About Midori. There is this question that I couldn't find the answer: how could she jump that high?
Two word: speed & attack. Midori goes into her jumps faster than most other skaters. And she attacks her jumps, and is determined to land them.
Her timing is also perfect, and she's actually a strong woman instead of a slim petite skater (which always surprised me how Asada managed to execute the 3A).
Ito seemed resolute that her gender didn't matter. If the men could do triple axels, that meant executing triple axels were able to be executed, so she didn't even care that she was a woman - she just went for it.
