Jump named for a Norwegian (4)

I believe the answer is:

axel

(Other definitions for axel that I've seen before include "Skating jump involving a mid-air turn" , "Ice-skating jump" , "What skater may do" , "A Torvill & Dean manoeuvre" , "part of skating performance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
