Worth noting that You's fall in the SIFAS story is caused by her attempting a triple axel, a move only twelve women have ever completed in competition. (Midori Ito was the first, in 1988, and the first to land one in the Olympics in 1992, though American audiences are probably more familiar with Tonya Harding being the first American to complete one in 1991, and Mirai Nagasu being the first American to land one in the Olympics in 2018.) Even the single axel is the most difficult of single jumps to start with; unlike illustrated here, you go into it skating forward.
