Specialty Definition: Figure skating jump

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A figure skating jump is determined by the launch, landing, and number of revolutions completed. Any jump of at least one but fewer than two revolutions is a single jump; similarly for double, triple, and quadruple jumps. Current world-class competition for men requires quadruples jumps, while women need triple jumps; just a few women are starting to be able to do quadruple jumps.

An edge jump is any jump which takes off from the skating foot without bringing the free foot in contact with the ice to assist the takeoff. Edge jumps include the Axel, loop, and Salchow. The Axel jump, named for its originator Axel Paulsen, is launched on the forward outside edge and landed on the back outside edge of the opposite foot. It is the only jump that begins facing forward. The loop jump is launched from the back outside edge and lands on the same back outside edge. The Salchow jump (pronounced "sow-cow"), named for its originator Ulrich Salchow, is launched off the back inside edge and landed on the back outside edge of the opposite foot. The waltz jump, essentially a half-Axel, is a one-half rotation launched from the forward outside edge and is rarely performed in competition.

A toe-pick assisted jump is any jump in which the toe pick of the free foot is used to assist in pushing off. Such jumps include the flip, Lutz, and toe loop. The flip jump is launched from a back inside edge and landed on the back outside edge of the opposite foot. The Lutz jump, named for its originator Alois Lutz, is launched from a back outside edge and landed on the back outside edge of the opposite foot. The rotation of the jump is in the opposite direction to the wide curve skated to prepare for the launch. The toe loop jump is launched from the back outside edge and lands on the same back outside edge (in other words, a toe-pick assisted loop jump).

In pairs figure skating the throw jump may be performed, in which the woman is thrown into the air by her partner and lands on a back outside edge.

Jumping

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Jumping is a skill that most humans and many animals share to some degree. It is simply the process of getting ones body off the ground for a short time without using anything but ones own power, usually by propelling oneself upward via contraction and then forceful extension of the legs. One can jump up to reach something high, jump over a fence or ditch, or jump down, and it can be done while dancing and as a sport.

In athletics (track and field), a number of events are mainly based on jumping:

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

SUFFRAGE, n. Expression of opinion by means of a ballot. The right of suffrage (which is held to be both a privilege and a duty) means, as commonly interpreted, the right to vote for the man of another man's choice, and is highly prized. Refusal to do so has the bad name of "incivism." The incivilian, however, cannot be properly arraigned for his crime, for there is no legitimate accuser. If the accuser is himself guilty he has no standing in the court of opinion; if not, he profits by the crime, for A's abstention from voting gives greater weight to the vote of B. By female suffrage is meant the right of a woman to vote as some man tells her to. It is based on female responsibility, which is somewhat limited. The woman most eager to jump out of her petticoat to assert her rights is first to jump back into it when threatened with a switching for misusing them.
