A Rippon jump in figure skating is a rotational jump where the skater takes off and performs the rotation with both hands clasped together above the head, instead of holding them in the usual chest position. This arm position adds a unique visual element to the jump, emphasizing the skater's elegance and control during the rotation. The skater then lands smoothly after completing the spin in mid-air. The Rippon jump requires strong technique, balance, and precise timing to execute effectively.
