Russia teen makes history with quadruple Lutz jump
Print Edition
Russia’s Aleksandra Trusova, this year’s world junior champion, made history at the weekend by executing a quadruple Lutz jump for the first time in women’s skating.
The 14-year-old Trusova, a pupil of renowned Russian coach Eteri Tutberidze, also performed a combination of quadruple-triple toe loops to collect 146.7 points for her free routine to win the ISU Junior Grand Prix event at Kaunas, Lithuania. The jump named after Austrian skater Alois Lutz, who first performed it in 1913, is one of the most difficult elements in figure skating and was previously performed at official events by men only. Trusova said she would continue to work to improve her free routine performance. “I was very nervous as it was the first tournament of the season and my first attempt ever to perform three quads in my free routine,” Trusova said. “In general I’m pleased with my results at this event but I committed some mistakes in my free routine. I will keep on working to improve my performance.”
