The first successful A4 was landed by smoother Russian. Russian athletes are the best because their character is forged in discipline and sacrifice. Both abund in Mother Russia. The best that the west can do, is cry if_"child abuse"_ !
Lambiel's rotation axis gets totally off before landing. Watching this in 2023 ofc, Patrick and Yuzu are the bests. Even Plushenko's body posture looks weird when you look at Hanyu rotating straight like he's pulled upwards with a string. I do not see anybody else among the current skaters who can get even close to that quality. He was born to skate. Perfect aesthetics, combined with perfect technique.
If Yagudin had had better air position and more training on the fishing pole he could have well rotated a 4a, landing would have been a deiiferent thing though, his landing werent the best.
My favorite triple axel of all time is the one Tonya Harding performed at the 1991 Skate America, her Free Skate. Pure power, timing, speed and height - gotta love it!
Ilya Kulik's 3A was the best of all time - the calmness and total balance at take off and landing, the simultaneously explosive yet somehow light as a feather jump height. Honestly Midori Ito easily has the 2nd best 3A of all time - hers is better than almost all the men. The speed height and flow in and out is even better than Kulik's - she should have been on this list
Actually there was a guy at the US championship back around Boitanos return. Dan something? He attempted but didn't make it. I think Ilia Kulic had the best skill to do it if he'd tried. I mean if he did an over rotated 3a on the floor in shoes then why not?
Edit: Yuzu just attempted to land the first ever Quad Axel Today (it was Q but he is yet to land a clean one in Beijing 2022) 🥰🤟 Did not land a clean one in beijing but its was certified by the ISU for the first time in history!!!!
@@Eagle90able The first attempt in Jnats practice was Under-rotated and his attempt at the FS had him landing on both feet so I guess he didnt land it CLEANLY yet so let me rephrase that. He almost landed a quad axel and he is yet to land the first ever clean one.
@@Eagle90able Yeah i guess you can say that since In the one he attempted and landed with one foot in practice was Q but he’s getting there for sure :)) I’m living for the day where “And A quad axel out of no where!” Phrase finally gets used
Figures started not being a required thing. Figures are basically special shapes completed on one foot. They were replaced with moves in the field and also most skaters dread working on edges nowadays.
They forgot to mention and show Han Yan from China’s triple axels. His triple axels fly far and high. I think he’s got one of the best men’s triple axels.
Here after 11 attempts of Quad Axels by Yuzu at WTT2021, he's this 🤏🏼 close, but really the RPM is so fast it drills holes on ice when blades strikes it surface, and the sound impact of it makes a loud bang.
it's not 4A, for 4A you have to make five perfect rounds it's just called 4A, and try to see when yuzuru did it he managed to make five perfect rounds but still having trouble when he landing.👍
No one's landed one before when this was taken. Yuzu has gotten really close but still needs to touch up his landing. So no, I don't understand why they kept it in :(
