Salchow Jump - Variants

Variants

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. 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.
