When To Use

�� does Lutz 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.
