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.
