Female Skaters Who Have Landed a Quad?

[blue dog]

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.

The point is, we're answering johar's query--a "list" of female skaters who have landed a quad in competition or in practice--not a list of ratified quads.

Carolina Kostner landed 4 Salchow in practice

 

[Spun Silver]

Kimmie, quad toe in practise.

Any documentation on this? I've never heard of it and a fan page bio says she has not attempted the quad.

My gf skates at the UD. Saw her do one (my gf also figure skates so she knows the difference among the jumps) and she was also told she had tried that jump for fun too before

 

[Kasey]

How many of the "quad attempts" have actual video documentation? I think I would rather consider those to be actual "landing quads", although I doubt any of them would be clean.

^^ Sasha clearly does a 3.5 Salchow in that clip. It's so obviously cheated by a half turn. If she did that in Code of Points competition, it would be downgraded to a 3Salchow and be given negative grades of execution marks.

Worlds 1991-completes the toe and falls flat celebrating. I think it was a tad ur, and hence not ratified?

I saw that Texaco commercial from Harding,but haven't been able to find a copy of it.

Wonder why women must do quad at all...

Hey, I wonder why men must do the quad at all... It's an ugly, ugly jump.

 

[Tonichelle]

I love the quad

looks like a clean beauty.

I agree with you Tonichelle!

I can't tell how far around Sasha's quad is. Too bad the camera isn't zoomed in more. Then we could tell.
Miki's obviously had a little cheat.

I would love to see Miki land this in competition:

wow--that's one of the most beautiful quads i've seen...male or female!

 

[GoldMedalist]

Cheated, I say.

Midori Ito is the only woman that I think could have done a REAL Quad in competition if she had trained it consistently. Maybe Harding.

All these other attempts are simply attempts....some of the Quads from Bonaly and Ando look good but they have those hooked landings and just aren't quite there.

Yes, Miki's quads are beautiful :agree:

Did Midori Ito ever land a Quad ? I didn't know that. I was curious, so I looked online and couldn't find it anywhere. If you have a YouTube link or article about it, I would like to see it.

Frame by frame viewing

By the way, is there a way to view the video frame by frame on youtube ? Or otherwise to download it on your computer in order to use another player to view it ? Thanks.

quads

Tara most certainly landed a quad in practice, I remember Dick Button saying so

 

[NatachaHatawa]

I love the quad

Me too. It's thrilling.
