Figure Skating Jumps

Ever seen a figure skater do these jumps: an AXEL, LUTZ or a SALCHOW?

Though figure skating jumps are categorized by where they take off from on the blade and how many revolutions the skater rotates, the three mentioned are good examples of eponyms. 

The AXEL Paulsen, the Alois LUTZ, and the Ulrich SALCHOW are all named after the skaters who created them.

The Axel is the most famous and recognizable jump, invented by Norwegian figure skater Axel Paulsen. It's the only basic jump in competition that starts with a forward take-off, and the skater rotates one-and-a-half times in the air.

The Lutz is named after Austrian skater Alois Lutz, who performed it in 1913. It's considered the most difficult jump and involves a toepick-assisted entrance and landing on the opposite foot's back outside edge.
