Watch: 17-Year-Old American Vincent Zhou Lands First Quad Lutz in Olympic History
What an Olympics it’s been for 17-year-old American athletes.
Snowboarders Chloe Kim and Red Gerard took home gold in their events earlier this week. Now, teen figure skater Vincent Zhou has made Olympic history by landing a quadruple Lutz.
Zhou is the first skater to ever land the jump at the Olympics.
No skater has successfully landed a quad Axel in competition, making the Lutz the most difficult quad jump you’ll see at the Olympics
Fellow American Nathan Chen, who is just 18, also has a quad Lutz in his routine and landed two of them during his free skate at Skate America earlier this season.
