“I hit my toe pick after I threw her,” Michael Marinaro of Canada said after precisely that happened during their calamitous short program at the Olympics on Friday night, “and I fell on my face.”

And her combination in the second half of the program — a quadruple Lutz, vaulting from the outside edge of the toe pick, followed by a triple toe — was the hardest jumping pass performed in the history of the Olympics, for women or men.

Depending on whether it’s a toe pick jump or an edge jump, the movement patterns they do to get that vertical velocity will differ.

For toe pick jumps, you’re sort of vaulting off the toe pick to pop up.

Particularly for the toe pick jumps, the horizontal velocity you have can be used to do more like a pole-vaulting-type motion.
