Note: The video states Mirai Nagasu was the second American to land a triple axel in competition (this was recorded before her Olympic success). In 2005, American Kimmy Miessner completed a triple axel in national competition, though not world competition. You can read about it here: www.espn.com/ol...

In this episode of Vox Almanac, Phil Edwards explores the triple axel and why it's such a big deal. The figure skating jump is legendary among ice skaters, from Tonya Harding's 1991 triple axel to modern icon Mirai Nagasu's attempts in competition. It turns out that the physics of the triple axel makes it a uniquely difficult jump - and one worth learning about.
As a forward-edge jump, the mechanics of a triple axel requires technical acumen from skaters while they still try to maintain an artistically interesting performance. Pioneers like Midori Ito and Tonya Harding had to jump, ramp up rotation speed, and then land all while trying to look good. This effort set them apart from competitors like Nancy Kerrigan, but it wasn't easy to land a triple axel in competition.
And that difficulty might be why the triple axel endures as the pinnacle of figure skating performance - and why it's sure to light up the 2018 Winter Olympics as well.

Tonya Harding did it in 1991 and it took 27 years for the second American to do it in a competition. Only 8 women have ever done it..... Tonya is badass.

@sun4502 6 лет назад

How many men have done it ?

@lsrasr158 6 лет назад

sundance cassidy, most top male figure skaters can do the 3A. the 1st male 3A i believe was 1978. Brian Orser did the 1st in the olympics in 1984. Midori Ito was the 1st lady to do the 3A in 1988 and she was also the 1st lady to do the 3A at the olympics in 1992. To date, 8 women have landed the 3A in international competition. Kimmie Meisner of the US did a 3A at US nationals in 2005 I believe but that was not international so she is not counted in the 8.

@Isr asr how many men have done the triple axel though?

@lsrasr158 5 лет назад

@@nickgarner7460 - Vern Taylor did the 1st 3A in 1978. Since then it has become a standard jump for male figure skaters competing at national and international levels. There is no count I can find because it would be too many to count. If you watch Midori's 1990 worlds LP in Halifax on either the Canadian or UK versions, the triple axel she did was so incredible that Toller Cranston on the Canadian version and Alan Weeks on the UK version said her triple axel was as good or better then any in the competition including the men, implying all the men did the 3A at the competition.

@Halvale 4 года назад

Same, I'm confused. Too much physics 😐

@misa7401 4 года назад

Well, just imagine this. Try to jump as high as you could by your own force. Then try now to jump when someone pushed your feet up. You’re going to know that you can jump higher when you have that assistance. And that is the secret of the jumps in figure skating. The higher you jump, the better and the more spin you do on the air. So why Axels are so special? Well, there are other jumps that also don’t have that toe pick assistance but all of them start at a backward position and landing on a backward position again- creating the number of spins needed. So if you spin in the air 3 times then it is a triple. On the other hand, axels have a forward approach and backward landing- giving an extra half rotation. So if you want to have your axel count as a 3A, you must spin in the air 3 1/2 revolutions. But I want to also take note that when you jump in figure skating, both height and distance are important. And the physics comes in there.

If you are going to do a feature on ladies performing the triple axel, Midori Ito comes first. Not only as the 1st woman to complete the triple axel in world competition, but also the 1st woman to complete the triple axel at the Olympics. Her triple axels are always rated the best. Tonya only learned to do the triple axel because she saw Midori do it at the NHK competition in Japan in 1990. If you want to see a perfect triple axel watch Midori's long program skate at the 1990 Worlds at Halifax. In all 3 broadcasts of the competition, U.S., Canada and U.K. the commentators said it was the most incredible jump ever performed in world competition by a female competitor. Toller Cranston, the famous Canadian figure skater who was doing the Canadian broadcast said it was probably the best triple axel done at the competition including the men.

@lsrasr158 5 лет назад

@The Name Thing Is Not Happening RU-vid Tonya tried a triple axel at the 1990 US Olympic Festival Figure Skating in her free skate and fell on it. That was before the 1990 NHK I mentioned above. I don't know if she attempted a 3A in competition before that or how long she may have been practicing it. A 2005 Spokane article I read on Tonya said that when Tonya and her coach Dody saw Midori land an incredible triple axel in practice at the 1990 NHK, Tonya decided when she got back home she would learn and add the triple axel to her program which she did at US Nationals in 1991. Midori I read was attempting the 3A in practice at 14 or 15 years old but suffered a fractured ankle so her coach banned it. After the Calgary olympics in 1988, Midori said in an interview that she decided she had to reactivate the triple axel in order to win at the world and olympic level. Her goal was to attempt and land a triple axel at the 1992 Olympics.

I don't believe the movie mentions Midori Ito being the first woman to land a triple axel, before Tonya. What a surprise.

@lizz3259 5 лет назад

A gril named "alexandra tursova" did quads so 4 turns

@rrenatabp 5 лет назад

@@lizz3259 yes sasha has landed quads but not quad axels (no one has landed quad axels, men or women). the axel is a particular jump because it takes off facing forward, which means the skater has to add half a rotation to the jump (a triple axel is 3.5 rotations, a quad axel would be 4.5) not to mention that taking off forward and without the assistance of a toe pick is very very dangerous (sasha is still amazing for landing the quads that she did tho!!)

narrator neglected to mention that the axel is the ONLY jump that had a forward approach, which makes it different from ALL the other jumps a skater has in their arsenal, (the flip, the loop, the salchow, the lutz...) and part of what makes it even more difficult

@GypsyxDarling 6 лет назад

A triple axle (three and some change rotations taking off from the inside of the skate) and a hypothetical quintuple jump - a jump being any takeoff, so conceivably from the toe or back edge, ostensibly much easier - are not the same thing. Explaining why a quint jump might be impossible when a quad isn't is a different video than "this jump has only been performed by two American women at competition, here's why."

@Nopple 6 лет назад

Kattywompus I agree with what you said but I thibk they're point is that Wired made a video about an insanely hard/theoretical figure skating trick and this is a very hard figure skating trick. The videos base concept is very similar.

@GypsyxDarling 6 лет назад

Sure, sure. But they're both science-y/edutainment websites, and the Winter Olympics just started. Doing a video about the physics of figure skating isn't the most shocking overlap.

@keanadianne 6 лет назад

A bunch of the videos on trending are about stuff like this rn, everyone who uses RU-vid is gonna be watching the olympics later like "oooh that was under rotated, she's gonna get a half point deduction, Nathan Chens quad was much better than Brazil's."

@smartphonephone9675 6 лет назад

Первой женщиной, исполнившей тройной аксель, была Мидори Ито в 1988 году на турнире NHK Trophy. С тех пор ещё только семь женщин - Тоня Хардинг, Людмила Нелидина, Юкари Накано , Мао Асада, Елизавета Туктамышева, Рика Кихира и Мираи Нагасу - смогли исполнить этот прыжок на международных соревнованиях, а ещё одна - Кимми Майсснер - исполнила его на чемпионате США в 2005 году
