More About Lutz
What doesLutz mean?
The Lutz is a figure skating jump in which the skater jumps from the back outside edge of one skate, rotates (at least once) in the air, and lands on the back outside edge of the other skate. It is sometimes spelled uncapitalized, as lutz.
The jump can be performed with multiple rotations, resulting in a double Lutz (two rotations), triple Lutz (three rotations), or quad (or quadruple) Lutz (four rotations).
The Lutz is one of the six recognized jumps in competitive figure skating. Because it is done with the use of the skate’s toe-pick, it is classified as a toe jump (along with the toe loop and flip; the loop, Salchow, and axel are classified as edge jumps).
The Lutz is considered one of the most difficult jumps to perform.
Example: To the casual viewer, the Lutz and Salchow may look similar, but they require much different techniques.
Where doesLutz come from?
The first records of Lutz come from the 1930s. It is named for Alois Lutz, an Austrian figure skater who first performed the jump in 1913.
The Lutz has remained one of the staple jumps of figure skating since. In 2011, U.S. figure skater Brandon Mroz performed the first quadruple Lutz ever recorded in official competition.

I’m not always convinced TV sports play-by-play people add a lot for viewing pleasure but for Winter Olympics, they’re a necessity. I can’t count rotations. I don’t know if it was a backside 1080 or a backside 720. I don’t know if it was a triple lutz or a quad toe loop.
