I can confidently say that if she had found a way to not have her leg wrap while jumping, she would have been the first woman to land a quad axel. That axel jump is higher than the best male figure skater in the world’s axel jumps right now. Plenty of time for four and a half rotations. Seriously the craziest height I’ve ever seen! I will never get over it. She was so ahead of her time and training for jumps was not what it’s like today from my understanding
Is it me or were 3As much bigger in the 90s than they are today? And I’m not just talking about women. Even men’s axels don’t seem to catch the height they once did. I just watched a Todd Eldredge program and man, his 3As were magnificent.
