By googling I found an article about Yu-Na's 3A practice scene in 2006 with some comments.

You can see from the video that she almost did it and it was huge. Too bad she had to quit practicing it due to injuries!
That was a pathetic attempt, IMHO. Sigh, just because Mao can do a 3A and Yu-Na will never be able to do one doesn't mean that you have to grasp at straws to make it sound as if oh, Yu-Na would so have a 3A right now if only she didn't have to stop practicing it due to injuries.
Well... I really hope that the biggest pressure for her is and will be when she skated at GPF08 in her homeland.Come to think of it I really don't think we've seen Kim perform under real pressure...
3A can't be easy. She was struggling to do it, but in the end it looks like it was very wise to stop doing so.What I don't understand is why doesn't she work on a 3A? Seriously, she's got the best jumps out there ~ height, distance, rotation, speed, et al, perfect ~ so why not even take it one further: the 3A? She could easily do it. All her triples are fabulous, especially her 3/3 combos.!!!!!!
Well, there is a world besides figure skating. She will participate in Worlds 2010, no matter what results she'll have at Olympics. After this season she will decide whether to retire or not.I hope to God she doesn't quit after the Olympics, but rather stays on for another 4 yrs. like Katarina Witt did. This lady is too special to just retire. Stay on & match Michelle Kwan's numerous World Titles & then go one further & match Katarina Witt. Become the Sonja Henie of this era.
I just love how you made up things that he didn't mean, wrote "never be able" and mentioned Mao out of place.That was a pathetic attempt, IMHO.

Sour, much?That was a pathetic attempt, IMHO. Sigh, just because Mao can do a 3A and Yu-Na will never be able to do one doesn't mean that you have to grasp at straws to make it sound as if oh, Yu-Na would so have a 3A right now if only she didn't have to stop practicing it due to injuries.
Exactly. steyn just expressed regret that YuNa had to stop practicing it or risk worse injuries and losing everything else she actually had (which was a lot.) The quality of YuNa's attempted 3axel is beautiful and I'm happy to see the progress she did make on it. By herself. In Korea.Andalusia

Then I vaguely remembered that Yu-Na had actually practiced 3A, so I googled to confirm it. I thought the article I found would be a good answer to Nadine's question and I posted it here. What's wrong with it? Sigh.What I don't understand is why doesn't she work on a 3A?

In case of Midori...Her knees are not good, maybe, because of Her 3Axel.
Midori's 3Axel was WAY HUGE & Great thing.
That was Perfect one, I've ever seen in the women's filed.
But She has no masterpiece. Just Jump was all that Midori.
