Can someone help me compose a list of female skaters who have landed a quad in practice or competition? Thanks.

Miki Ando landed one in competition. (4S, I think?)

Sasha landed one in practice (4S)

Surya Bonaly landed quad toes in practice & tried them in competitions.

Tonya Harding landed a quad toe loop in a Texaco commercial, so I presume she could do one in practice.

Midori Ito broke her ankle attempting a quad in practice.

Amber Corwin was also working on quad toe, and recently, Nancy claimes she had landed a quad.

There was a rumor going around on this forum that Joannie is training 4Salchow in practice.

Ouch. Her hip. I wonder how fast those rotations would have to be considering how low her jumps were...

I think Joannie should try either the 4toe, 4sal, or 4loop. Considering the nature of the loop, the effortless height she gets on that jump always gives me chills.

Oooh! Oh my gosh, that's painful even thinking about it. I agree, her jumps were incredibly low to the ice. She had such a weak 2Axel. Mira Leung is the only skater I can think of whose 2Axel is worst than Tara's was.

Sometimes it's difficult to know who actually trains the jump, and who is just trying to psych out the competition by talking about it.

Nancy once said while she was commentating (on I believe it was Nationals 08) that she had landed a quad ("only") once in practice before. She then used that as evidence to support the fact that the quad was indeed a hard jump.

Joannie Rochette also landed a quad (not sure which one...probably 4sal) and a beautiful 3F-3T-2R at 2004 World's practice. here's what she said about the quad in a livechat with skatetoday a few years ago:

[abbykitty]: Joannie, is it true that you landed a quad and a triple axel at last years practice at Worlds?
[Joannie]: I did land the quad at Worlds during practices, but I've never landed a clean triple axel yet. I woked a bit on it this summer with Doug, and I think I will this summer too.

Wonder why women must do quad at all...
Situation in women's skating is anyway so strange: very young girls, pre-teens are the strongest. When they grow up, they often can't skate so well technically or even need to quit.

None of them have done a clean Quad in competition, so I don't see what the point of this is. Miki's Quad may have been ratified but it wasn't complete:

Watch the slow-mo at 17 seconds in.

I don't think that we'd see a lady doing a quad in comp. Possibly Miki Ando but wouldn't be a consistent one. Mao's 4R.... I am afraid I don't think it possible. Why not S or T first? We might see a girl doing it one day again but wouldn't last long. We gotta wait another Midori Ito coming from nowhere.
