Kurt is in the Guiness Book of World Records for landing the first quadruple jump in competition. Where and when did he land it?
Yes, Kurt landed the first quadruple jump in compeititon at the 1988 Worlds in Budapest, Germany. It was a quadruple toe loop. To celebrate the 10th anniversary, Kurt landed a Quad at an SOI show in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during the “Fun and Games” segment. He also landed a Quad during a Stars on Ice show in Toronto just a few years ago! Pretty impressive for a 32 year old! BTW–Kurt’s name appears in the Guiness Book of World Records as the first person to land a quadruple toe loop! Kurt was also the first to land a triple-triple jump combination in competition (triple salchow-triple loop at the 1990 Nations Cup, Germany), AND the first to land three triple-triple jump combinations in a freeskate program (3 axel-3 toe loop, 3 flip-3toe loop, 3 Salchow-3 loop at the ’91 Worlds in Munich, Germany).
