She is the first female figure skater who has landed three triple Axel jumps in one competition, which she achieved at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

She has been credited with helping to popularize the style of figure skating that combined athleticism and artistry. Several notable athletes, including Yuzuru Hanyu and Shoma Uno have regarded Asada as a role model.
