quadruple jump

Four midair spins

A quadruple jump is a figure skating jump with four rotations in the air before landing.

The most difficult jumps in competitive skating, quadruples require exceptional height, speed, and body control: She landed a clean quadruple toe loop.

Different quadruples—Salchow, toe loop, Lutz—vary in difficulty based on takeoff technique.
