waltz jump

Waltz jump, a one-half rotation jump that forms the basis for the Axel jump.

The jump with half a rotation from forward outside to backward outside is called a waltz jump or a three jump in some countries.

The mechanics of a single Salchow are quite similar to those of the waltz jump, the half-rotation jump from a forward outside edge.

Three jump (Waltz jump)

The simplest jump begins with a waltz jump which can only be done in a half-leap and is not classified as a single, double, or triple jump.

The pair eventually did a single waltz jump at the start of their routine before they went into their skating in order to fit the required element in, and it cost them the competition as their low scores led to their elimination.
