The Euler is an edge jump in figure skating. The Euler jump was known as the half loop jump in International Skating Union (ISU) regulations prior to the 2018/19 season when the name was changed. Its invention has been attributed to both to Carl and Gustav Euler, two Austrian brothers who won the men's pairs competition at the 1900 European Championships, as well as to Swedish figure skater Per Thorén, who won a bronze medal at the 1908 Olympics in London. It is thus also called the Thorén jump in Europe. It is also a jump used in artistic roller skating.
