Long jump at the Olympics gold medals in its brief history. From 1900 to 1912 a variation of the event was contested at the Olympics where athletes had to long jump from a standing position. This was one of three standing jumps to have featured on the Olympic programme, alongside the standing high jump (present for the same period) and the standing triple jump (1900 and 1904 only). The standing jump competitions were dominated by Ray Ewry, who won the Olympic standing long jump titles in 1900, 1904 and 1908. His clearance of at the 1904 Olympics remained as the Olympic record for the event
Salchow jump over the ice. For example, Sonia Bianchetti, former chair of the ISU Technical Committee, has referred to the two-footed Salchow entry as "a severe error for which a steep deduction had to be applied by the judges". The two-footed Salchow entry is also confusing to spectators because the resulting jump can more strongly resemble a loop jump or toe loop jump than a traditional Salchow. 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.
