JPN scores world's 1st guadruple loop for women?

[Taro Toporific]

I was watching NHK News this morning [Jan 8] and I saw a mega-cute, 16 yr-old Japanese girl perform the world's first four-rotation jumpin competition for women --- the quadruple toe loop.

Does anybody know the details?

Quadruple jump can throw you for a loop

No. 6 on USATODAY's 10 hardest things to do in sports is landing a quad in figure skating. Here's why it's so hard, from a scientific perspective, from an expert athlete's perspective and from an average joe's.

Only male competitors accomplished the quadruple toe loop in competition until Dec. 14, when 14-year-old Miki Ando of Japan executed a clean quadruple salchow during free skating at the Junior Grand Prix final in the Hague, Netherlands.

She's only 14 you pervert!
