On December 14, 2002, in the free skate at the Junior Grand Prix Final in The Hague, Netherlands, Miki Ando landed the first ratified quadruple Salchow in competition.
On March 10, 2018, in the long program at the World Junior Figure Skating Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, Alexandra Trusova landed the first ratified quadruple toe loop in competition. She is also the second woman to land a ratified quadruple Salchow, making her the first woman to complete two quads in one program, and two different types of quads in one program.[11]
On September 7, 2018, in the long program at the Junior Grand Prix in Kaunas, Lithuania, Alexandra Trusova became the first woman to land a quad jump in combination, landing the quad toe loop that was followed by a triple toe loop.
On October 12, 2018, in the long program at the Junior Grand Prix in Yerevan, Armenia, Alexandra Trusova landed the first ratified quadruple Lutz in competition.

i am sure we will be seeing more of TRUSOVA soon in "the big leagues."

Kazakhstan’s Elizabet Tursynbaeva became the first woman to land the quad at the World Figure Skating Championships.

Russia's Alexandra Trusova is the future of woman's figure skating. She's 14. She's a heck of a lot better then our 15 year United States Champion because she's stronger and more flexable.
