Career
Salchow did not compete in the 1906 World Championships that were held in Munich, as he feared that he would not be judged fairly against Gilbert Fuchs of Germany. In 1909, Ulrich Salchow first landed a jump 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 the Salchow jump in his honor.
After his competitive days, Salchow remained active in the sport, and was president of the International Skating Union (International Skating Union) from 1925 to 1937.
Furthermore, he was the chairman of AIK in Stockholm between 1928 and 1939 - the leading Swedish club in football, ice-hockey, bandy, tennis and other sports. Ulrich Salchow was married to the dentist Doctor Anne-Elisabeth Salchow.
Salchow died in Stockholm at the age of 71 and was interred there at Norra begravningsplatsen.
