quadruple jump
A "quadruple jump" refers to a specific type of jump in figure skating where the skater performs four complete rotations in the air before landing. This highly technical move is one of the most difficult jumps in the sport, requiring exceptional strength, speed, and precision. It is typically executed during competitive routines to showcase a skater's skill and athleticism.
In competitive figure skating, the quadruple jump is often attempted by elite skaters, such as Nathan Chen and Yuzuru Hanyu. Successfully landing a quadruple jump can significantly enhance a skater's score in competitions, making it a coveted element in their performances.
