Best Triple Lutz (Women)

[lcd]

Nancy Kerrigan actually had a nice one too. Short program. 1992 Olympics. Yellow dress. Great height, perfect position, great double toe combo.

Really? I love Caro Kostner, but I thought it was widely known that her 3Lutz is her worst, scariest jump.

It's her least consistant, she does double it a lot, but it looks damn fine when she does it. Her worst jump, conventional wisdom suggests, is her double axel, it's quite low and the landing often looks a bit stiff.

I don't know how anyone can vote for Kristi. Her Lutz was tiny in height/distance, sometimes barely made the rotation, and didn't have the most secure outside edge either.

Tonya Harding, Yu-Na Kim, Tatyana Malinina, Julia Sebeysten, and Midori Ito would be my top votes.

Alissa probably has the best technique on the lutz, but she doesn't get great height and often falls on that jump so my vote goes to Yuna. I have no idea how such a tiny girl can have such HUGE jumps. Same goes for Sebestyen. Maybe they are eating some special turbo charged food? Ha

Go figure that the bots put Yu-Na at the top of this poll. She's consistent, but I wouldn't consider her lutz to be the best ever.

Wow. Thanks for your divisive and offensive comment.

Obviously only people who like Yuna's jumps are her bots. I guess that makes many international judges & commentators Yuna bots as well. /sarcasm/

Elena Sokolova in her prime would get my vote, her lutz was always on a pure outside edge, there was absolutely no question as to whether it was a lutz/flutz/flip. I refer you to her 2003 world LP for some good examples.
