The Top 10 Triple Axel Jumpers in Womens Figure Skating: 22/23 Season

This is a data-driven ranking of the best triple axel jumpers in womens figure skating for the 22/23 season. To be eligible for this ranking, a skater must have had six or more triple axel attempts during the season. The basis for this ranking is PoM (“Percentage of Max”), a metric calculated by dividing the number of points a skater received for a jump or set of jumps by the maximum number of points they could have received. Specifically, the basis for this ranking is season 3A PoM, which is a skater’s 3A PoM across all of their 3A attempts in a season. One advantage of PoM is that it factors in not only GOE, but also the base value impact of any calls that a jump received. While not relevant to this particular analysis, PoM also makes it easier to compare jump performance across different seasons and scale of values. It is important to note that when PoM is calculated for a set of jumps, it is a measure of both quality and consistency. This means that a skater with memorable jumps but uneven consistency may not necessarily rank higher than a skater with less noteworthy jumps but better consistency. Some further explanation of PoM... • For the 22/23 season, the maximum score for a 3A, ignoring bonuses, was 12.00. So, as a hypothetical example, a 3A with a score of 9.00 would have a PoM of 9.00 / 12.00 = 75.0%. • Similarly, a set of three 3As with scores of 6.00, 8.00, and 10.00 would have a PoM of (6.00 + 8.00 + 10.00) / (12.00 x 3) = 66.7%. • When calculating PoM for a 3A jumped as part of a combination or sequence, the base value impact of the non-3A part of the jump pass is excluded from both the numerator and denominator. (It wouldn’t be excluded if you were calculating PoM for the entire jump pass, however.) For example, for a 3A+2T, the 1.30 point impact of the 2T would be excluded. Also, it is a rare occurrence, but if a jump pass’s GOE was based on the non-3A part of the jump pass, it would be recalculated to be based on the 3A. • Second-half bonuses are factored into the calculation of PoM. However, other bonuses, such as those sometimes seen in certain novice and domestic competitions, are generally excluded. Repetition penalties and fall deductions are also excluded from the calculation of PoM. • Popped attempts at the jump being analyzed are not factored in due to the trickiness of collecting data for them. The analysis underlying this ranking takes into account all competitions covered by SkatingScores, the invaluable and fairly comprehensive database of international and domestic competition results. However, SkatingScores is missing some significant Russian domestic events, especially at the novice level. In light of this, the following events have also been included in this analysis... All-Russian Competitions taking place in Moscow and St. Petersburg Russian Novice Nationals Moscow Novice Championships St. Petersburg Championships Winter Spartakiad, Prizes of Santa Claus Moscow Open Championships, City Championships, Cup, Sports Cup It is estimated that this analysis, in total, has taken into account over 95% of the ultra-cs that have been attempted this season, with those attempts missing mainly being from minor domestic events in Russia, in particular minor events outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as some minor domestic events in Japan and the United States. Lastly, it should be noted that in the case of any skater who tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, their results are invalidated for purposes of this analysis starting from the season they tested positive, and ending at the point that they were cleared to compete again by the relevant international bodies.
