Lutz + Euler + Salchow
Lutz (LBO, off the pick) through an Euler into a Salchow (LBI, off the edge), 3 rotations in all.
Also called 1Lz+1Eu+1S. Other names.
Not checked yet. The mechanics on this page are a first draft by a non-expert, and no coach has seen them yet. Read them as a starting point and check them with a coach. Corrections are very welcome.
The Lutz is entered on a long back outside edge curving against its rotation, and lands on a back outside edge curving the normal way. The second jump takes off from that landing.
The Lutz lands RBO and the Euler takes off from it, turns once and lands LBI on the other foot, where the Salchow takes off. Nothing comes between them, and the Euler counts only here, between two jumps, as a single.
The Salchow here has no three turn in front of it. The Euler has already put the skater on the back inside edge, so the free leg swings through and the jump goes up from the landing.
Derived
The Lutz takes off LBO off the pick and lands RBO; the Euler takes off from that same edge with no pick and lands LBI; the Salchow takes off from that same edge with no pick and lands RBO. 3 rotations in all, written 1Lz+1Eu+1S on a protocol sheet.
Made of the Lutz, the Euler and the Salchow. Nothing here is stored on the page beyond the three jumps and the count.
A skater who rotates clockwise takes off RBO and lands on LBO: the same combination, mirrored.
Build on
- LutzThe only jump that takes off from a back outside edge curving against its own rotation, and the one most often done wrong.
- EulerRBO takeoff, off the edge, 1 rotation to LBI, on the other foot.
- SalchowLBI takeoff, off the edge, 1 rotation to RBO.
