===Pair skating=== {{Main|Pair skating#Solo jumps and throw jumps}} [[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-1983-0329-027, Barbara Underhill, Paul Martini.jpg|thumb|Canadian pair skaters [[Barbara Underhill]] and [[Paul Martini]] performing a throw jump in 1983]] Pair teams, both juniors and seniors, must perform one solo jump during their short programs; it can include a double Lutz or double Axel for juniors, or any kind of double or triple jump for seniors.{{r|Tech Panel Handbook Pairs 23-24|p=15}} In the free skating program, for both juniors and seniors, skaters are limited to a maximum of one jump combination or sequence.<ref name="TechRules 2022"/>{{rp|Rule 621}} A jump sequence consists of two or three jumps of any number of revolutions, in which the second and/or the third jump is an Axel type jump. Jumps during the short program which do not satisfy the requirements (including the wrong number of revolutions) will have no value.{{r|Tech Panel Handbook Pairs 23-24|p=15}} In the Free Skate, in case of unequal number of revolutions of partners in a jump performed as a solo jump or part of a combo or a sequence, this jump will be called as a jump with the lesser number of revolutions executed by the partners. The Judges will reflect the mistake in their GOE.{{r|Tech Panel Handbook Pairs 23-24|p=17}} In the Free Skate, all jumps executed with more than 2 revolutions (double Axel and all triple and quadruple jumps) must be of a different nature (different name); however the jump combination or sequence can include two same such jumps.{{r|Tech Panel Handbook Pairs 23-24|p=15}} The Short Program for the season 2023β24 must include one solo jump.{{r|Tech Panel Handbook Pairs 23-24|p=15}} Throw jumps are "partner-assisted jumps in which the woman is thrown into the air by the man on the takeoff and lands without assistance from her partner on a backward outside edge".{{r|Tech Panel Handbook Pairs 23-24|p=18}} Skate Canada says, "The male partner assists the female into flight."<ref name="skatecanada" /> The types of throw jumps include: the throw Axel, the throw Salchow, the throw toe loop, the throw loop, the throw flip, and the throw Lutz.<ref name="skatecanada" /> The throw triple Axel is a difficult throw to accomplish because the woman must perform three-and-one-half revolutions after being thrown by the man, a half-revolution more than other triple jumps, and because it requires a forward takeoff.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Henderson |first1=John |date=26 January 2006 |title=Duo Throws Caution to Wind |work=The Denver Post |url=https://www.denverpost.com/2006/01/25/duo-throws-caution-to-wind/ |access-date=21 July 2022}}</ref> The speed of the team's entry into the throw jump and the number of rotations performed increases its difficulty, as well as the height and/or distance they create.<ref name="skatecanada" /> Pair teams must perform one throw jump during their short programs; senior teams can perform any double or triple throw jump, and junior teams must perform a double or triple toe loop.{{r|Tech Panel Handbook Pairs 23-24|p=18}} If the throw jump is not done correctly, including if it has the wrong number of revolutions, it receives no value. A well-balanced Free Skating program must contain a maximum of 2 different Throw Jumps (different name and/or different number of revolutions).{{r|Tech Panel Handbook Pairs 23-24|p=18}} A throw jump is judged as a jump with a higher number of revolution if it is over-rotated more than a quarter revolution; for example, if a pair attempts a double throw jump but over-rotates it, the judges record it as a downgraded triple throw jump.{{r|Tech Panel Handbook Pairs 23-24|p=18}}
