Standing high jump Standing high jump The standing high jump is an athletics event that was featured in the Olympics from 1900 to 1912. It is performed in the same way as high jump, with the difference being that the athlete has no run-up and must stand still and jump with both feet together. Ray Ewry was the best of the Olympic era, setting world records for the standing high jump (1.65 m on July 16, 1900). He was also highly successful in the standing long jump and the standing triple jump. The event previously enjoyed wide competition, featuring on the Olympics athletics
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.
