context_section_description: T
  The standard abbreviation for the toe loop jump.
  'Tano jump
  A jump arm position variation made famous by Brian Boitano (hence 'Tano) where one arm is extended overhead instead of folded at the chest during a jump. This increases the difficulty of a jump.
  Three-turn
  A one-foot turn with a change of edge that results in a '3' shaped tracing on the ice.
  Throw jump
  A pair element in which one skater throws the other into the air, where she completes a normal skating jump. Throw jumps usually have more height and power than normal jumps because of the extra help involved.
  Toe loop jump (T)
  A toe-assisted jump that takes off from the back outside edge.
  Toe jump
  A general term to refer to any of the three jumps that use a toe pick assist.
  Toe pick
  The teeth at the front of a skate blade that assists a skater in jumps and spins.
  Toe step
  In ice dance, a step in which the skater walks from one toe pick to the other.
  Traveling
  When a spinning skater moves across the ice while spinning instead of centering the spin in one spot.
  Triple jump
  A jump with three full rotations (1080 degrees) in the air (3 and a half rotations for the triple Axel)
  Two-footed landing
  The landing of a jump where both feet touch the ice. A proper landing is on one foot.
  Twizzle
  A quick multi-rotational turn on one foot while moving forwards or backwards.
