Loops, axels, salchows...it all gets kind of muddled. Does anyone know if there's a diagram, or a set of pictures, or perhaps an introductory video on YouTube, that shows what the differences are between the different types of jumps? I can distinguish whether a skater does one, two, or three rotations on a jump, but I cannnot yet see much difference between the various jumps, and would never be able to identify them if the announcers weren't doing so.
