Jaeger (uneven bars)

A Jaeger (or a Jaeger salto/somersault) is a very popular move on uneven bars in artistic gymnastics in which a gymnast swings backward in L-grip or reverse grip, and performs a front somersault, either in tuck, straddled, piked, or in layout (straight) position.[1] The skill is named after Bernd Jäger, who was the first gymnast to perform the skill in an international competition.[2]
