Female Skaters Who Have Landed a Quad?

[Johar]

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

I know of (the ovbious: ) Miki Ando, Junior Grand Prix Final 2002, and Sasha Cohen, Skate America 2001 practice.

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.

Didn't Tara Lipinski land quads in practices too?

 

[skatergirl45]

I remember back in 2006 JW there was spectulation that Mao would try a quad loop. Has she ever landed one 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.

 

[museksk8r]

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

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.

 

[dorispulaski]

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.

 

[cera]

well, i came across this vid on youtube that shows mao asada training a quad in her junior days...

they don't look as fully rotated as miki's tho.

Welcome to the forum, Cera. Post often, post long! :agree:

 

[kappa_1]

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.

So far we have:

Nancy Kerrigan
Mao Asada
Sasha Cohen
Surya Bonaly
Miki Ando
Tonya Harding
Kimmie Meissner

 

[McWicked]

Kimmie, quad toe in practise.

 

[Fossi]

Johar- don't forget TARA.

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.

 

[GoldMedalist]

So far we have:

Nancy Kerrigan
Mao Asada
Sasha Cohen
Surya Bonaly
Miki Ando
Tonya Harding
Kimmie Meissner

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.
