The "A" in Axel is always capitalized: [1] ("Jump Guidelines" 3rd paragraph), [2]. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yesopenilno ( talk • contribs).
The article alludes to Kimmie Meisner as being the first American woman to complete a triple axel in an American competition and mentions Tonya Harding having done one in an international one. This is false. Tonya Harding landed one in an American competition and was the first American woman to do so. It was the 1991 US Nationals. Could someone correct this please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hilljayne ( talk • contribs) 12:55, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Let's not get into arguing in the main article about whose triple axel attempts were cheated and whose weren't. In particular, my recollection is that both Nakano's and Nelidina's attempts were a lot more cheated than Meissner's, so I don't think it's appropriate to pick on Meissner. The important point is that, cheated or not, all of the jumps mentioned were ratified by the event referee. Dr.frog 13:04, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
This YouTube video suggests that the featured man accomplished a quadruple axel. I have no way of "frame-by-framing" the video, so I can't double check. But I wonder if quadruple axels have been accomplished, just not in competition. If that's the case, the article should be modified. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL7J79vm5BE SeanAhern 13:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad_%28figure_skating%29 This article cites a reference to someone called 'Kurt Browning' who did one in 1988. I guess either this article or that one needs to be changed, but I'm new, sorry if this reply is not how it's meant to be done. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MisterRory ( talk • contribs) 00:58, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
"Skaters will often perform a triple or quadruple axel..." There's no such thing. At least not yet. 75.15.167.170 ( talk) 00:38, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
Per WP:Verifiability, "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a reliable source, which should be cited in the article."
No sources have been provided that indicate Ando landed a triple axel at the 2002 Junior Grand Prix Final, or in any other competition. The anonymous user who keeps adding this claims they've seen it on video, but I've also seen video of Ando at this event in which her axel is clearly only a double, and not a triple. Moreover, reliable published sources indicate that Ando has only landed triple axels in practice so far. See, for instance, Ando's ISO biography; and Golden Skate article. The lengthy article on the 2002 Junior Grand Prix Final in the March 2003 issue of Blades On Ice contains 3 or 4 paragraphs on Ando's performance but mentions only the quad salchow; if she'd landed a triple axel at this event, too, it surely would have been notable enough to have been mentioned.

A throw triple Axel is mentioned but not described among the variations.-- Wetman ( talk) 23:49, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that the lead of this article is just sentences copied exactly from different parts of the article. This is not the way it's supposed to be. I should probably fix it since I mentioned it, but I'll try to do it later.— Naddruf ( talk ~ contribs) 04:25, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi everyone, so editors have, every time a female skater successfully completes a triple Axel in international competition, been adding the skaters' names and number of times it's been done. Now that it's become more common, I'm wondering if we should do that. I mean, as of this date (8 Nov. 2021), 17 women have successfully competed the triple Axel in competition, and the number will increase, especially as we get closer to the Olympics. I propose, then, that we cease making such a list, as has been done for other jumps. In other words, we don't list every skater who has successfully completed the easier and more commonly-performed jumps, such as the toe loop; we just list the first person who completed it. Then we can add that women completing the triple Axel has been more common in recent years, and then support it with an appropriate reference. I'm happy to make this change if my proposal gets support. Thanks to all who have been diligent as more women increase their technical abilities in figure skating.

Might want to consider the same for female skaters landing 3A at the Olympics. Abbyjjjj96 ( talk) 02:01, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Very nice, even though he fall on it, the judges accepted it being 4A. https://results.isu.org/results/season2122/owg2022/FSKMSINGLES-----------FNL-000100--_JudgesDetailsperSkater.pdf Does < means it was only triple or what? Valery Zapolodov ( talk) 07:59, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
Sorry above comment about Artur Dmitriev is me, I’m still figuring out how to use this. Yuzuru Hanyu’s 4A< should be listed as the first ratified 4A not Artur Dmitriev, to clarify. Meilin90 ( talk) 13:28, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
I added this article to the scope of the Yuzuru Hanyu task force and added a section about Hanyu's Axel jump, which is notable for its very high quality, variety, and unmatched consistency over more than a decade.
I revamped the structure of the article a bit, moving the table of firsts to the bottom of the page. It is generally discouraged to place statistics tables in the prose section of an article, unless it is essential for the understanding of the surrounding text, which is not the case here. I also made the formatting of cited books and journals uniform across the article. Online sources yet need some adjustments, I will tackle that task later. I plan to bring the full article to good or featured status as soon as my work on Hanyu's article series is completed. Henni147 ( talk) 15:12, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
