Figure skating is known for its marvelous moves. There is one 【小题1】(call) the “quad Axel ” or “4A.” , which is widely considered to be the hardest jump in figure skating. In terms of difficulty, there are six 【小题2】 (type) of jumps in figure skating. The Axel (阿克塞尔跳), also known 【小题3】 the Axel Paulsen jump after its creator, is the most difficult one. It is a type of “edge jump,” 【小题4】 (mean) skaters have to skate on one side of the blade when lifting off the ice.

Derived(衍生) from the Axel jump, the quad Axel sits at the top when it comes to jump difficulty as it 【小题5】(actual) requires a skater to complete a quad Axel rotation and an extra half revolution(旋转). Among all the Axel jumps, it has a specific requirement for skaters 【小题6】(jump) up while facing forward. So in such cases, there is always an extra half turn 【小题7】 one needs to complete to ensure they land backwards.

Although no one has yet conquered the move at any competitions, the world’s high-level Japanese skater Yuzuru Hanyu had given it the 【小题8】(close) go during the Japanese national championship in 2021.
