Is Moa Asada the only woman to land a 3 axel in combination?

Is there a reason where there are so few flutzers in men but on the other side, why there are more lippers than in ladies?
The double Axel and the double jump of the year were specified in the 1990-1991 and 1992-1993 season when Tonya and Midori did their 3A2T combinations.
I don't think anyone's proven anything, but the main theory I've heard is that it's down to upper body strength. Skaters who don't have the strength to check their pre-rotation and hold the outside edge will come back onto the inside edge for their take off. Conversely, skaters with a lot of upper body strength who can check the rotation really well may end up overdoing it on their flip and coming onto the outside edge instead.
Wasn't Petrenko one of those who used to do two triple Axels in the SP?
Wow! That 3A-3T definitely belongs in the "Favourite Jump Combination" thread.Yes!

You might as well call him Viktor "Axel" "Petrenko. He did 3A-2T, 3A, 2A.

The Shibutanis are Japanese-American. Maia was born in NYC, and Alex in Boston.
GS has a fan thread devoted to them:
