Ridiculous that she didn't get first place in the long program with this. Had she been scored the way she should have been in both short and long programs, she could have won a medal despite her weak compulsory figures.
Look how slowly she rotated the triples. I think, she was able for quads.. she hat the techniqe and the height for these jumps. But so sad she retired too early.
This free skate would be enough to win the Gold in many olympics. Those are 7 triple jumps, focus on choreography, spins with lots of beautiful forms and the fire🔥 is there too
I'm a little pissed Dick didn't bring up the fact that Midori was the first to land a triple-triple that night! A lot of attention was on Debbie, who was trying to do a 3T-3T (and Debbie had good jumps!), but Midori's was spectacular. I still cry when I see this program. One of the great moments in figure skating history. She moved so many people with her joy and the high quality of her jumps with the amazing, flowing landing edges. A living legend.
10 seconds to 3lz, and what a height. No one can do this, ever. 1:37 2A-1Eu-3S, perfect timing, no preparation. 4:00 split-split-2A, no preparation. The fist at the last moment is cute XD
