What is a triple loop jump in ice skating?

Answer 1

There are three types of "toe jumps" and three types of "edge jumps" (edge jumps do not use a toe pick into the ice). Triples of each jump have been performed, and some (notably the axel) in quads during professional competition.

Toe jumps (listed in approximate order of difficulty from easiest to hardest):

1. Toe loops / toe walleys
2. Flips
3. Lutzes

Edge jumps (listed in approximate order of difficulty from easiest to hardest):

1. Salchows
2. Loops (Rittberger jumps)
3. Axels
