Jumps to the Beat

tokoyami · Nov 9, 2018

My favorite thing in FS is when a skater executes a jump PERFECTLY timed with the music. So I want all the examples of skaters doing this.

And by examples I mean that I really want the most exquisitely timed jump

Some examples for this are Trusova's 3Lz3Lo in her Kill Bill SP, Keegan Messing's solo 3A in his 2018 Canadian Nats FS, Yuzuru Hanyu's 4T in his Phantom of the Opera FS (2014 GPF), Shoma Uno's 3Aeu3F in his 2018 FS, and many many more!!

I also love when they time a jump during a lull in the music - Patrick Chan did this in his 2017 FS iirc and the other time I can think of on the top of my head of this happening is Yuzuru's 4T in the second half of his Hope and Legacy FS.

Gimme gimme! (if you can provide examples of this happening, not just the names of skaters that do this often that would be fantastic)

Alina Zagitova! A lot of jumps across her programs are timed to the beat. Her Carmen this season and also her Olympic free skate

Sasha Cohen's 3lutz/2toe in her debut of Malaguena in 2002. Dick Button comments on it:

The flip was pretty musical too. Really, this whole performance was musical as feck.

Yuna's opening 3F+3T for her Scheherazade program was breathtaking. The suspense that builds up with the violin and then that huge combination followed by this glorious euphoric music. I get goosebumps every time I think about it.

Alyona's 2A + falling leaf https://youtu.be/qNqkzHtJQF4?t=47
she hits pretty much all the muscial accents in the first half (even changing spin positions match up with the music) She's really incredible

Every jump and everything that Yuna did in Adios Nonino was to the beat. Even the three-turns and the crossovers, the flick of her wrist.

If you're looking for jumps timed to the music, Yuna Kim is the one to watch. I still hold Yuna as the most musical skater in my book. I could give you a dozen examples. Nay, I WILL give you a dozen examples!

Mai Mihara's three jump combo in her 2017 Worlds FS: https://youtu.be/KiUxGTWxghM?t=149
Rika Kihira's final salchow in her FS at NHK!!! Timed so nicely after the music started to fade: https://youtu.be/CZ6tqNyS3tU?t=266 (giving you part of her choreo sequence because it's such a nice build up)
Satoko Miyahara's final two jumping passes in her FS at SA this year. The flip of the combo was landed right on the beat, as was her double axel: https://youtu.be/jbhCuSDx1yI?t=228
Kaori Sakamoto's opening combination - take off was to the beat and the landings matched the tempo/rhythm (?): https://youtu.be/qcSM0QsjQ9g?t=62
Bonus: her loop after the choreo sequence: https://youtu.be/g9xPL1mow3A?t=238
Marin Honda's SP at SA this year. Double axel + kick at the end was very musical: https://youtu.be/iBBBvBw7egU?t=83

As you can see I'm basically looking to add every single Japanese ladies skater to this list. More to come if I have time!

Adios Nonino will forever be my favorite piece of Tango music thanks to Yuna Kim.

Yuhana Yokoi's opening 2A in her free skate this season (POTO regardless).

Now that I have time, a few examples:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oeya_bPe53Y

And then there's this: https://youtu.be/ZHbADOamI3s?t=286 Even though I pointed out one part, the whole thing is legendary and worth watching.

Might I add, that the section I pointed out in the second program, is copied by Brezina in the opening movements of his SP this season. :rolleye:
