"In what sport is a ""triple salchow"" performed?"
Salchow jump performed as the second or third jump in a jump combination, following a one-foot Axel or half loop, which land on a back inside edge.

The Salchow is therefore usually the first full-rotation jump taught to beginning figure skaters. It teaches the skater to check his or her turn and how to jump off the edge rather than the toe pick.

Ulrich Salchow is now known as the Salchow jump in his honor. After his competitive days, Salchow remained active in the sport, and was president of the International Skating Union (ISU) from 1925 to 1937.
