Triple Axels in Ladies' Skating: UPDATED 2020

- čas přidán 8. 04. 2020
- We've seen more triple axels than ever before in ladies figure skating this year. Here's a rundown of all the women currently jumping 3A's!
*note that any numbers indicate only triple axels in official ISU-sanctioned international competition, so nationals, local comps, Japan Open, etc don't count. These unofficial competitions are denoted with ** in the video!

Who do you think currently has the best triple axel?
I'd say it's between Rika and Alena
Alena, I think. She makes it higher and further. The jump is as candle, with a smaller angle, because it looks prettier, plus the exit with an additional element.
Pay attention at the GOE.
@@quadflutz319 Updated quads video is coming soon!
Alena
Alyona has difficult TR in and out, high and long 3A. It was a new element back then for her, she did a great job. Rika usually has a smaller 3A when compared to Alyona's but thats mostly due different technique, however, she has better air position and landing. Her 3A's are being fully rotated on the air, which is so so amazing. They're both great!, it is difficult to say who's better.
I believe Wakaba will have huge 3A, once it's stable, there is footage of 4CC practice and the length of her jump was like watching Yuzu or Han Yan's.
Elizaveta
Remember when there were only a few women to do 3 axel , this sport is developing every year
Now 10 yo are attempting it. In 2030 5 yo would be landing 4A cleanly 😂

@@PanchoMaldonado-hf6rq hi 😊
Women were doing triple axels in the 80's! It was a long time before they made another appearance
It's truly astonishing what these ladies are capable of nowadays! But I especially enjoy Kihira's and Kostornaya's jumps.
Alyona transition and height are amazing
I think her axel is the greatest
Kostornaia has the best triple axel ever landed by a woman, the transitions in and out + plus the height and distance are AMA-ZI-NG. Rika is right up there too the only think she lacks is the difficult entrance and exit
I dont know, Midori Ito's 3A is #1 to me... and Kostornaia is #1.1 :)
Aliona's 3a had the highest success rate
I love Team Tutberidze. I have to admit Alena can jump the most beautiful 3 Axels, either on Short Program or FS.
@@itsallgoodman1244 HAHAHA SORRY MS. TONYA I DIDN'T MEAN TO OFFEND U
Has she landed any 3A3T in competition? That says everything.
yuzutea is back to bless us with content during quarantine
Rika and Alena triple axels are so beautiful so effortless
Alena's only been doing 3A not even a whole season and she's already the best at it! The height, the transitions, the effortlessness... Rika is a close 2nd.
Nah, it’s the other way round.
@Jessica Sycz So... Alysa, Rika and You dope too? Or you just being casually xenophobic?
@Jessica Sycz stop liking your own comments, jessica.
@Jessica Sycz ma'am...you're talking to a minor as well. that's not gonna work with me.I'm probably younger than you lol
@Jessica Sycz and how do I know you're a minor? you could be 70 years old for all I know, and the one with the sad life here is you dear, thinking skaters dope. if there's a comedy club where you live, go on the stage and tell your jokes to someone else cause this is not harassing. and are you implying my life? do you know me? are you harassing me? oh my God. help. she's harassing me
I'd say that Kostornaya has the most impressive 3A - distance she travels and height take your breath away.
Rika and Aliona both have amazing 3A. Both have amazing flow, height and distance (which people seem to ignore that Rika’s is only like 1cm shorter), both have transitions (Aliona’s are more difficult) Rika has a better air position (leg wrap!!) I love both of them and they both have different strengths and are so wonderful to watch.
Yah!Can't agree more
Midori ito was essentially 30 years ahead of
her time.
And she’s 50 and can still do an amazing 2A, the talent in that woman
@@dex9428 she's incredible, and such a lovely person
Midori's 3A was a moonshot. And even after that, only like ONE skater in every era really attempted it a lot. Tonya Harding and Mao Asada come to mind. Only now do you see multiple girls attempting and landing it in any given skating season. About time!!
Kostornaia's trip axels are the best...the height, the control, the flow coming out of the jumps, and the elegance.
Lol I can hear Mie Hamada screaming in every succesfull triple axel of Rika, I love her
Me too 😂
It's sad that Liza's 3A was not appreciated more. She included more difficult steps but she didn't get more GOE. I like Rika's 3A smoothness but then I also like Alena transitions in & out in her SP. Hoping to see more 3A next season. Honestly, I think 3A is still the "jump" in ladies figure skating. Until I see an adult woman who can do quads sustainably, I am still on the fence.
Liza's 3A is insanity to watch.... truly its like magic to see how she snaps so quickly into rotation...
@@zeel5689 yes, the thing that really amaze me is how little she uses her arms to lift her body.
It's unique to her at least and kinda rare I guess. Sometimes too much arm swinging can make the jump looks muscly (example Zhenya's 2A Eteri era).
@Marine Chuop-Mourareau Professor Mishin said once that he had to alter the arms technique for Liza (left arm if I'm not mistaken) and this way she grasped 3A much easier.
I love Liza's 3A, it looks so... natural. Like she slides and the next moment she flies. Alyona and Rika are both fantastic too.
liza is working on quads too, so I really hope she can be the first grown woman to do it consistently given we’ve seen her land them in practice! wish she would be more recognition for being the one of only ‘older’ female skaters still keeping up with the teenagers
Alena's jumps are so clean, beautiful and they seem effortless. Amazing ❤️
Its nice that so many ladies are landing it, but IMO they should not be even attempting let alone training a 3A or quads until 14 minimum. Many of those 10 and 12 year olds land HARD off these jumps, and it can only mean major problems and injuries in the future from the repeated beating on the young bones.
My favorite 3A is Alenas because 1) she did train it prior to this year, but stopped, and didnt pick it up again until she was 15-16, so I think she will be able to maintain it for longer, or get it back if she loses it due to lack of training on ice during this CoVID stuff and puberty.
2) its solid as a rock. Shes turned out on it and tripped, yes, but never totally fallen so far in competition. No one has been that consistant with it first year competing it.
3) transitions. She has Yuzuru level transitions with those counters and rockers and the falling leaf out in the short. I think she'll be doing an ina bauer into a 3A in the next couple seasons like she did with 2A.
4) height and distance. Her 2A was huge at times, so i knew she could do a 3A, but her height she gets on the 3A is massive, its hard to believe she cant do a quad with that height! I guess because all the other jumps are backward entry and she doesnt get a much height that way? Some struggle to get height in their axles but not the others, while she seems to be opposite or at least equal in all.
I’m glad you said this. I sure did notice that all of a sudden after the olympics, there was a sudden boom of all these young ladies doing 3A and even landing quads. You’re right, it’s GOT to be murder on the bones at that age. It will be interesting to see if they maintain it when they become of age. I feel like they’re put under pressure to start earlier and earlier in the skating world so time will tell!
Liza looks so relaxed when attempting her 3As!!!
alena is my favorite. she is artistic. when she does her jumps, she does it without making it look like it was forced into the program.
aliona has outstanding height and the most difficult entry among all the female skaters which is really amazing but damn rika...her axel is so gracefull and smooth it literally feels like she's flying above the ice. and she finishes rotating while being in the air so most of the times it's not even slightly underrotated. those two are the best axel jumping ladies in my opinion
0:23 i'm shocked that is SO CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL
Omg you're back yay!! Great video as usual)) ☺️🙏
Finally you came back I missed your videos so much ♥♥
Wow Alena’s are just so gorgeous and athletically amazing. But in all, I love seeing so many ladies competing a 3A. The level of talent nowadays is insane.
Alena’s jumps are so beautiful
I love her transitions especially
omg I couldn't be happier you're back and posting things!
유영 최고다..사랑해..
i love the attention to detail in your videos!! also sunny side up best bside
Kihira is flying!! The best!!
Liza's never fail to blow my mind. She's so relaxed going in the jump and then she just takes off and does THAT, as if it was nothing. Holistically speaking, Kihira's still my favorite. Alena's height and distance, transitions are insanely well executed, but idk what it is, her rotations in the air and landing make me anxious? (i know she's been successful all season, but it's just a weird feeling i have when i watch them. I'm sure it'll all get better with time given its her first season trying them! )
Alysa lIu's 3A look like doubles to me. too much pre-rotation.
And her take-off is not clean~
I can’t believe this many women are now doing clean triple axels with ease. Some of these girls are so young! I suspect some are going to have trouble maintaining them as they grow and get a little older. I grew up skating at a time when when men were just doing quads in competition for the first times. Things have come so far in the last 25-30 years in figure skating. Thanks for these videos.
0:43 she makes it look so easy
yuzutea ur back!! i missed you ❤️
Kostornaia's Axel is extremely beautiful
Finally, you havent posted in a while
Aliona's 3A is really good👍👏
omg! so many skaters have already tried 3A. thanks for sharing! I prefer Rika’s axel)
finaly more uploads!
Absolutely lovely triple axels, but I can't help but feel so worried for the younger girls...They're so small and skinny and triple axel is such a big jump I don't want them hurting themselves before their bodies can reach their full potential. Love Alena and Rika!
Yay!!! Yuzutea is back!!!! :D
Rika and Alena have such beautiful 3A.
🥇Alena❤️ 🥈rika 😊 Alena's 3A is the most dynamic and beautiful. rika's 3A looks consistent and effortless
young you!!
1:47
It's not young you, it's you young.
@@spencerlee7450 It's not a strange name but a Korean figure skater's name. Your name is really weird.
@@spencerlee7450 That's a disrespectful remark for Korea. You're so ignorant and rude.
@@tacke838 In Asia the first and last name gets switched a lot
Rika still have the best triple axel imo its so smooth and soft and the landings are great. Smooth landings are a thing I miss from FS tbh it seems that nowadays majority of skaters are struggling with them for some reason, praying they get better
Aliona and Rika. Aliona for her insane transitions, height and length and Rika for her air position, inflow and outflow, and general effortlessness. Although Im leaning towards Aliona.
Miyabi!! Thanks!! I love her skate.
It's amazing to finally see woman attempt and sucessfully land triple Axels. Back in the day...in the 90s , there were only Midorito Ito and Tonya Harding who could do this....followed by a few more in the 2000s. Triple axel is a very difficult job where you need alot of speed, height and control in the jump. I'm very excited and hope to see all the ladies include this jump in their program.
I think Rika’s exits are underappreciated. Yes she doesn’t have diffficult entries but her landings are much better than Alena’s and she usually has steps/one foot skating out of her triple axels. Alena’s entries and speed is amazing though. I only find her landings a bit stiff. Other than that her 3As are gorgeous. Maybe Rika’s air positions is better and combinations are more effortless compared to Alena’s. But overall they are both so amazing I just can’t choose one over the other lol
Totally agree. Rika is the best, for me. 💚 If Alena had Rika's landing.. But Alena's height, wow.
Raya I.K. Actually Rika is able to produce insanely high jumps, but it’s not consistent. I remember that one of her triple axel is as high as 58cm
awesome video! great job...but why isn't ayaka hosoda of Japan included?
Rika is perfection. 💜 Alena is divine, if only the landing was smoother. The others' axel is still shaky. 💚
I agree with you
What? Do you see Elizaveta's 3A?
I like Rika's rotations and assertiveness..it also has an attack style. and Alena's height, transitions and flow. I dont like Alena's leg wrap although its not too bothering.
Is that red velvet sunny side up in the beginning?
А-лё-на Все молодцы. Она лучше всех.🤗
I wish Aliona would add the falling leaf after her triple axel like she used to do in juniors. It was my favourite element so graceful 😢
She still did in her short program. It doesn't look quite same in terms of height and ease, but it's after a triple axel so can't really fault her for that. But I personally think it looked better with the double axel.
I want her to do ina bauer before 3A so bad, like in her juniour years with 2A, its so beautiful
now that would be next level. I think ina bauer entry must be more difficult than the current entry that she does.
Алёна это просто чудо!
both sofias and alysa are so talented at such a young age! 12-13 and doing 3A’s following with 3T’s with consistency! insane.
Been waiting for this Quads next?
Alyona's triple axel is gorgeous. It takes my breath away every time.
I found your video this morning and I really love your video. I watched all of it. I have a request for you. Maybe you can make a video explaining about FS competition. Like how can FS athlete can join Olympics or World Championship or 4 Continent, is there any qualification or smth.
Sorry for my bad english
Amazing girls!!
I think Mao asada set a milestone
okay this may sound unrelated but I was surprised you used red velvet's sunny side up in the beginning:) my life is complete, aliona and red velvet together in a video.
One of my favorite red velvet b-sides!
The 14, 12, 10 year old ladies attempting these 😱😱😱
Not only attempting, but successfully landing
3A by 25 yo would be more impressive in my opinion
А потом отрастает пятая точка и фсе (((
@@sorciere12 Me too!! So cool to see. I wish there was a cut off at Olympics so we could actually see women skate and win, and then see a different section where the teens compete. A 14yo isn't a woman.
@@nataliaeskova533 Лиза, видимо, не в курсе, как и японская фигуристка из этого видео с 3А в 25 лет. А также первопроходцы Мидори Ито и Тоня Хардинг.
I came here to see the big names doing 3A, but it's inspiring to see all these really young ladies doing 3A too! Jump-wise, figure skating is really getting more and more competitive these days.
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
I like Alena's 3A but i'm supporting Rika too!she has a lot of potential. I'm really surprised of those russian girls already landing 3A 😮
By the way, using Sunny Side Up by Red Velvet...you have taste👌
The best is Alena💖💖
I mean, 3A when you are like 10 or 11 is something out pg this world to me. Just mind-blowing
@@itsallgoodman1244 I know! but on the other hand it requires a lot of technique and power. Since they are so little at least they have way less power and time to train it and do correctly. jmo
Alena. Just AMAZING
Even in this current (weird) season, we already have a new triple axel in international competition from Anastasia Shabotova, and an attempt by Ivett Toth, as well as several new practice videos from Tomoe Kawabata, Amber Glenn, Aliona Zhilina, Seoyeon Ji, Bradie Tennell, among others. This is surely going to be an interesting season!
Thank you.
By the way, do you have a video of Yuhana Yokoi’s Triple Axel? I’ve heard a lot of people say that she has one and I would really like to see it🙂🙂

twitter.com/yuzuporuko/status/899747354651238400?s=20
Her 3A was amazing but I'm not sure if she's still training it, the last attempts I can find were from ~2016/17
来シーズンは細田選手にも期待！
Random question but is anyone else actively training this as well, thought I heard something about Bradie Tennell aiming for one (could just be TSL being cryptic as usual)
Yuzuru dono, can you make a video about spin, choreography, fly camel, etc.i learn jumps, thanks to you..now its time to learn about the artistic aspect in figure skating.
Suddenly 3A becomes a routine repertoire. Good to see this in post YNK era. Frankly this should have happened ten years ago. What a regression in the past 15 years leading to the loss of audience and FS fans. Glad for the progression in the sport. Hope for fair judging.

Catalina Estevez 1 Алёна, 2 Лиза, 3 Рика, В ТОЧКУ 💐👍
@Ada Rodriguez veamos:
- Kihira no tiene un 3A estable, se cae en una, y otra la hace bien, recuerda que desde su última temporada junior y sus 2 temporadas senior, no tiene 3A estable.
- You igual que Kihira, en su primera temporada senior hace bien un 3A y en el otro se cae. Ya ni mencionar su etapa junior (donde empezó a saltar sus 3A) por que paso desapercibida.
En resumen, tampoco es estable.
- Alena para ser su primera temporada senior (ojo en junior nunca puso un 3A) tiene un 3A estable, por ahi que se le habrá escapado un error, pero no ha tenido caidas, algo que el público y jueces consideran teniendo en cuenta que es su debut.
- Hay que tener en cuenta que bajo este sistema, todos los saltos se aprecian y califica muy bien por los jueces si tienen: entradas y salidas complejas, cobertura en el hielo, ejecución del salto, técnica y altura (por ahi me olvido algo).
En el caso del 3A de Alena, cumple todos los requisitos.
En el caso de Kihira, sólo tiene técnica y altura, no cumple todos los requisitos.
Es por eso que en las competiciones principales (eventos de GP, y en el GPF) Alena supero en el GOE del 3A a Kihira.
No se trata sólo de que el salto sea alto o de libro de texto, se trata de la calidad como presentas el salto y el puntaje que se logra en las competencias nivel A importantes (no incluye eventos B o nacionales).
Las 2 veces que Alena (en nivel senior) se enfrentó con su 3A al 3A de Kihira, la supero eso es comprobable al ver la nota técnica.
Ojo no incluyo ni Europeos, 4 Cc ni mundiales, por que no se enfrentaron directamente, tampoco incluyo a You, por que no compitio directamente con Alena, pero si nos basamos en suposiciones...Alena hubiera superado también a You.
Lo siento, pero los resultados de competencias importantes NO MIENTEN.
키히라 선수는 트악도 너무 잘 뛰고... 점프들이 다 정석이어서 너무 좋다!!
Самый впечатляющий 3 Аксель у Алёны Косторной! Эталонный!
Алихан Рахметов я не эксперт но слушала тренеров и олимпийских чемпионов и экспертов которые говорили о Алёне и Лизы, у Алёны легче и чуть выше аксель чем у Лизы но по технике Лиза активнее, я когда действительно смотрю на Алёну и Лизу не могу сказать кто лучше прыгает, обе супер.
@@user-fq9on7yv3j Ну наверное, так и есть, раз эксперты и заслуженные чемпионы говорят. Они больше меня в этом разбираются. Но меня впечатляет именно в исполнении Алёны! Особенно на этапе Гран-При во Франции.
Алихан Рахметов мне тоже Алёны аксели нравятся, но в некоторых выступлениях Лиза так технично прыгнет аксель под музыку что мурашки по телу, я же уже написала что не могу Алёну с Лизой сравнить, очень красиво прыгают наши две попрыгушки триксели.
@@user-fq9on7yv3j Елизавете большой респект за мужество и волю к победе! Что не сдаётся перед молодёжью и разучивает сложные элементы.
Алихан Рахметов 👍👍👍💐
the best are definitely alena and rika. rika seems to be a little bit more confident and familiar with the axel, but since she has a way softer landing and less distance, it doesn’t give as much of that subconscious “wow factor” alena does. rika wins for overall technique, and alena wins for the shock and presence.
Is it possible for quadra axel?
In MY OPINION the best triple Axels are:
1. Rika Kihira - The height of her Triple Axel is impressive
2. Aliona Kostornaia - The transitions are so beautiful
3. You Young - THE FLOW!!!!!!
Alena definitely has the best 3a
Самый шикпрный аксель у Косторной!! 🥰🥰
I'd have thrown in the one from Ayaka Hosoda at the Aurora Games as well.
And Alena Zhilina, Veronika's sister! She landed the 3A when she was 8 y/o
たくさんの選手が3Aを降りてて感動しました
i cant believe in 2020 we have multiple women competing a 3A
My personal favorites right now are:
Kosto
Waka
Rika
Though Mana and Young are close
What about Ayaka Hosada?
I feel cool that Alena and I use the same axel entry
I stole it from her and used it for my SINGLE axel... I can't imagine a triple
Alena and Rika are my favourites
ここ数年で3A飛ぶ女子選手が本当に増えたな・・・
Alyona's triple axel = amazing ,omg ,she is flying on the ear !!!!! Respect Liza ,Rika ,Mao ,Tonya ,......all triple axel ladies ,but Alyona's unbelieved .
Why are quads not allowed in women's short program ?
Personally, I wish the judging system would favor artistry because there are so many amazing skaters like Alina Zagitova or Evgenia Medvedeva who won’t be able to compete in Beijing 2022 because of all the competition with all these fancy jumps
For example, Alina is capable of a 3Lz+3Lo+3Lo+3Lo+3Lo combination. I’ve seen her do it at practice but she hasn’t competed a triple axel or que yet and that is what it going to prevent skaters like her from being able to go to Beijing. So personally, I just wish that artistry had more points so there could be a better balance between countries at the olympics
is the screams the same because i heard the same screams all over and over again is it just me or im really just trippin
Алёна лучшая из лучших!Елизавета тоже хороша!👏🔥
I know rika's transition isn't as difficult but i really do appreciate her landing, it really does seem effortless
My question to all, in Ladies' skating, who has the best triple axel of all? My vote is Midori. Compare the triple axels above to Midori's triple axel in her LP in the 1990 Worlds in Halifax. There are youtube videos of it. Are any of these triple axels better?
