Quad ( Figure Skating ) - wikipedia Quad ( Figure Skating ) For other uses, see Quad ( disambiguation ). A quad, or quadruple, is a figure skating jump with at least four but less than five revolutions. Most quadruple jumps have exactly four revolutions ; the quadruple Axel has 41⁄2 revolutions, although no figure skater to date has completed this jump in competition. The quadruple toe loop and quadruple Salchow are the two most commonly skated in the discipline. Quadruple jumps have become increasingly common among World and Olympic level men 's single skaters, to the point that not having one in a program has come to be seen as a severe handicap. The first person to land a ratified quadruple jump in competition was Canadian Kurt Browning in 1988. In 2002, Miki Ando became the first woman to do so, and she remains one of only two women to have landed a ratified quadruple jump in competition.
