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]
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] A Euler is considered a non-listed jump and is not counted when used in a jump combination between two listed jumps.[5]
After the2026—2027 season, the Euler cannot be included in the jump combination during theshort program ofsingle skaters andpair skaters, but it is allowed only once during thefree skating program when executed between two listed jumps.[5] According to the ISU, also after the 2026—2027 season, "After the execution of an Euler (half-loop), no change of foot before the next jump is allowed".[6] 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][7]
