Talk:Loop jump

Comparative difficulty of loop jump

I don't think it's accurate that the loop jump is typically the last triple learned by skaters, and is the one most prone to errors. I see a lot of novice and junior competitors who get the loop but never get the flip or lutz at all, and I can think of just as many elite senior competitors who are/were stronger on edge jumps than the toe jumps. I think it depends on the skater and the coaching they get. In any case, with only anecdotal evidence and no references or specific statistics to cite, this kind of generalized assertion doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Dr.frog 04:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Reported Quad Loop by Adeliya Petrosian

rt.com claims: "Russian youngster Adeliya Petrosian became the first female figure skater to perform a quadruple Rittberger in competition as she appeared at the Russian Cup in the city of Perm on Friday." I think I found the judges scores on the official results page. The first element was rated 4Loq+2T with -1.05 as GOE.

I think the jump should not be mentioned in the article, because of the incomplete rotation (q) and the negative grade of execution score. But maybe there will be a 4Lo with full rotation and positive GOE in the near future. --Kallichore (talk) 19:24, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

• There are multiple clean jumps. But currently ISU does not want to see any of the Petrosian's achievements due to the political reasons far from the sports. PavelSI (talk) 19:08, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

I want to point out that on December 25 2023 at the 2023 Russian Figure Skating Championships (results here) Petrosian showed 4Lo and (4Lo+2T) with positive GOE. So my posting from early December 2021 is outdated. The quad loop from Petrosian is mentioned in the ISU Figure Skating Media Guide 2022/23 (here). --Kallichore (talk) 19:39, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
