Oh her smile is so beautiful. Her jumping joyous and athletic. Her sportsmanship so great And, honestly her presentation and artistry are wonderful. I used to get so upset when she got marked down for that. She was so ahead of her time. If she was skating under the new scoring system she'd win gold for sure.
She has been known for 3A, but look at the gorgeous 3Lz!! The short run-up, the perfect entry, the crazy counter-movement right before the take-off, the perfect edge, no under-rotation. Actually she almost over rotated.🤣 Some people say Midori was underscored because of 6.0 system, but I doubt even the current judging system evaluate her jump technique properly, because her jumps are too huge and too explosive for human standard, and some judge might consider her leg wrap is ugly, even though she did it on purpose to avoid over-rotation😂 She was beyond 6.0 system, she is beyond the current scoring system, and she will always be beyond the oly gold. Men or women, old or new generation, nothing matters, she is the best jumper. In addition to her marvelous jumps, I love her spins and step-sequence, also, how she skates slowly and stops smoothly on the ice, matching the music. Increasing speed by fine edge control, no cross-overs. She was struggling with compulsory in her earlier career, but I believe that the hard-work on compulsory was worthwhile for the total package of figure skating.
I feel if she was competing today she would be doing quads for sure. She definitely has the airtime and power for them, so if she changed her leg positioning, she could probably get enough rotation. I was looking on a forum thread where they were timing how long skaters were in the air during their jumps and Midori Ito's triple axel was about 0.7 seconds in the air, which is in the same league as people with really good quads. I honestly really like the way she positions her legs because you can really see all of the rotations and it makes it look like she is jumping higher.
@@stanleygagner I agree with you on her potential to do quads, and appreciate someone timed her jump😆 Today's skate shoes are lighter than Midori's era, so she must be able to do quads!!
Toller Cranston, the famous Canadian skater and 1976 bronze medalist who was doing the commentary on the Canadian TV broadcast summed up Midori's talent best during her 1990 worlds free skate in Halifax: "there is simply nobody like her, she is beyond 6.0, nobody is in this league". She showed it again with this incredible performance.
I'm definitely getting shivers. The more you watch this, the more you appreciate the choreography and the music that truly showed how freely she skates on top of that ice. Truly mesmerizing.
It's such a beautiful piece. This was a completely instrumental piece as well. Imagine if she used it for her olympic year programs? Of coruse without the prop Rose and shortened for time as this is way longer than a typical long program but it's absolute magic
I've said it many times, that is the single best triple axel I have ever seen, male or female. Height, speed, ice coverage, perfect landing edge. Flawless!
I can't believe the audacity of the judges to give her 9.9's. She's a perfect 10 for sure :) So great to see her skate so well. I think this program could represent not only her country, but her personal struggles as well.
Absolutely! The little girls trying to do them today could NEVER compete with the triple axel of Midori Ito… let alone her overall complete jumping technique! best ever!
Hey, regarding the song that we all seem to really love. Apparently, based on some internet browsing, I came upon an interview (in Japanese), and Ito said that she was a huge fan of Japan X, and had been "dying to do a skate with their music" for years. Not only is she a prodigal athlete, but she has damn good taste in music. Really avant guard compared to the typical classical numbers that (let's face it), we've seen skated a billion times.
It's interesting to hear X Japan's "Rose of Pain" so soft and delicate. That song REALLY rocks. It sounds great, and her performance (with a rose) is so good.
Midori Ito is really like etheric skater. Gorgeous performance she showed here. She proved that she is number one. Machiko Yamada had to be proud to her.
She has hang time to do another revolution in the air and make it a quad if she really wanted to. Talk about amazing. I saw it in person sitting at ice level when I was only a little girl. It was incredible. To this day, this is still one my favorite skating programs I have ever seen. I started skating right after going to this event. My dad worked for the company so I got to meet all the skaters including her after the event and even have dinner with them. It was amazing. Still have all the pictures. Right before taking my Senior free test, I had a career ending knee injury though. It sucked, but what can you do?
I remember watching this at the time. As the commentator said, "It's just SO NICE to have her back."!!!! She had this incredibly shy, modest personality, and yet she got out there and just had this power; it was incredible. Such a great contrast; a sensitive soul with incredible athletic power. Beautiful.
WOW . . . still watching this today . . . I truly believe her technique was truly the best . . . even skaters today who try the triple axel don't do them with the same power and height which is needed to land the triple axel.
Ahaha... Midori-san... you are really professional performer!!! I wish Midori-san will live in good health as long as she can and show us her lovely smile. Thank you for your great skating. I will never forget you! WAO
to me midori is the best jumper in the history of figure skating, she was the first, and now there's alot who are trying to do the same, she can out jump majority of the men.
Yes, no doubt, sure, certainly, of course this is one of the most beautiful figure-skating program I have ever seen. Midori Ito looks like etheric or ethereal. May be she came here really from Mars. I am not able to explain myself how She done this one.
@mewantspocky The 3axel is considered the toughest jump in the triple jumps level. To this day many top men have trouble with it. For a lady from the early 90s to perform the triple axel consistently is an amazing feat in itself, but Midori owns the jump because as expert Sandra Bezic commented, "Watch how high she gets, the height, the flow, big speed etc..." The triple axel is a tough jump but Midori makes a tough jump look so easy and that's why it is so special and why Midori is so special.
@mewantspocky It is so amazing because she is the first woman in the history of figure skating to perform a 3A in a competition. Not in this one but in 1989. The triple Axel is different from any other triple jump because it is 3 and 1/2 rotations, not only 3, like the other triples. And she performs is better than many men. Amazing is the fact that she gets that high and she is only 4 foot 8.
OMG, she is so adorable! I love the haircut and how she politely bows after every cheer and every score. Best triple axel ever done by a woman--and by most men. She never would have gotten any technical deduction for her jumps under the new system. Terrific.
It’s her strength to weight ratio. On top of her talent, she’s very short and very strong, especially in her back and legs. Same with Tonya Harding, which is why both are the only ladies with a truly excellent 3A. And here, she’s rotating too fast and has to slow it with the triangular leg position - that’s power! I think she could’ve landed a 4A

Wow, my composition. Rose of pain!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome!!! 👏🏻👏🏻😍😍
😍 One of my favorite songs
It is amazing! Thank you, dear Yoshiki!
Yoshiki 🌹🌹🌹
まさか伊藤みどりがこの曲を使っていたとは思いませんでした。
すごい選曲です。
こんなに世界中の人々に愛された日本人は、本当に凄いです。
日本人としてとても嬉しいです。
I love u
会場で生観戦してました。実際に見るとスピードが他の選手と全然違い、凄い迫力があります。
それはそれは、お幸せでうらやましいです。
まずRose of painをフィギュアに使おうとする発想が凄いな

解説の方もおっしゃるようにみどりさんのジャンプは自由そのもの。ふわりと高く飛び上がり回転しながらありえないほど遠くに飛び降りる、翼を得た人の自由とはこういうものかというのを見せてくれる。その跳躍はバスケットボール選手のようだという解説者のコメントもありますね。稀代の天才の姿を久しぶりに見れて嬉しいです。
素晴らしい演技です。選曲もいいし｡この方こそ女王様です。流石です
信じられないようなトリプルアクセルの高さ！！
彼女は私のＮｏ．１フィギュアスケーターです♥
彼女は伝説的な選手だと思います。もっとフィギュア関係の番組に解説とかで出て欲しいですね。
ジャンプもだけどスピードとスタミナが素晴らしい。
あれだけの演技を終えた後も息切れもせずにこやかな笑顔って凄すぎる。
会場で見ていた人は幸せでしたね。
The best jumper in history of women ice-skating EVER!!!
伊藤みどりさんのトリプルアクセルは高い！！誰も真似出来ないから凄い！
今注目の新星・紀平梨花さんのトリプルアクセルについて伊藤みどりさんがコメントしていたので、久しぶりに見に来ました。
華という意味ではでは紀平さん他2000年代以降のスケーターに分があるような気がしますが、観る者を釘付けにするインパクトやダイナミックさ、爆発力という点では圧倒的に伊藤さんだと思います。アクセルジャンプの高さ違い過ぎ!!
遅ればせながら、みどりさんは身長が145センチぐらい。それから分析すると非常に整った体型だと自分は思います。敢えて言うならば、手がもうほんの少し長ければもっともっと表現力が上がったかとは思いますが、このローズオプペインはもう何百回も観てます。だってさ、未だに飽きないんですもの。
X Japan's Rose Of pain.
Great performance with a great song!

Rose of pain がめっちゃ壮大なストーリーがありそうなクラシックになってて感動しちゃいました🥺
素敵です💕
It’s the year 2020 and no one can match the jumping ability of Midori Ito.
AMEN!!! ♥️
XJAPANの曲がこんなところにも使われてるとは.............
フィギュアスケートにも以外に合うんですね。
I can't believe the audacity of the judges to give her 9.9's. She's a perfect 10 for sure :) So great to see her skate so well. I think this program could represent not only her country, but her personal struggles as well.
Midori was under scored from the time she was 8 years old.
このオーケストラバージョンのRose of painを聴いたら、ものすごく優雅で壮大な曲に聞こえる。原曲の狂気じみた世界観とは違って。。。
Here we go! unbeliavable! マイケル・ジョーダンのようなジャンプだ！バスケットボール選手かよ！
という実況が面白すぎるʬʬʬ
みどりさんのスケートのすごいところは、見てる方も普段の煩わしいことも忘れていつの間にか見てるうちに笑顔になっちゃってること。
本来なら殺しあうだの吊るし上げるだのを言ってる曲な件、 それを笑顔で滑ってしまう伊藤さんすごい…
日本より海外で評価されてますね。
日本人はもっとこの人を知り、敬う
べきだと思います。
みどりさんは女子フィギュア界のラスボス
テレビでもっと凄さを伝えてほしい
海外では「新しい時代を創造した人」というのは一番に評価されるし、評価され続ける存在で、パイオニアはいつまでもリスペクトされるからね。しかし、日本にはそういう過去の名選手に敬意を表するようなスポーツ文化が少し欠如しているように感じるよ。
日本の場合はスポーツとしてのフィギュアスケート・ファンというより、特定の選手の熱狂的ファンが多いのかもしれない。
目の前にいる新しいスター選手に熱狂する前に、その競技の歴史に興味を持ってみてもいいんじゃないかな。そうすれば伊藤みどりという人が日本の枠を飛び出して、世界のフィギュアスケートに比類ない影響を与えた巨人であることがわかると思うんだけどね。
そうすれば単なる新しもの好きなミーハーでいるよりも、もっと色々な視点でスポーツを楽しめると思うんだけどね。
This is still the largest and most controlled triple axel performed by a lady figure skater--simply amazing!
Absolutely! The little girls trying to do them today could NEVER compete with the triple axel of Midori Ito… let alone her overall complete jumping technique! best ever!
荒川静香が現役に復帰させてアイスショーに出演させた気持ちがわかったような気がする。
ホント、びっくりもいいとこ！

幸せそうに滑ってるし
見てるこっちがハッピーです♪
最後の屈託のない笑顔も
人柄を象徴してますね
no woman will ever do a triple axel like that ever, speed, height, and flow, you just can't get any better than that.
WOW . . . still watching this today . . . I truly believe her technique was truly the best . . . even skaters today who try the triple axel don't do them with the same power and height which is needed to land the triple axel.
Sheer Joy and sheer class! Midori Ito stole many hearts over the years. How could you not fall in love with her complete and utter charm!
When will the world have another Midori Ito?
Midori you are simply the best EVER!
たぶん、我々が生きているうちに「新たな伊藤みどり」が現れることは難しいと思います。
彼女と同じようなテクニックを持った選手は現れるかもしれませんし、既にそういう選手が存在しているかもしれません。しかし彼女のようにフィギュアスケートの価値観や評価基準を根本的に変更させるようなインパクトを残せる選手はなかなか出てこないような気がしています。
個人的に想像するに、例えばジャンプやスピンは下手なのに、その演技・表現力だけで観客をどよめかせ「なぜ、この素晴らしい選手がメダルを取れないんだ？今のルールや採点基準は間違っている」と多くの人々に思わせることが出来る選手が現れたら、それが「新たな伊藤みどり」になるんじゃないでしょうか。
この演技が30年以上前だなんてすごすぎる
Beautiful jump and Beautiful music, Rose of pain by X-JAPAN
Rose of Pain” do X Japan é uma das musicas mais lindas do mundo.
i still have this on tape. i adore this program, and i love Midori!
Her performance is so amazing !!!!. I haven't seen any like this before .
Ahaha...
Midori-san... you are really professional performer!!!
I wish Midori-san will live in good health as long as she can and show us her lovely smile.
Thank you for your great skating. I will never forget you! WAO
実況の女の人の英語めちゃ聞き取りやすい
A beautiful dance for a beautiful song.
感動の一言しかありません😭
X Japan
This is THE VERY BEST triple Axel I have ever seen in my whole life--by a man or a woman.
Wow amazing💞💞
to me midori is the best jumper in the history of figure skating, she was the first, and now there's alot who are trying to do the same, she can out jump majority of the men.
THE QUEEN
her skills plus x japan music = victory! there is no way she could have lost
They say Midori was the Michael Jordan of Figure Skating. So true.
Xのこの曲が使われてるのめちゃくちゃ嬉しいけど、こんな笑顔で滑る曲じゃないよね笑っ
どちらかと言うとこの曲のモデルとなったエリザベート・バートリーをイメージして敢えて笑顔で滑っていたのかも…！？
何故か気になったら、是非ググって見てくだちい☺️
オーケストラで聞くとサビのメロディの美しさが際立つね
すごいジャンプだ！
曲も良い
I love it when she speaks English, it's too cute!
WE ARE X !
It's amazing!!! WE ARE X!! :DD
I think this is the most beautiful program I have ever seen in my entire life.
she's spectacular... I LOVE MIDORI ITO!!!
完全に回り切ってから降りてるのがスゴイ！ループが決まればオール１０でしたね。
Woah, I've never liked to watch ice skating, but this is so beautiful!! And Rose of Pain too!
Bravo!!!
伊藤みどりの、ジャンプは、すごいです！アイスショー直に見たけど、感激しました
Yes, no doubt, sure, certainly, of course this is one of the most beautiful figure-skating
program I have ever seen. Midori Ito looks like etheric or ethereal. May be she came here really from Mars. I am not able to explain myself how She done this one.
She's so cute with her shy smile! Just want to hug her to pieces!
elegant and powerful
Wow, i was looking for the actual song and I find this amazing skate performance.
5 stars.
But the rose of blood can't answer me till the end...
I love Midori.
beautiful
愛を🌹❤届ける為に意識の強い女戦士が立ち向かい、そして勝利した。✌️✨😉 そんなストーリーを感じました😊❤❤
彼女のトリプルアクセルは異次元だ！！！😊✨✨✨👍
キレイだわ⋯❤

I definitely would love to know what Yoshiki (bandleader of X Japan and composer of this epic song) thought of this. He definitely was honoured.
He finally noticed!
good lord she's adorable!! and such a great jumper
I loved this program. She kicked ass
Best female jumper that ever lived.
Gorgeous!
Spectacular!
OMG, she is so adorable! I love the haircut and how she politely bows after every cheer and every score. Best triple axel ever done by a woman--and by most men. She never would have gotten any technical deduction for her jumps under the new system. Terrific.
Yoshiki Composition... Great stuff.
みどりさんが素晴らしいのは今さら言うまでもない。3Aが完璧な出来栄えだったのはもちろん本当に洗練されて、美しい演技だった。
動画の趣旨からはズレるけど、個人的に最終順位を見て、4位にカダヴィが入っていたのが感慨深かった。個人的に彼女はカルガリーオリンピックの時にSPで非常にモダンな演技をした印象があったんだ。それなのにFSは棄権してしまったからね。
着地の時の彼女のスマイルが最高です。
みどりさん小柄なのでインタビュアーの方中腰☺
Lovely！
Midori Ito's jumps were unbelievable. How that triple axel is physically possible, I'll never know.
It’s her strength to weight ratio. On top of her talent, she’s very short and very strong, especially in her back and legs. Same with Tonya Harding, which is why both are the only ladies with a truly excellent 3A. And here, she’s rotating too fast and has to slow it with the triangular leg position - that’s power! I think she could’ve landed a 4A
got a buncha tingles up my spine from watching that. it's a good thing.
Don't forget that flying sit spin!
