In figure skating, an Axel is a jump where the skater takes off from the forward outside edge of one skate, rotates in the air, and lands on the back outside edge of the other skate. It is unique because it requires an extra half-rotation due to the forward takeoff. The jump can be performed as a single, double, triple, or even quadruple Axel, depending on the number of rotations completed before landing. The Axel is one of the most challenging jumps in figure skating, requiring strong technique, power, and precise timing to execute correctly.
