Harding,también fue la primera mujer en la historia en hacer dos tripes axel en competencia,también la primera mujer estadounidense en realizar el tripe axel en una competencia internacional,también la primera mujer en hacer el tripe axel en un programa corto y la primera mujer en hacer una combinación de tripe axel con doble toe

[@blen9202]

Mao asada was the first to land 3 triple axels in one competition not a single program, she did do 2 in a single program though in her 2010 free skate!

Such an iconic moment in Olympic history ❤️ she's such a wonderful skater and human being

[@paulief.biggie5459]

Yes! She is humble and silly. Such a great personality!

[@JuanLopez-uh7kt]

@@paulief.biggie5459 she is far from humble, pretty petty and disrespectful. She says she the best in the world and she’s far from it.

​@@JuanLopez-uh7kt when exactly did she say it?

[@JuanLopez-uh7kt]

@@HelloKitty-kb7ji on the Red Carpet with Adam Rippon. The interviewer asked her what she thought Tonya Harding and the new movie “I Tonya”. She responded with “Margo needed more beer and cigarette smoke in her hair if she truly wanted to portray Tonya Harding, and the producer should have just called me if they needed someone who knows how to land a triple axel”…..as she giggles like a playground bully.

[@KLS397]

One of my favourite performances in whole figure skating history. What an amanzing moment. Great Mirai! I love that her opening triple axel was perfectly in connection with the crescendo of the music, like a suspense effect before her landing. Wow, she can be proud of herself for all her life!

[@Rachel-rs7jn]

I know what happens, yet every time I find myself breathless with anticipation during those opening bars of music waiting for the triple axel, and cheering every time she lands a jump. One of my favorite-all time moments in the sport.

[@phiengphathaimaniphone9953]

She is the one and only woman landed 3A in the Olympic 2018

[@graigmellon7874]

I was also impressed that in the replays, Team Canada's reaction (especially Meagan Duhamel) to Mirai Nagasu landing the triple axel was a thing of beauty to watch. This is why that no matter what country you're from, supporting skaters from other countries is what brings everyone together, especially for the Olympic Games.

[@mi-a-pf271]

Repeatedly I come back to see this perfomance. So emotional and exciting. Mirai, you are the best!

[@mikeg8375]

This was so exciting to watch because everyone knew how hard she worked for this. A lot of people had totally written her off.

[@mrpepero]

YES FINALLY THEY UPLOADED THIS

[@gjay1206]

Mirai has a tendency to land wobbly on her jumps but seem to always save it with her amazing balance.

[@まゆ-p1k1y]

“Mirai ”means “future” in Japanese. Her skating was powerful and joyful. I love her forever.

[@henriquemonteiro7245]

Freaking love that performance

[@OwlcityloveBooboo]

That’s so incredible and she’s an amazing figure skater ⛸⛸🥰😎😆🤩

[@Mariannneuh]

4:45 her joy is visible after she lands her 3A, it's so heartwarming!

[@DeepSeas..]

That wasn’t the 3A lmao it was at 1:10. She was happy because she finished all of her jumps successfully.

[@marianlizamientus3139]

A stunning program. Beautiful jumps.

[@Roussepetitetete]

I cry every time

[@Daphnis_et_Chloe]

What's amazing about her is that she learned the triple axel after her adolescent body changes and succeeded in it. There must have been many difficulties along the way, but her efforts did not betray her.

[@phillyphill512]

Team Canada's reaction was awesome.

[@lisas.7939]

[@cameliarosner8064]

Tremendous accomplishment off Marai Nagasu, there is no doubt about that. But I just can't stand the title of the video... history isnt only made by the USA. She made American history. Will the first female Canadian, Italian or Belgian skater who lands a 3A receive the same recognition???

[@erin6621]

She was also the first woman to skate a clean 8 triple skate at the Olympics, since Mao had calls on her jumps previously, if it makes you feel any better.

[@pingouindede5488]

The myth of american exceptionalism....

[@sgeetha7350]

@Stone Prum That would be Midori Ito...

[@niln7967]

@Stone Prum lol nice try 😂😂I'm not even Japanese but your comment is so funny, Mao Asada's all 3 3axell in vancouver were clean ,and Midori Ito's was beyond clean its still called the best 3axel ,Mao did it a decade before Nagasu &Midori before she even born so stop lying ,that's pathetic.

[@Amm.Climbs]

Considering Americans like her make up the robust cross cultural demographics that continue to make ACTUAL America really amazing- YES WE WILL CONTINUE CELEBRATING AMERICANS.

[@marinadela1361]

While the axel was very impressive, to me it was the spins after it that were the most beautiful part of the performance.

Im still sad that she got evicted on Big brother already :/

She could do a 3A but didn't compete it in short and free? This was team event it seems. What a waste.

[@musicalperson17]

She did go for it, but in the short program she stepped out of the landing, and in the free she balked the takeoff and only did a waltz jump instead. Still amazing she landed it in the team event

[@Judexxxxxjjjjj]

Why do the Russians land triple axel like it’s something ordinary

[@gdewiram-reinaya7227]

It's probably because they are used to accomplish somethig big, also partly because their triple axel isnt as big lol

[@erin6621]

Kamila was the only Russian to land it at the Olympics, but it got overshadowed bc of the doping controversy.
