After half a century, this still looks beautiful.

@starstruckvenus13 No, the next triple lutz in competition was 12 years later in 1974 by Jan Hoffmann. 20 years later, in 1982, triple lutzes were commonplace by then and you could probably see about 10 or a dozen done in a World or European Championships and by that time some men were doing triple axels. First triple axel in competition was 1978 by Vern Taylor.

Hi did 20 jumps in his program. I can't get over the height on that triple lutz. Exciting to see this clip.
-
I don't care that they didn''t do quads and triple axels during those days. This video was so exciting--the fact that he was the first to do a triple lutz in competition and also the pressure of needing to score so highly to win--it was exciting to watch.

I believe the next triple lutz was cleanly landed in competition about 20 years later.

Geez, in those times men looked like real men! They were also so elegant. Don was amazing. His 3L was so high, I thing he had room for an extra rotation. Anyway amazing skater!

Wow this was amazing. I looked up figure skating, just because I enjoy watching it on TV when its on - I admit, I saw the black-n-white and was skeptical I would make it through all 9 minutes, but WOW I was captivated! This was SO beautiful, the footwork was amazing! just WOW
