Loop + Euler + Salchow

Loop (RBO, off the edge) through an Euler into a Salchow (LBI, off the edge), 3 rotations in all.

Also called 1Lo+1Eu+1S. Other names.

The edges, drawn: the loop's takeoff, the edge between each jump and the next, and the Salchow's landing. Each edge in between is one edge: one jump lands on it and the next leaves from it. The body is not drawn yet, because the Euler is not drawn on its own page either.

The loop lands on the edge it took off from, so the first jump hands the second its takeoff directly. With no pick anywhere, everything depends on landing the first on an edge that is still curving cleanly.

The loop 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 loop takes off RBO off the edge 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 1Lo+1Eu+1S on a protocol sheet.

Made of the loop, 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 LBO and lands on LBO: the same combination, mirrored.
