A quadruple jump or quad is a figure skating jump with at least four (but fewer than five) revolutions. [1] All quadruple jumps have four revolutions, except for the quadruple Axel, which has four and a half revolutions. The quadruple toe loop and quadruple Salchow are the two most commonly performed quads.
Additionally, the difference in base value between a triple Axel and a triple Lutz is 2.2 points, whereas between a quadruple toe and a triple Axel it is only 1.6 points. The degree of difficulty, however, between a triple Axel and a quad is greater than the degree of difficulty between a triple Lutz and a triple Axel. [citation needed]
Kurt Browning represented Canada in three Winter Olympics, 1988 (finishing 8th overall), 1992 (6th) and 1994 (5th). [citation needed] Browning won the Canadian novice championships in 1983 and was the Canadian junior champion in 1985.
[38] [41] In competition the base value of a single Lutz is 0.60; the base value of a double Lutz is 2.10; the base value of a triple Lutz is 5.90; and the base value of a quadruple Lutz is 11.50. [36] A "cheated" Lutz jump without an outside edge is commonly called a "flutz". [41]
In shooter games, rocket jumping is the technique of using the knockback of an explosive weapon, most often a rocket launcher, to launch the shooter into the air. [1] The aim of this technique is to reach heights, distances and speed that standard character movement cannot achieve.
Pair lift groups [5]; Groups Position Notes One: Armpit hold position: Two: Waist hold position: If the lift is accomplished with a simple loop-type take-off and the woman position is vertical, with her head up facing either direction and with no other variations, the lift is categorized as a Group Two position; any other position by the woman is categorized as a Group Three position.
The toe loop jump is the simplest jump in the sport of figure skating.It was invented in the 1920s by American professional figure skater Bruce Mapes.The toe loop is accomplished by skating forward on the inside edge of the blade; the skater then switches to a backward-facing position before their takeoff, which is accomplished from a back outside edge with assistance from the toe pick on the ...
The Lutz jump is named after figure skater Alois Lutz from Vienna, Austria, who first performed it in 1913. [2] [3] In competitions, points are awarded based on the number of rotations completed during the jump. The base value of a successful single Lutz is 0.60 points, a double Lutz is 2.10 points, a triple Lutz is 5.90 points, a quadruple ...
