
Midori Ito, Tanya and Mao, my 3 favorites
6:13 Holy cow, Maria Butyrskaya actually landed one backwards!
Yuhana Yokoi also have land 3A in practice and some Japan competition
Hanna Yoshida, Riko Takino and Sui Takeuchi as well
伊藤みどりさんが一番高く飛んでる
Mao's triple axel is just beautiful and elegant. Hands down to the Queen Ito tho
I absolutely adore rika and lizas axels.
Midori would always own this element. Kostornaya also has good 3As and Kihira's look effortless.
TONYA HARDING ❤❤
6:38 young you ♡ Now she jumped triple axcel in her short and free program successly. I love her jumps♡♡
They are all beautiful and amazing😊❤️
