The race in Oslo between Axel Paulsen and two Dutch challengers, Renke van der Zee and Benedictus Kingma, who competed in a race over three English miles in 1885, became legendary.<\/p>\n<p> Paulsen won overwhelmingly, with a lead of 425 meters. An event mentioned in the Norwegian song &#039;Axel Paul-<br \/>\nsens skating gallop&#039; has been immortalized. Until 1921, Paulsen ran a grocery store in Oslo.<\/p>\n<p> Paulsen launched, among other things, the very recognizable corkscrew jump. The single axel (from 1882) consists of one and a half turns or 540 degrees; the double axel is a jump with two and a half turns or 900 degrees and was first performed in 1948 by the American Dick Button.<\/p>\n<p> The triple, first jumped by Vern Taylor in 1978, involves three and a half turns or 1260 degrees. The axel is the only jump in which the figure skater pushes forward.<\/p>\n<p>Other jumps that bear the name of a skater are the lutz, after the Austrian Alois Lutz, the salchow, after the Swedish champion Ulrich Salchow and the rittberger, after the German Werner Rittberger.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>abbreviation of Axel-Paulsen jump, spinning jump in figure skating <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/axel\/\">read more<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-eponiemen","infinite-scroll-item"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1759"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1759\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1760,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1759\/revisions\/1760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcelgrauls.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
