 Tonya Harding was famously the first American woman to land a triple axel in competition. That moment, which serves as one of the dramatic centerpieces of the movie I, Tonya, took place at the 1991 U.S. figure skating championships. But Harding was never able to pull off her trademark jump in the Olympic Games. Twenty-seven years later, Mirai Nagasu became the first American to accomplish that feat, sticking the landing during the ladies’ free skate of the Pyeongchang Games’ team competition.

 1998 gold medalist Tara Lipinski’s commentary on NBC: “YES!” 
  
 Nagasu said in the run-up to these games that the jump was “worth the risk … and worth going down in history for.” In an interview with NBC’s Andrea Joyce after she skated on Monday, Nagasu said that “to nail that triple axel, I tripped a couple of times going into it because I was so nervous, but to tell myself, No, I’m going to go for it 100 percent and not pull back. That was really special for me.” 
  
 Brian Orser was the first man to do a triple axel at the Olympics, accomplishing that milestone at the 1984 Sarajevo Games. Four years later, Japan’s Midori Ito became the first woman to do it in competition. In 1992, Ito landed the jump during her free skate program at the Albertville Olympics. 
  
 Ito, who also fell twice in Albertville while attempting the maneuver, had to settle for silver behind the United States’ Kristi Yamaguchi. 
  
 Eighteen years later, another Japanese skater, Mao Asada, landed three triple axels in Vancouver. Asada, too, won the silver, as those jumps weren’t enough to push her past South Korea’s Kim Yuna. Here’s one of those triple axels, from Asada’s short program. 
  
 Like Ito and Asada, Nagasu isn’t expected to win gold in Pyeongchang. But she had it exactly right: The triple axel was worth the risk, and she’s now gone down in history.

 GANGNEUNG, South Korea — Eight years ago, Mirai Nagasu was a 16-year-old Olympian with big dreams who finished fourth at the Vancouver Games and thought the best was yet to come. 
  
 Four years ago, Nagasu was a 20-year-old figure skating veteran plunging into the depths of despair after being left home from the Sochi Olympics by a committee decision. 
  
 Today, the 24-year-old Nagasu is riding high on the shoulders of her sport, having accomplished something only two women before her have done in the history of figure skating: land the vaunted triple axel in the Olympics. 
  
 Less than 30 seconds into her long program in the team competition Monday, Nagasu took off for the jump she has admirably been trying all season, with mixed results. This time, there was no doubt. She powered into the air with such strength and landed with such surety that for a moment, you wondered if the eye was playing tricks on you. It looked so easy, with so much space between Nagasu and the ice, could it really have been the triple axel?

 Yes, it really was. Nagasu became the first American woman to land the most difficult of the six triple jumps at the Olympics. Japan’s Midori Ito landed it in Albertville in 1992, and Japan’s Mao Asada landed it three times in Vancouver in 2010 and once in Sochi in 2014. 
  
 That’s it. That’s the elite company Nagasu found herself in as she gathered her thoughts after becoming such a key player in the United States’ successful effort to win a second consecutive Olympic team bronze medal. 
  
 “I am very fortunate that I’m American so I’m the first U.S. lady,” Nagasu said. “This is a journey that started with me wanting to become better and improve and change myself. It doesn’t happen immediately. It was rough. I would have dreams that I could do this jump, then I would try it on ice and I would fall. But I knew in my heart this day would come.” 
  
 With a start that historic, Nagasu was on her way. The axel was the first of eight triple jumps in a meticulous long program, perhaps the finest of her career, and certainly the best when it mattered most, helping to seal the Americans’ team bronze medal that had looked a bit precarious overnight with Italy closing in.

 Nagasu ended up beating everyone in a very strong field except for OAR’s Alina Zagitova, the sport’s new 15-year-old “it” girl. The judges can’t get enough of her, throwing points at her as if they were flowers flying from the fans in the stands: a whopping total of 158.08. 
  
 Nagasu was next with 137.53, a personal best that just beat Canada’s Gabrielle Daleman, the reigning world bronze medalist, with 137.14, and Italy’s Carolina Kostner, the revered 2014 Olympic bronze medalist, with 134.00. 
  
 This is rarified air for Nagasu, and it propels her at least into the conversation for the women’s individual competition later in the Games. Zagitova and countrywoman Evgenia Medvedeva, the two-time defending world champion, are expected to battle for the gold and silver medal, with a pack of strong skaters right behind them. 
  
 As of now, Nagasu has joined that group. The triple axel is that much of a game-changer. 
  
 “Today was a really unforgettable experience,” Nagasu said. “From the beginning, I was very nervous because this is a team event so I felt responsibility. It is a job. I owe it to my teammates.” 
  
 Then she delivered, and she almost couldn't believe she did. 
  
 “This is awesome,” she said. “I remember watching (2014 U.S. Olympian) Gracie Gold in Sochi being the last person to skate and I was like, oh my god, I don’t know how she did it. It is a lot of pressure to know my teammates are relying on me and to have to pull out a good performance. It is a lot of expectation so to deliver on it like I did …”

 The 24-year-old from Arcadia, California, skated first of the five women and led her routine with the triple axel 21 seconds in. The feat drew huge cheers from the crowd at the Gangneung Ice Arena.

 Nagasu completed a flawless routine, pumped both fists as she finished and got a standing ovation from the excited crowd. 
  
 Although Canada won team skate gold, Nagasu was the star of the night, and the Americans took bronze behind the Olympic Athletes from Russia. 
  
 Not only did her teammates rise in applause, but so did skaters from other nations, and not simply because she landed the triple axel so few women even attempt. 
  
 Nagasu's career hit several roadblocks since she finished fourth at the 2010 Olympics, including when she was bumped from the U.S. team for Sochi in favor of Ashley Wagner by a federation committee. 
  
 Like Nagasu, Adam Rippon was left off the U.S. roster in 2010. And like Nagasu, he turned in a stellar performance Monday, landing both triple axels in his program.

 "I just remember four years ago, Mirai and I were in a dark place. Honestly, we were depressed that we weren't at the [Olympics]," said Rippon, who choreographed Nagasu's gala program at the 2014 nationals, which she performed hours after learning she hadn't made the team. "I told her as we were going through that, Mirai, I'm so lucky to have you by my side. We're going to get through this together." 
  
 In the wake of that rejection, Nagasu turned to Colorado Springs-based coach Tom Zakrajsek, who challenged her to become an even better competitor. They set out in their first session together four years ago to learn the jump, which took Nagasu about two years to master. She practices it about 30 times a day, according to Zakrajsek. 
  
 Nagasu has struggled with inconsistency throughout her career, but Zakrajsek wasn't worried about his student on Monday. 
  
 "Today was different," he said. "Today I knew Mirai didn't need a lot of help. I could tell she was in a good place backstage in the off-ice warm-up. She just seemed very present." 
  
 "I don't know if you could tell -- it was more something I could feel -- but to nail it the way I did, even out of the corner of my eye, I could see my teammates standing out of excitement," Nagasu said. "And at that moment I wanted to stop the music and get off, but I still had my whole program ahead of me, and to complete the performance to the best of my ability is really exciting." 
  
 The judges rewarded her with a season-best score of 137.53, which helped the U.S. defend the bronze medal it won in Sochi. Nagasu pumped her fists immediately after her music was done and skated over to her teammates, whose cheers during the program could be heard above the music and helped Nagasu through it. Rippon was in tears as she finished her skate. 
  
 "I was very, very nervous, especially because this is the team event. I owe it to my teammates as well," Nagasu said after her skate. "I heard them say, 'Start, start, start!' especially Alexa [Scimeca-Knierim] because she has a very distinct voice. Right before my last jump, she said to me, 'You did it, girl!' I was like, I still have one more jump, but it was a nice little giggle at the end." 
  
 Japan's Midori Ito landed the first triple axel at the 1992 Olympics, followed by Mao Asada in 2010, a fact that was not lost on Nagasu. 
  
 "Midori Ito, Mao Asada and now Mirai Nagasu, all Japanese heritage," she said. "But I'm really fortunate that I'm American, so I'll be the first U.S. lady." 
  
 She will return to the ice in the women's competition on Feb. 21, where she is a dark horse for a bronze. The memory of this performance will drive her. 
  
 "When she goes into the short program, she's going to have that confidence of knowing that she did it already," Zakrajsek said. "And that's a little monkey off her back."

Solution:
The elitist of clubs welcomed a third member on Monday: American figure skater Mirai Nagasu became the third woman to even land a triple axel at the Olympics. You can watch the jump here. It came as part of an effort that saw the US women secure a team bronze, and it places her alongside Midori Ito, who landed the jump in 1992, and Mao Asada, who managed the feat in 2010 and 2014; both were skating for Japan. It's not the first time Nagasu has skated for America, but the 24-year-old's past attempts haven't been so headline-grabbing. She ended up fourth in Vancouver in 2010 and missed out on Sochi in 2014. The Washington Post reports her dream of landing the jump was what brought her back to the ice after that Sochi "snub." ESPN echos that series of events, and reports it took Nagasu two years to master the jump, which she attempts about 30 times a day in training. Writing for USA Today, Christine Brennan sees the jump as making her a contender for an individual medal (that competition starts Feb. 21), though she notes bets are on Russian skaters Alina Zagitova ("the sport’s new 15-year-old 'it' girl") and Evgenia Medvedeva taking gold and silver. Slate reports that Ito and Asada both ended up with silver after their own triple axels. As for the team competition, Canada took gold and Olympic Athletes from Russia took silver. The Post notes only one other American woman has landed a triple axel in competition: Tonya Harding did so at the 1991 world championships. Brian Orser was the first to ever land a triple axel at the games, in Sarajevo in 1984.
