HOW TO TELL APART THE JUMPS IN FIGURE SKATING
Vložit

- I get a lot of comments saying that all the jumps in figure skating look the same...and that's true if you don't know what to look for.
This video explains how you can recognize the different types of jumps in skating: what to look for, how the jump is performed, and lots of examples!
Don't be discouraged if they still all look the same even after watching the video, it takes some practice before you can correctly identify the jumps in real time.

You clearly must love the sport and be kind to people to make a video like this. Thank you.
NOW I UNDERSTAND HOW USEFUL THE TOE PICK IS
@@lindathrall5133 We also use them for spins :)
And you clearly must be a fanyu😍, thank you for the video, actually I was only a Yuzu Fan with Zero Skating knowledge long time,hence I believed everyone jumps a 3A like Yuzu etc.,but now I am more interested and also watch Videos about the skate technique like yours!
@@itsaneel yeah but going fast and hitting one, BROKEN KNEESSSSS
i now know how to differentiate them but, THE SKATERS ARE TOO DAMN FAST- MY EYES CANNOT
ahhahaaha
That’s what takes practice
same!!! lol
Ikr! I’ve been skating for seven years but when I watch it on TV it’s so hard for me to tell a toe loop from a flip cuz it goes so fast. Axel, lutz, loop, and salchow have gotten easier for me to recognize.
@@fishythefish7984 oh btw hi didn’t see ya there
So lutz jumps basically look like they are about to break an ankle.
No. They are just putting their other leg behind with their toepick and turning the other foot.
Yes.exactly
i'm watching it and I just. it looks like they twisted both their ankles at the same time. i think the lutz is my favorite jump
Lol, 5:24 is when this happens😂
@@vivian-dc8nj lol
Everytime you said "few men attempted ***" my head is just like
*GIVE ME MY BOY YUZURU*
I was like that too!!
@@JordonLeBlanc me to hahaha
Lmao sameeee
First man to land a quad toe loop
@@toninot17 wasnt it a triple? Or was it another jump lmfao ùvú
As a competitive figure skater this was very entertaining because we never get like a “guide to figure skating jumps” you just kinda learn lol😂
Yeah 😂
Yeah lol 😆
Hehe, yea
But don't they teach you like "oh you have to take off from this side of the blade etc. etc."? Do you have to figure it out yourself omg
Ice King Yuzuru coaches differ, but in my experience it’s mostly done through demonstrations. Although watching someone’s program at full speed and identifying jumps quickly is an entirely different skillset
I have seen so many videos not caring to explain what is an 'outside/inside edge', 'toe pick' and just throwing common expressions like "right back outside edge" etc as a given. They probably don't realize that even this is very confusing to complete newbies. I really command you for including that bit since It's essential and so many videomakers brush through it and if the viewer isn't able to understand that then the rest falls flat. The video is very clear and take things slow showing first the mechanics of the jumps in slow motion with pointers and only then the videos in real time speed. Possibly the best one on this topic to show complete newbies. You're a jewel! Keep going with the channel!
I agree on everything you said, this video is sooooo well done!
I’m a figure skater so I would know all of the stuff you mentioned but I think it should be an element part of a video
Awesome video, so clearly presented. I am not a figure skater and can now understand the differences in the jumps. Thank you for such a clear video!

Newb here! Why are so many jumps "only for men", only "attempted by men" or, only used in women's skating under specific circumstances? Is it because of rules, it makes more sense point-wise, or are women's bodies just not made for it?
Yuzu and Yuna aren't called the King and Queen of figure skating for no reason. Their technique is impeccable. Great speed, right edge, incredible height, and smooth landings.
Agreed. Good technique is so important for a jump to look good. Poor technique just makes jumps looked sloopy
Agreed :)
I'm sorry but hanyu and yuna are on a different level.
Well said
@@runrun1935 Duh. Do you think Serena Williams and Roger Federer were on the same level? Obviously no, but still they are the goats of tennis. Hanyu and Yuna competed in different disciplines and era of figure skating. They are the GOATs and golden standard when it comes to textbook technique and artistry.
I see Yuzuru, I click
same❤️
Angélica Monge same 😂
Nice same
We are simple species. Yuzuru? Clickity-click
OMG, that's pretty much me LOL
Finally, I can understand all of the ice skating lingo in Yuri on Ice.
Yessss love it
i remember while watching i used to be confused cuz all the moves looked the same but now i get it😌
yess
yesss
Lmaoooo same
I just realized my coach had been teaching me a flip and not a toe loop like she claimed... ma’am
omg throw her away
What! There is a big difference between the two
Omg imagine going to a competition and doing a flip thinking you were doing a toe loop? Get a better coach dude
even shut ins want to love mafumafu at least you would get more technical points if you landed it lol
this is literally eteri teaching the girls flips and telling them (and the judges) its a lutz
Yuzuru really has some of the most beautiful jumps. He makes it look so easy. In his Notte Stellata exhibition performance, he performed a delayed single axel, and he looked like he was flying. If any man can fly without wings, it's him.
Right. I don't even care about jumps (why am I here lol) but that one stops my heart every time.
this was really detailed and helpful thanks a lot
Ohhhh it's yuzupon bitch
I luv ur vids
@@lamiah.2938 omg i forgot about this comment lol thanks though
Hanyu Yuzuru's triple-euler-triple is the smoothest in terms of rhythm. Evenly paced.
Yea, I used to think that's "normal difficulty" until I see the jarring rhythm from skaters like Samarin and Trusova.
Your likes are at 666
Lol
Now at 777 😂
Timestamp please?
I broke my ankles 38 different ways just watching this but I actually understood what it was saying so thank you :)
Lol!!! ⛸⛸⛸⛸
11:34 see that? *Yuzu's Axel jump is higher than my grades.*
actually, all his jumps SKSKSKSKS
he gets amazing height
what a mood
when you relate to comments on a spiritual level
Any jump is higher than my grades lmao
Great video, you explained the jumps very clearly. It's true the only way for me to recognise the loop was to see the x legs. Great to see so many jumps with Yuzu, Yuna Kim for the lutz amongst others, Javi for the 4sal, and the only 3 men who do correct 4lutz, until Yuzu does it again in competition.
Yuzuru Hanyu is the god of figure skating
When you're literally learning this at 3 AM because of Yuri on Ice and Yuzuru...
I LEARNED A LOT THO
same
Yeah I’m just binging informational figure skating videos because of them!
Lmao that's what im doing rn
THAT WAS ME
I WATCHED THIS AT 1 AM LAST NIGHT CAUSE OF YURI ON ICE ( and im part Canadian so i wanna do this)
Omg sameeeeee
“Few men perform a quadruple flip” Victor is like 👁👄👁
He was born to make history
and Yuri is like 👁👄👁
True 👌🏻
Yurio be like : so?ತ_ತ
God I love YOI comments
2:15 Toe loop
3:36 Flip
4:47 Lutz
7:13 Salchow
8:49 Loop
10:54 Axel
i fully take for granted being able to tell the jump aparts since i'm a figure skater, i always forget how difficult it is for non-skaters. interesting point made with the /\ salchow legs and the X loop legs, i had never noticed that but it's a genius way to tell them apart
I really appreciate you putting Midori ito and Tonya Harding in the axel part. Respect
Tonya Harding I see you around these parts very often..
@@maddie-xk2uv Lol, yeah I love appreciating the 6.0 skaters so I usually comment how I feel about em. Love em all
Yes indeed! Good to incorporate such legends!
"only a few men attempt to do that jump"
and there goes yuzuru
i like how every time something is difficult alexandra trusova is on screen, what an absolute queen
I’ve been figure skating for 17 years why am I watching this 😂
Who's your favorite ??
The question is why are you writing this comment. I think its to flex, but I might be wrong.
@@diradosveta even if it is to flex, what is the matter?
The person might just be quite intrigue that they spend so much time on this video despite the fact that they have been figure skating for a long time and know all of this stuff. It is like 'wow. Look how I just wasted my time watching something they already know'
if i was skating for 17 yrs I'd flex too 🙄 Nothing wrong it. You're too salty
diradosveta Why do you care
Aaaaand.....Yuzuru just did the quad axel. He didn’t fully do it yet but he try it this year. He did the 4 rotations but he underotated. But he won and is qualified for the olympic! SUCH A LEGEND!!!!!!!
Sadly he didnt land it at the olympics but now Ilia Malinin smashed it. The boy honestly said his goal is to achieve a quintuple jump someday. He also is the first scater to land quads in combination.
You explained it so well, too bad my memory is of a goldfish and I forgot them as soon as I looked away
You know… I always enjoyed watching this sport, however whenever a clip of Yuzuru comes on it’s just another level. Anything he does just looks so smooth… bless that man
Thank you so much! It is the best “how to recognize the jumps” video!
I’m waiting only for the video, where we can practice recognizing jumps (a jump, replay and then the name of the jump) that would be awesome
Yuzutea liked your comment! I assume he/she will make one? I'm excited for this video!
jaxnkatya ooooh YES PLEASEEE
Now all the competitions have technical elements point table displayed in the right corner, it takes a few sec for the points to appear after the element was done, so you have enough time to guess the jumps and you can see straight away if you were right.
Yes please!!
yes like a quiz type!!
Came here after the news of the Quad Axel being hit by the Quad God, as a layman this video helped me a lot with better understanding and appreciating the accomplishment. Great vid!
This is such a good video for people (like me) who know nothing about the technicalities of figure skating! Thank you so much! Here are some timestamps for those of us who would like to return again and again to find specific jumps:
Toe jumps:
2:14 - Toe Loop
3:35 - Flip
4:46 - Lutz
Edge jumps:
7:12 - Salchow
8:48 - Loop
10:53 - Axel
Other:
12:51 - Euler
wow quadruple axel not even mentioned. yuzuru must really be pioneering this effort. i want to see him succeed one in competition so badly!!
I've been watching skating for years and have heard of every single one of those jumps and NEVER knew the differences, thank you!
ok I will need to re-watch this a few more times lol but thank you for taking time explaining and giving examples!! It really clarified a lot of things that I didn't understand before :)
"Double axels are standard for ladies, while triple axels are standard for the men. Very few women attempt triple axels."
Now (2/8/2022, one day away from Olympics men's free skate), there should be another line:
"Very few men attempt quaduple axels, in specific, Yuzuru Hanyu only."
Update: IT WAS CERTIFIED!!!!!! WE JUST WITNESSED HISTORY BEING MADE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! Ok I was so sad when I saw that he didn't do it and also didn't land the next quad and I was like crying through that day and the day afterwards but I'M SO PROUD OF HIM DOING IT!!!! He really could've just played safe, but he didn't (very yuzuru-y)! Yuzu said the ice hates him in the short program but as idk who but somebody said, "The ice doesn't hate you, the ice is just trying to keep you." I totally agree !!
Update again: omg he said he's gonna continue attempting it and he won't quit being a competitive skater yet!!!!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPYY!!!! I was literally preparing mentally both ways, if he retires or if he doesn't. I was thinking if he continues then YAY he gets to continue his dreams and conquer the 4A and if he doesn't continue then YAY he doesn't have to get hurt that much anymore. Anyways I'm sooo happy because this is the yuzu I'm used to knowing (not the one that asks why effort doesn't pay off)!!! :DD
I felt this 😭 it was a week of a roller coaster of emotions and constant binge watching of Yuzuru’s vids. But after seeing how fast Yuzuru managed to recollect his emotions and braved the press conference alone, i managed to calm myself down too. At this point I’m just like SO PROUD OF YUZURU! I can’t wait for his GALA performance, he said that he’s gg to be performing Phantom of the Opera coz it holds a significant meaning to him (coz of the horrific accident that he had with Lan Yan and both were seriously injured during the Cup of China) and hence would like to complete this program in China. Such a sweet heart and a true champion. Really excited for his performance now AHHH I’m sure it’s gg to be mesmerizing as usual!!! ✨☺️💓
heeeyy could you please tell me what it means for something to be certified? I don't know anything about figure skating, but wouldn't it be the most logical for the jump to be landed in order to be certified? (also what exactly does certified mean kjfhsdse im so sorry but i fell into this yuzuru hole a few days ago and im so lost :'')
@@miloun.5101 czcams.com/video/TKI-BVMxCPQ/video.html
explanation video :)
@@yuehannayuan71 thank you !
He couldn’t do it but Ilia Malinin could
I feel like my mind has imploded: FINALLY, I can make sense of figure-skating that I really like to watch! Thank you for making this vid. It was fab!
That is really super interesting. How people are able to do those things without breaking their legs is a miracle.
Thank you so much for this. No one talking, just looking and reading, pauses in the right place, text that's easy to understand. I learned so much from this video, thank you!
This was so incredibly helpful for someone obsessed with watching performers but not understanding the difference between each jump, thanks so much can you please do one for the spins too?
This video is two years old but for anybody who comes in now I just want to say that there’s another jump, the quadruple axel, never been landed before (because it’s basically the hardest jump to ever have been attempted), but in the Beijing 2022 olympics Yuzuru Hanyu attempted it and was LESS than HALF a rotation off and got it ratified by the ISJ as a quad axel (4A). He didn’t land it but he’s still the first person to every get it and it wasn’t marked down as a 3a.
This video is three years old, but for anybody who comes in now I just want to say that there’s another jump, the quadruple axel, and young Ilia Malinin lands it during practices, free programs and exhibitions. And he's got that half a rotation more in him.
Now I have seen that Yuzuru is really the best in his jumps and skating
Loved the Video. You did an amazing job explaining the jumps. Just one thing fir future videos: if you put in so many clios of different skaters it might be nice to add their names on the bottom. Just a suggestion. :)
I have finally found a clear video showcasing the different jumps. Usually the skaters at to fast and you slowed it down and gave multiple examples. The lutz is crazy with that back outside edge. Now I have a working knowledge of the jumps. I only knew the axel and the flip before this. I use to do a flip on quad skates and never got the axel, I was too afraid. This video makes it all very clear. Thanks!!
Oh my god thank you for this, it was so satisfying to watch and learn. Now I realize why women’s double axel looks like a triple to me. It’s that half revolution-and it’s such a fast and pretty jump!
Honestly I got into figure skating a couple of seasons ago, (I managed to catch a few seconds of the winter Olympics in PyeongChang and I was hooked) and I didn't understand a thing. Even more so while searching for explanations on CZcams, (because every single one I've seen brushes over the details) so it's really awesome and helpful that you're doing it! Keep going bro! lol✨💜⛸️
2019-2020 is coming might as well prepare myself for some skating knowledge. AND THIS VIDEO IS VERY GOOD FOR A NEWBIE FAN LIKE ME. WORTH SUBSCRIBING!
Hi, totally in agreement. Like to highlight one thing, Yuzutea is very fair to show clippings of various jumps from numerous skaters, Yuzuru's fans are well mannered and matured. Awesome and million thanks to Yuzutea.
Man you should get an award for this! Best explanation video on CZcams. I will practice recognising the jumps this Olympics 2022! Thanks a lot, must have been loads of work👏👏
Knowing 0 about the sport and watching this. I litterlay took notes of everything. Everything is so difficult to memorize and to see the diffrence between the jumps for someone who knows nothing about it and trynna understand the scoring,jumps,spins and everything about this sport😭. Thank u for this video👏
Thank you!! I learned a lot, being an amateur figure skating enthusiast, I found the video very helpful. I always thought a skater fell out of their jump when doing a “Euler”, didn’t know it was actually a jump!
And now there's Malinin's Quad axel. Thanks for the video, I've watched for years and never got the difference. I just nodded my head and let the announcers say Loop and flip and just believed whatever they were saying.
I’m here learning so I can appreciate yuzuru talent. First I need to memorize (I have terrible memory) then I need to train my eyes to follow those move because those skaters are so damn fast! 😅
I never even knew about the edges of the skates. People that live in a tropical country like me don't about that sort of things. These explanations are much appreciated, and helps a lot. Thank you very much! I'll definitely come back to this whenever I need a refresher.
You cannot imagine how helpful this was
The best way to enjoy figure skating is understanding the jumps, the most difficult part ofevery program. I've seen so many videos describing them, I am still confused when trying to identify the jumps in areal time routine. Thank you for this video. The best. You are a great teacher!!!
This video should be played before every figure skating competition! So helpful
I know this is a 2-year-old video..but it really is so comprehensive and helpful. Thank you
This is so so useful, THANK YOU!!!! I’ve been dying to understand the differences for so long. This video is excellently made!
Here trying to understand the nitty gritty of figure skating all because of the G.O.A.T Yuzuru! 🤭
Things that make me cry because they're too beautiful: figure skating!
what a beautiful and informative video
I'm an avid spectator of figure skating. Not being an actual skater myself but being so in love with the sport, I truly appreciate this. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, this video is great, now I won´t feel so ignorant anymore while watching skating. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!!!
I just want to say that this is an incredibly clear and effective video. I would have liked more A vs B comparisons to see the differences in action but it was an amazingly informative video and I'm very grateful. I can see the passion and care that went into it. 11/10 video
I love that you even show how to find the protocols on google. Thank you for this video!
Also REALLY want to thank you for showing some clips of the women who do attempt very difficult jumps. It’s encouraging !
I truly appreciate how much effort you put into making this video. Everything was clearly explained and demonstrated. You deserve some kind of award for this.
Thanks, this explains why the brand new quad axel achievement is so amazing. It's 4.5 rotations. Crazy.
Best video on this subject. Give this CZcamsr an award. Now.
The movements is too fast that I already know all the jumps but I can't comprehend which one is it lol
Wow, I used to see the Eulers and think that the skater messed up since their legs were never as tight as they were for other jumps. I thought it was just regaining balance, I had no idea it was actually intended!
Me trying to write about figure skating while not knowing super much about it: Thank you SO much for this video, saved me so much time!
when you said Lutz, I knew the example would be Yuna's. So beautiful. Amazing video, btw
Nice educational video. I can recognize the differences between a flip and a lutz, but not a flip and a toe sometimes. Or I still don't fully understand a flip. I need to rewatch that part again. And thanks for using a variety of skaters! It's interesting to see.
I love how at 6:05 your comparing Yuna with Yuna lmaooo
After a few months of watching figure skating and familiarization of top skaters... I can now proudly identify all six jumps and name the spins even without slowmo.. THIS VIDEO HELPED A LOT
And the LOOP and LUTZ are my fav. jumps
"Jumps in figure skating FOR DUMMIES" finally!! I've seen few vids explaining jumps, it was only yours that did it perfectly! Thank you for your patience & attitude editing this for us!
Very helpful and informative. Knowing these details makes me see (even more than before) how extremely talented these people are.
I think i wouldn't be able to recognize a jump watching a competition. 😂
But this video is really great. I appreciate your effort, because you explained everything so good.
As someone who does not know anything about the sport and wanted a quick overview this is definitely the best video. I love the language this person uses to describe actions
Alyona Kostornaya already makes triple Axels. You can update your video if you like. Thanks for the nice videomaterial that you prepared for figure skating fans!
I'm a simple person. I see Yuzuru, I click. 😍❤
A nice comprehensive video. This is the video I must show to my parents so they can finally tell the difference between flip and lutz. Even after 8 years they still don't see the difference.
I still would've wished to see more in-depth comparisons of:
- the old Salchow and the new.
- Loop's free leg. Some people keep it in the outside edge while others tend to keep it on the inside edge.
- Axel hands. While usually skaters swing them from down to up some skaters do it sideways. So they stretch their hands up to their sides and when they're about to jump they pull them together.
I have always trusted Peggy Fleming, Robin Cousins and other past champions and cognoscenti to know what they are talking about when commentating; particularly on the jumps. I left the arcane elements differentiating a toe from a flip well alone and got on with savouring the exhilaration when they are well executed.
That is, until Sochi 2014 when brazen duplicity made a damning statement into the integrity of the ISU and various parties.
The brouhaha roused my curiosity. This "Figure Skating Jumps for Idiots" gift from you is priceless. It does the job admirably, and you are a treasure of this beautiful sport.
I only discovered this helpful guide today.
Thank you so very much. 👍👏
This is the best explanation of jumps I've ever seen.
By FAR the best video I’ve seen explaining this!! You made it so clear thank you so much!
(Leaving time stamps for myself to come back to :))
2:15 Toe Loop
3:35 Flip
4:50 Lutz
7:12 Salchow
8:48 Loop
10:58 Axel
This is the clearest video of jump explanations that I have ever seen. The details, pacing, and examples were spot on!
Thank you for such a well explained video. It was exactly what I wanted but I was impressed all the same. You made something so complicated, very clear.
This was so informative! I appreciate you slowing down the video and circling what you're referring to (especially the inside and outside edge parts). The indicators for legs crossed versus / \ were also enlightening!
Man, if only my coach from 1976 could’ve explained edges and the leg positions as well as you. I probably would’ve skated a lot longer. ( not really, I grew from 5ft2in to 5ft7in in less than a year) This is a terrific video!!! 😀😀😀
I absolutely enjoyed this video and your explanations! I loved how even terminologies of the mechanics were explained, and it really made me appreciate more the complexities of these jumps. The fact there is multiple ways to attempt a jump, some pretty difficult upon further inspection is incredible! No wonder certain jumps is rarely tried.
My life is now complete but I wish I knew this years ago! And slow-mo replays of these stupendous jumps after performances would be wonderful.
Thank you for the clear-cut explanation. I’ve never actually heard or seen anybody explain it quite this clearly. My grandmother and grandfather used to love watching figure skating together, but I never got into it because I couldn’t understand it. This video makes it easier. I can now talk figure skating with grandma. Thank you, you are my hero. I love my grandma to pieces and want to be able to talk figure skating with her because it’s one of her favorite things to talk about besides gardening. You have officially made hero status in my book for making this video.
I can’t thank you enough for this video. I’ve always wondered where I could find this info, and you make it so simple and nice. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Don't forget that when landing, you have to land on your toe pick before you continue onwards onto your back outside edge. Landing on the blade without landing on the toe pick first can cause you to seriously hurt yourself from either falling or hurting your ankle/leg/knee, because you don't have a solid anchor for your momentum to swing off of.
That’s a brilliant explanation. Particularly that final jump (Euler) was interesting for me as I always assumed the skater had made a mistake and missed a complicated jump . I now know why they do it. They all make it look so easy!
I’ve been watching skating for thirty years, and this video is by far the best description of how to tell jumps apart. Thank you!
This video is so amazingly helpful! Thank you so much for all the time and effort I know you must have put into this. I've watched skating for a long time but never bothered to learn how to tell the jumps apart. I decided that ends this week!
the video i didn't know i needed. as a completely causal figure skating fan, this is going to make spectating a lot more fun! thank you :D
i never felt so educated before. your explanations are very detailed and although i didn't grasp the whole thing yet, i definitely understand the concept of it. thank you so much for making this video! i hope you have a lovely day ^^
Thank you for making this video. I have even more respect for now. This is like watching what not to do to get an ankle injury 101. I can absolutely see how someone could overthink these jumps, which can be dangerous. It can cause too much hesitation, resulting in injury. This is so technical. Bravo to you, video maker!
I do figure skating mayself, so i knew all that stuff, but you do great videos, they are definitely needed in the community and on youtube, thx ❤️
