Karl Emil Julius Ulrich Salchow (7 August 1877 – 19 April 1949) was aDanish-bornSwedishfigure skater, who dominated the sport in the first decade of the 20th century.[1]

Salchow won theWorld Figure Skating Championships ten times, from 1901 to 1905 and from 1907 to 1911.[2] This is still a record, which he shares withSonja Henie, who also won 10 titles in the 1920s and 1930s, and withIrina Rodnina, who won 10 titles in the 1960s and 1970s.[3] Salchow did not compete in the 1906 World Championships that were held inMunich, as he feared that he would not be judged fairly againstGilbert Fuchs of Germany.

When figure skating was first contested at theSummer Olympic Games inLondon (1908), Salchow also won the title with ease and became one of the oldest figure skating Olympic champions. In addition, Salchow won theEuropean Championships a record nine times (1898–1900, 1904, 1906–1907, 1909–1910, 1913) and placed second in the World Championships three times.

Salchow was famous for hisSalchow Star figure, which he used for a second-place finish at theWorld Championship inDavos, Switzerland in February 1900.[4][5]

In 1909, Ulrich Salchow first landed ajump in competition in which he took off on the back inside edge and landed on the back outside edge of his other foot. This jump is now known as theSalchow jump in his honor.[6][7]

After his competitive days, Salchow remained active in the sport and was president of theInternational Skating Union (ISU) from 1925 to 1937.[8] Furthermore, he was the chairman ofAIK in Stockholm between 1928 and 1939 – the leading Swedish club in football, ice hockey, bandy, tennis and other sports.
