How Much Do You Know About The Figure Skating Elements?

The correct answer is Axel, Lutz, Flip, Loop, Salchow (sowcow), Toe Loop. These are the names of the six required jumps in figure skating. The Axel is a jump with a forward takeoff and one and a half rotations in the air. The Lutz is a jump with a backward takeoff and a counter-rotated entrance. The Flip is a jump with a backward takeoff and a toe-assist. The Loop is a jump with a backward takeoff and a single rotation. The Salchow (sowcow) is a jump with a backward takeoff and a toe-assist. The Toe Loop is a jump with a backward takeoff and a toe-assist.

The Double Axel actually requires 2 and a half rotations in the air, not 3 and a half rotations. This jump is commonly performed in figure skating and requires a skater to take off from a forward outside edge, rotate twice in the air, and land on the back outside edge of the opposite foot. It is considered a challenging jump due to the number of rotations and the technique required to execute it successfully.

The correct answer is "Salchow." A Salchow is a figure skating jump that takes off from a back inside edge and lands on a back outside edge. It is named after its creator, Ulrich Salchow, a Swedish figure skater.

A twizzle is not a spiral because it is a term used in figure skating to describe a rapid rotation on one foot. On the other hand, Charlotte, Biellmann, Ina Bauer, and Spiral are all names of figure skating moves that involve a spiral position, where the skater extends one leg behind them while maintaining balance and control.

Denise Biellmann, a figure skater from Switzerland, is credited with inventing the Biellmann spiral and spin.
