On paper, the 3axel is the easier jump. It has to come down to speed of rotation. Most ladies can't rely on the height that doing 3axels and quads require like men do. Ladies require very fast rotations. This is why many ladies skaters work on the quad salchow. It can create the fastest rotations.hydroradi said:It seems odd that Miki and Sasha are training for the quad salchow and not the triple axel.
Isn't the triple axel an easier jump?

is it the upper-body strength thing?

Huh? Where did you get this number? It seems totally arbitrary to me.nthuz said:The quad salchow has a difficulty rating of 6 and a triple axle has a difficulty of 10.
