No skater has successfully landed a quad Axel competing, making the Lutz the most difficult quad jump you will see at the Olympics
Fellow American Nathan Chen, who’s just 18, also offers a quad Lutz in the routine and landed a couple of them throughout his free skate at Skate America the 2009 season.
