Competition notes[edit]
At the 1978 European Championships, 15-year-old Denise Biellmann became the first female skater to land the triple lutz in competition.[5] She underrotated it, with two-foot landing.[6] At the same event, she became the first woman to receive a 6.0 in technical merit, receiving the score from British judge Pauline Borrajo.[5] She was 12th in figures, first in the free skate, and finished fourth overall.[5] Another triple lutz was performed only by Jan Hoffmann.
