The '''loop jump''' is an edge jump. It was believed to be created by German figure skater [[Werner Rittberger]], and is known as the Rittberger in Russian and German.<ref name="ISU Media Guide 23-24"/>{{Sfn|Hines|2011|p=150}} It also gets its name from the shape the blade would leave on the ice if the skater performed the rotation without leaving the ice.{{Snf|Kestnbaum|2003|p=285}} According to [[U.S. Figure Skating]], the loop jump is "the most fundamental of all the jumps".<ref name="USFS-2"/> The skater executes it by taking off from the back outside edge of the skating foot, turning one rotation in the air, and landing on the back outside edge of the same foot.<ref name="skatecanada"/> It is often performed as the second jump in a combination.<ref name="kestnbaum-285">Kestnbaum, p. 285</ref>
