How Is the Quad Axel Even Possible?

I don’t know, he’s like, figure skating’s Michael Jordan. Victoria Harmon: When we lift off for these jumps, we’re lifting up against a lot of pressure. Victoria Harmon: For a quad axle, for example, he is lifting up on around, I would say, 500 pounds of pressure. He's getting up very high in the air, almost three feet up in the air. He has to get up higher than his triple axel so he can get another rotation in. He is spinning his revolutions at a velocity of, I think it’s 180 miles per hour. Victoria Harmon: And when he's landing on one blade, he's landing on 1,000, almost 1,000 pounds of pressure on one blade. So I've been saying Ilia Malinin doing this quad axle, it's actually, since you take off forwards, it's four and a half revolutions. So him doing this, he's doing the impossible. He's the first man, the only man, to ever do this jump successfully in competition. He’s like, I don’t know, he’s like figure skating’s Michael Jordan.
