"a highlight in step sequences. In general, the International Skating Union's new ""code of points"" judging system now discourages skaters from putting variety jumps such as the split flip or one-and-a-half flip into their competitive programs because they count towards the number of permitted jumps but carry a very low point value. Flip jump The flip jump (usually just flip) is a figure skating jump which takes off from a backward inside edge with a toe pick assist, and lands on the backward outside edge of the opposite foot. In the early 20th century, the jump was known as a"
"is now known as the Salchow jump in his honor. After his competitive days, Salchow remained active in the sport, and was president of the International Skating Union (ISU) from 1925 to 1937. Furthermore, he was the chairman of AIK in Stockholm between 1928 and 1939 – the leading Swedish club in football, ice-hockey, bandy, tennis and other sports. Ulrich Salchow was married to the dentist Dr. Anne-Elisabeth Salchow. Salchow died in Stockholm at the age of 71 and was interred there at Norra begravningsplatsen. Ulrich Salchow Karl Emil Julius Ulrich Salchow (7 August 1877 – 19 April 1949) was"
"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,"
"over the ice. 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."
"Salchow jumps is to allow the free foot (the right foot for a counterclockwise jumper) to rest on the ice while bringing it around to the front, instead of using the scooping motion. Sometimes this is merely the result of a deep knee bend on the takeoff leg. While Salchows performed with this technique have been ratified by the International Skating Union in recent years, some skating purists object to it because in some cases it is clear that the skater is gaining material assist into the jump from pushing off the supposed ""free foot"", instead of merely skimming it"
"after the 3-turn, the skater checks the rotation momentarily with the right foot extended behind and then initiates the jump by swinging the right leg forward and around with a wide, scooping motion. The rotational momentum for the jump is gained by the swinging movement of the free leg and the coordination of the free leg and arms at the point of takeoff. The Salchow can alternately be entered from an inside mohawk turn or from back crossovers. As an edge jump, it is usually performed on a circular pattern instead of from a straight-line approach. Occasionally, the Salchow is"

"entered from a mohawk turn, and lends itself well to being performed out of a more complicated footwork approach. In British English, the flip is sometimes called a ""toe salchow"", but in fact it is a mistake to think of the jump as a toe pick-assisted salchow because the technique and mechanics of the two jumps are very different. The flip is actually quite similar in mechanics to the loop jump; in both jumps, the rotation comes from the right side of the body (for counterclockwise rotation), and the left leg is already crossed in front of the right in"

Different jumps are identified by the take-off edge, direction of movement, and the number of revolutions completed. There are six kinds of jumps currently counted as jump elements in ISU regulations. Three are edge jumps—the Salchow, loop, and Axel—and three are toe jumps which use the toe picks on the front of the blade—the toe loop, flip, and Lutz. The Axel is the most difficult due to an extra half rotation. Each jump receives a"
