    As I watch this, I ask why the judges didn't all give 6.0 for technical merit. I know commentators always said the judges had to leave room for the other competitors to come. Yet they had to have known that no one even if they went clean could match Midori technically. The only judge who truly scored this performance correctly were the Swiss and Italian judges.

    • @tally1604
      @tally1604 7 лет назад +6

      Jovan Rodriguez Lopez and the Soviet judge gave Midori a 5.9 for the artistic merit, and placed her ahead of Trenery, not just technically, but on the second mark in the free. Remember, ordinals were not absolutes, but a means to rank skaters relative to one another on any given day of competition. Yes, I would've given Ito a 6.0 technically, but to me it's much more important that 2 judges - absolutely correctly - put Midori ahead of Jill artistically., the Soviet and the German. And they all, all 9 of them, placed the Japanese ahead of the American technically and overall in the free. Also, the Soviet judge placed Yamaguchi second in the free, thus giving the gold medal to Midori, the only one to have done so, I believe.

    This was another instance when the best skater was robbed of the title because of the antiquated compulsory figures. Midori clearly had the best FS and marked way above the other competitor but was edged out by Jill Trenary who had a better showing in figures. That 30 % used to go a longggg way that's why they ended the compulsory figures.

    It’s been almost 30 years and no one has come close to Midori’s effortless athleticism and leaping prowess. Unless some genetic evolution occurs that produces just that perfect combination of short-twitch muscles and natural sense of timing and rhythm, I doubt we will ever see another Midori Ito. It’s really the latter skill of innate timing, precision and mastery of mind-and-body coordination that optimizes conversion of horizontal thrust into vertical ascension, and for as much as Midori soars into her jumps, there’s no grotesque, extraneous movements wasted. Take for example, her triple Toe-triple Toe combination: any other less gifted jumper would attempt the lift-off required for 3 revolutions by exaggerating the toe-pick plant, and vaulting - or rather muscling - herself to nothing but catastrophic results. Midori, instead leverages timing and rhythm to do this. Much like a drummer, there’s a precise speck in time when the stick collided with the vibrating membrane near the crest of the vibration, producing an exponential return of energy to the stick. This timing is also why Midori’s 2nd triple is almost always bigger than the first, she uses up all the leftover forward thrust on her 2nd jump.

    • @lsrasr158
      @lsrasr158 5 лет назад +2

      Chris Quidlat, beautifully explained. If you watch the Canadian version of this skate, shortly after Midori's incredibile triple axel, Toller Cranston the 1976 bronze medalist simply states about Midori "there is simply nobody like her". Do you think she could have done quads?

    • @quiddy
      @quiddy 5 лет назад +2

      lsr asr easily, and perhaps quad axels. Somewhere in this RUclips there was a lad who compiled, number crunched, and calculated the maximum height of any skater who has hit a triple Axel and as I remember Midori’s height was up there with the men’s if not the highest. It would make sense, right? With her ratio of muscle strength and weight ? Less weight + more strength vs high weight (men’s) + same strength. I say same strength because if you look at Midori’s legs they were disproportionately larger than her body structure. Almost like Elvis Stojsko’s. And one more trait about her daikon legs that I think made it easier for her - her feet were turned out , the opposite of having clubbed or penguin legs. Her turned out feet helped because this is the crucial transitional moment for an axel. It’s when you switch going backwards to going forward. Every other skater takes a longer time to do this and wastes energy. For Midori it’s an easy move. Unfortunately, this physical trait also hurt her artistically, if you watch her Rose of Pain routine, when she picks up the rose after hitting the triple Axel, she does so with legs apart, very unfeminine and therefore ungraceful

      @lsrasr158 5 лет назад +1

      @@quiddy I have not seen the video of the person who calculated the height of triple axels of various skaters. I did see a comment regarding I think it is the muscle twitch fibres in Midori's legs being over 9. The individual posting said that was extraordinarily high and that Carl Lewis the olympic sprinter who had a high muscle twitch in his legs was 8.2. Thank you for explanation on her legs explaining why the axel was easier for her then other skaters. I have seen her Rose of Pain skate. I think she did it at the 93 pro championships which she won. Regarding her artistry, I read that at the 88 olympics Chris Dean who was doing the Australian TV commentary for the ladies LP said, when Midori was downgraded artistically, her skating is the artistry. On the subject of quads, do you know if she ever landed a quad in practice. would love to see a video of it. I have seen videos of Midori doing amazing 3A-3T in practice skates at the Lalique tourney and at the Albertville olympics. Do you know why she never tried one in competition.

    • @quiddy
      @quiddy 5 лет назад +2

      lsr asr I can’t say for sure that she never attempted any during practices but I’m thinking because she was so ahead of her time, doing the quads were simply out of the picture. However, had she been a skater in today’s era, when female skaters were attempting quads - albeit cheatingly - she easily could have attempted them including the triple Axel-triple Toe loop.

      @@quiddy How would you compare Tonya to Midori since Tonya was the only other woman capable of a triple axel at that time. I have seen numerous postings, mainly on Tonya videos by her fans claiming Tonya was the best. Below is a posting I saw by someone who said he was a USFSA Judge and the president of a skating club:
      "I saw them both live. Nobody was more exciting than Ito, no man, no woman, no pair. When she was on it was like watching a superhero movie. You don't get a sense of how much faster she is than Harding or how much higher she jumped. Her hang time was superhuman. Open legs on all her triples. It defies science. The other difference is Tonya was extremely powerful but worked very hard to get speed and height. She kind of skated like the Hulk in person. Ito just picked up speed and launched herself into the air like a rocket with almost no preparation and while she was way more consistent than Harding, she was also way more reckless. It would be nice if Harding would bend her knee on one landing. I still remember the thud sound she made when she landed."

    Strangely ironic that she got 3 perfect 6.0's and doubled the triple salchow jump. She was a marvelous technician. The current Russian ladies are now whipping out quad lutz/triple toe loop combinations like they are doubles. The reason that the ISU eliminated the compulsory figures is because the U.S. mostly dominated the school figures. Judging under the old system was judged in communist countries vs. Western countries. No one had the balls to admit to it while it was going on, but Scott Hamilton admitted many years later that this indeed is what they were doing.

Yamaguchi won both the short program & free skate to win gold at the '91 Worlds (Ito 4th), '92 Olympics (Ito 2nd) & '92 Worlds, where Ito didn't compete.

When she was on, she was on and was one of two people that could beat Yamaguchi, Midori being the other person. That's why the other ladies had to up their technical content because of Ito. They knew that they didn't stand a chance in hell of beating Midori when the woman was landing consistent triple axels and triple-triple combinations. Anyhow, she was FLYING in this performance. How she didn't win is beyond me because Trenarys performance was dull as hell and barely had any technical content in it. She wasn't even doing the triple lutz at this stage of her career!

Well....she did leading up to the Olympics LOL. And this performance would score HUGE under the points system. The transitions, spins, footwork and her speed across the ice would get +2, +3 GOEs across the board. Not to mention, her jumps don't get any better than that. The height on her triple axel is insane and she'd get that 10% bonus for landing that beautiful triple toe-triple toe late in the program.
