Nevius Influence of Traditional and Nontraditional Entries on Figure Skating Jumps BRYANNA NEVIUS Figure 1: The Triple Salchow [iceskate.net] Introduction umping is one of the first basic movements that one learns Jto perform as a child. The skill is mastered fairly quickly and as the child grows, it often becomes a valuable skill in many of the sports they participate in. Gymnastics, track and field, and figure skating are a few of the sports where jumping is not only a valuable skill, but also a required one. The United States Figure Skating Association states that three of the required elements in the ladies short program must be jump elements, and allows a maximum of seven jumps in the ladies long program (USFSA, 2013). The quantity of jumps equals more than half of the elements in both the ladies short and long programs. As jumping is such an important factor in the sport, a great deal of emphasis is placed on the skater’s performance Figure 2: The Single Toe-Loop [Martinez, C.] of jump elements.
