She also had an eating disorder which I wouldn’t be surprised if they all do, you can’t go those jumps unless you’re super thin, so she was probably really weak.

While I know that Mojo is trying to appeal to younger streamers who don't want to look at old people doing boring stuff in grainy footage (as they see it), it's also remarkable how the juicy fall rate goes up in the more recent footage. If they keep letting them skate to medals on their bottoms instead of their blades, this is going to turn into NASCAR; while, the daring and ability to operate the machinery in circles at high speeds is impressive, everyone is just going to be waiting for the crash.

Babilonia and Gardner was the most heartbreaking as they were the reigning world champions and were skating in 1980 on home ice.

The jump being attempted in #2 is a triple flip, not a salcow.

@@the_glitter_is You do not have to be a skater to notice that it was Flip not Salchow, lol.

@annecohen8927 2 года назад

@@leahstemberger6621 There is a pre rotation with a salchow. So what do you mean by ‘who cares’ when everyone is trying to figure out to tell one jump from another? See what I mean? People- who are figure skaters, just don’t like to be confused.

None of the falls from the 2006 Original Dance made it?!?!?!

@danamarie2970 6 месяцев назад

If you're gonna comment on the sport of figure skating, please make sure to learn how to call the jumps correctly. That's what a responsible sports analyst/narrator should do, especially one with over 25M subs. For example, when you're talking about Mao Asada landing a triple axel, you show her completing a triple flip. Same thing with Julia Lipnitskaya. You claim she failed to complete a triple salchow at the Sochi Olympics but the clip of her you inserted here shows her falling on a triple flip at those Games.

@sheilaholmes996 Год назад

You should have added Brian Orser in 1988 losing to Brian Boitano. Had the gold in his hand and fell.

@happycommuter3523 6 месяцев назад

He stumbled, he didn’t fall, but later doubled a planned triple Axel. Boitano had landed all eight triple jumps, and those two problems gave Boitano the win on the technical marks.

I just think it’s so messed up that literal teenagers can compete in the Olympics. They aren’t mature enough to handle that kind of pressure.

What I remember about Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner is that they were supposed to win gold…no other pairs were close. Then he pulled a groin muscle in warmup. Tai, as I recall, was really upset because by now, he should know how to do a proper warmup. He can’t be blamed for this…you never know what your body is going to do, especially with the stress of the Olympics. This is the first time I’ve heard of pain killers in leg muscles. These athletes fight through leg pain unless it’s a more serious injury. But a pulled groin muscle? You can’t skate through that.

Babilonia and Gardner actually won the 1979 World Figure Skating Championship in pairs skating and broke the ten-time World-winning streak of Soviet pairs skater Irina Rodnina with two different partners, Alexei Ulanov (four years) and Alexander Zaitsev (six years). Their heartbreaking withdrawal from the 1980 Winter Olympic Games allowed Rodnina to win Olympic gold for the third time with Zaitsev (his second gold).

Ouch. Chin to the ice. Sounds bad enough than what my friend told me. She didn’t ice skate but she got a pencil up in the chin

@lindatannock 2 года назад

A lot of skaters have split their chin at some point! We're a hard breed of people lol. We just fall, get back up and do it again. Learning a new jump, we can fall dozens of times each training session, and do it all over again the next day/week/month/year until we master it 😉⛸️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@meaghancolman8319 2 года назад

Yulia fell during a triple flip, not a salchow. Salchow’s are edge jumps, flips are toe jumps…you can clearly see her toe pick in the ice before take off.
