Kevin Van Der Perren - Jumping Ability

Jumping Ability

Van der Perren is the first Belgian skater to land a quadruple jump (toe-loop) in competition, and the first skater ever to have done a quadruple toe loop-triple toe loop-triple toe loop combination in competition. At the 2005 World Figure Skating Championships, he completed a triple flip-triple toe loop-triple loop combination in his free program, although he touched down with his hand on the final jump. Van der Perren landed the combination again at the 2008 Worlds, this time with no touchdown.

Famous quotes containing the words jumping and/or ability:

    O to break loose, like the chinook
    salmon jumping and falling back,
    nosing up to the impossible
    stone and bone-crushing waterfall—
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    The extent to which a parent is able to see a child’s world through that child’s eyes depends very much on the parent’s ability to appreciate the differences between herself and her child and to respect those differences. Your own children need you to accept them for who they are, not who you would like them to be.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)
