Who were the first skaters to do double jumps?

Vern Taylor of Canada landed the first triple axel in competition - the 1978 Worlds championships in Ottawa, Ontario.

Petra Burka: "Burka is credited as being the first woman to land a triple jump, a triple salchow at the 1962 Canadian Championships"

and of course there are those other famous Canucks:

Donald Jackson: First triple Lutz

Kurt Browning: First quad
