From Wikipedia - Reading time: 3 min

A Jaeger or Jäger is a move on horizontal bar or 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][2] The skill is named after Bernd Jäger, who was the first gymnast to perform the skill in an international competition.[3]
