A
quad, or
quadruple, is a
figure skating jump with four or more, but fewer than five, revolutions. Most quadruple jumps have exactly four revolutions; the quadruple
Axel has 4½ revolutions, although no figure skater to date has completed this jump, either in practice or in competition. The quadruple
toe loop and quadruple
Salchow are the two most commonly skated. The first quad
Lutz was ratified in 2011.
