Salchow jump
A Salchow is deemed cheated if the skate blade starts to turn forward before the takeoff, or if it has not turned completely backward when the skater lands back on the ice.[3][4] According to writer Ellyn Kestnbaum, American skater Theresa Weld "received reprimands" at the 1920 Olympics "for performing a single Salchow jump because her skirt would fly up to her knees, creating an image deemed too risque".[10] The free leg is extended behind the skater and swings toward the front as they spring into the air while, at the same time, drawing in their arms.When a skater pulls the arms into their body and/or brings their free leg inward, more rotations can be performed; for this reason, the Salchow is "usually the first jump that skaters learn to double, and the first or second to triple".Figure Skating states, however, "timing is critical"[11] because both the takeoff and landing must be on the backward edge.
