 Entry to a triple lutz jump, just before the toe pick. Note the deep left back outside edge. The lutz is a figure skating jump, named after Alois Lutz (1898-1918), an Austrian skater who performed it in 1913. It is a toepick-assisted jump with an entrance from a back outside edge and landing on the back outside edge of the opposite foot. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Rotation Landing A figure skating jump is determined by the launch, landing, and number of revolutions completed. ...
Lutz technique (The following description assumes a counter-clockwise jumper; for a clockwise jumper, reverse left and right.) The skater typically performs a long glide on a left backward outside edge in a wide arc into the corner of the rink. Just prior to jumping, the skater reaches back with the right arm and the right foot and uses the right toepick to vault into the air, before performing a full turn in the air and landing on the right back outside edge.
In addition to the standard entry described above, it has become common for skaters to do a lutz from a footwork entry, for example, a mohawk or 3 turn followed by a step to the left back outside edge and immediate pick for the jump. In this case the jump is more commonly done from a straight-line approach down the center of the rink, rather than placed in a corner. A mohawk is a turn in figure skating that involves a change of foot but not a change of edge. ...
A 3 turn is a figure skating element which involves both a change in direction and a change in edge. ...
The lutz is similar to the flip and the two jumps can be hard for the novice viewer to tell apart. The flip is initiated on the inside edge on a curve that has the same sense as the jump's rotation. The lutz is initiated on the same foot, but on an outside edge. The flip jump (usually just flip) is a jump in figure skating in which the counter-clockwise jumper takes off from the left back inside edge and lands on the right back outside edge (reverse feet for the clockwise jumper). ...
The lutz is considered one of the more difficult jumps because its entry is counterrotated -- that is, the rotation of the jump is opposite to that of the entry edge. The body's natural impulse is to "cheat" or begin to pre-rotate the jump by veering off at the last minute onto the inside edge, which really makes the cheated jump a flip. For this reason, the cheated lutz is often called a flutz. On the other hand, skaters with excellent lutz technique will actually deepen the outside edge as they reach back for the pick.
Lutz history In the "old days" of skating, some skaters carried the idea of the lutz's counterrotated entry to an extreme by doing this jump in the opposite direction than their other jumps. For example, Sonja Henie did clockwise lutz jumps and the remainder of her jumps and spins in a counterclockwise direction. This practice disappeared with the development of multi-rotation jumps. Sonja Henie (April 8, 1912 - October 12, 1969) was a Norwegian figure skater and actress. ...
Today the lutz is often done in double or triple versions. Donald Jackson of Canada was the first skater to execute a triple lutz jump in competition, at the 1962 World Figure Skating Championships; Denise Biellmann is credited as the first woman to do so, in 1978. No skater has yet landed a clean quadruple lutz jump in competition. Donald Jackson was a Canadian figure skater. ...
