Salchow jump

The Salchow, named after Ulrich Salchow Sweden, is one of the elementary jumps of Eiskunstlaufes. The jump is both single -, double -, triple - and sometimes already shown in the freestyle as a single element as well as a quadruple jump. Also jump combinations with other jumps are possible.

Implementation

In a simple version of the jump from one foot backwards jumped through pressure shift to the inboard edge of the rail and landed after rotation in the air around the body's longitudinal axis by 360 ° on the other leg backwards away. ( Most runners jump from left to right reverse inward backwards away. )

There are two standard ways for start-up:

  • With three (change from forward to reverse outward inward on the same leg )
  • With Mohawk (change from forward to reverse inward on one leg inward on the other leg )

History

The namesake Ulrich Salchow invented the jump in 1909. Theresa Weld was the first woman who jumped a Salchow, this happened at the Olympic Games 1920.

The first double Salchow jump in the men Gillis Grafström in the twenties and in women Cecilia Colledge in the late thirties.

The first triple Salchow was Ronald Robertson at the World Championships in 1955. Among women, this became the first alleged Petra Burka, this was also the first successfully landed triple jump of a woman at all. She succeeded at the Canadian Championships in 1962 and at the World Championships in 1965. According to a former report, a triple Salchow already succeeded at the European Championships in 1961 Helli Sengstschmid and Jana Mrázková.

Timothy Goebel was the first quadruple Salchow in 1998. The first and so far only woman who succeeded in this was Japan's Miki Ando in 2002.
