TheEuler is an edge jump infigure skating. The Euler jump was known as the halfloop jump inInternational Skating Union (ISU) regulations prior to the 2018/19 season when the name was changed.[1] Its invention has been attributed to both to Carl and Gustav Euler, two Austrian brothers who won the men's pairs competition at the1900 European Championships,[2] as well as to Swedish figure skaterPer Thorén, who won a bronze medal at the1908 Olympics in London. It is thus also called theThorén jump in Europe.[3] It is also a jump used inartistic roller skating.[4]
The Euler is performed when a skater takes off from the back outside edge of one skate and lands on the back inside edge on the opposite foot. It is most commonly done prior to the third jump during a three-jump combination and serves as a way to put a skater on the correct edge in order to attempt aSalchow jump or aflip jump. It is only recognized as a listed jump when performed with a single rotation.[5]
According toU.S. Figure Skating, two benefits of the name change are that it simplifies the notation system for judges and makes it easier for skaters to attempt three-jump combinations, even if single loop jumps are already a planned part of their programs or if they accidentally pop out of a previous loop jump.[1] When used in combination with two listed jumps, the Euler is counted as a listed jump with a base point value of 0.50 points.[5][6]
