When figure skating was first contested at the Summer Olympic Games in London (1908), Salchow also won the title with ease, became one of the oldest figure skating Olympic champions. In addition, Salchow won the European Championships a record nine times (1898–1900, 1904, 1906–1907, 1909–1910, 1913) and placed second in the World Championships three times. In 1909, Ulrich Salchow first landed a jump in competition in which he took off on the back inside edge, and landed on the back outside edge of his other foot. This jump"
"The one-foot Salchow can be used in a jump combination followed by a regular Salchow jump. For example, in the 1970s, Canadian skater Toller Cranston sometimes performed a jump combination consisting of a one-foot Axel, one-foot double Salchow, and regular double Salchow. Ulrich Salchow invented the jump that bears his name in 1909. Theresa Weld was the first female skater to perform it, at the 1920 Summer Olympics; she was reprimanded for attempting anything so ""unladylike"", but that did not stop other female skaters from performing jumps. Double Salchows were first performed by Gillis Grafström for men in the 1920s,"

"skating was lent a more athletic character through the developments of Ulrich Salchow, a Swede. Salchow was considered the greatest figure skater of his day by far, winning the world championships ten times. The crowning achievement of his career, however, was his development of ice skates with slightly serrated blades, giving enough traction on the ice to launch long jumps. The salchow jump, still used prominently in figure skating routines today, is named for him, and was considered Salchow's greatest contribution to figure skating. Figure skating's Olympic debut came at the 1908 Summer Olympics—it was the first winter sport introduced"

For example, Sonia Bianchetti, former chair of the ISU Technical Committee, has referred to the two-footed Salchow entry as ""a severe error for which a steep deduction had to be applied by the judges"". The two-footed Salchow entry is also confusing to spectators because the resulting jump can more strongly resemble a loop jump or toe loop jump than a traditional Salchow. A variant of the Salchow that is rarely performed today is the ""one-foot Salchow"", which lands on the same back inside edge used for the jump takeoff, much like a half loop or one-foot Axel."

To execute combinations ending with Salchows or flips, a half loop, which lands on a backward inside edge, is employed as a connecting jump. In theory, jumps with a counter-rotated entry, such as the Lutz and Walley, can be used as the second jump of combination when preceded by a jump with the opposite rotational sense, such as a combination of a clockwise Walley and counter-clockwise Lutz. In practice, this is rarely attempted because most skaters only train jumps in one direction. In international competition, a combination of"
"the early days of the Olympic Winter Games, skaters performed single jumps. By the middle of the 20th century, they had graduated to double jumps. By the 1980s, the triple Lutz was the benchmark for men. Throughout the '80s, it was the triple Axel, though attempts at a quad were already being made. Finally, a quadruple jump became an essential element in the programs of many men in the '90s and into the new millennium.
