How to use this

Start with a country, a beginner programme or an element. Open a level to read its collected requirements. Expand programme stages to see the exercises inside.

Try double Axel or three turn in the search box. Results show available definitions and matching evidence; not every question can be answered from the collection.

Compare programmes with similar purposes, then inspect their stages and requirements. Similar content does not mean the tests have the same difficulty or that one qualification transfers to another country.

Follow source links to check the original context. Where saved documents are available, you can read them here. Documents keep their dates; translations may be working translations rather than official wording.

This is a growing collection, not every requirement from every country. Missing results can mean missing or untranslated evidence, not that a skill is absent from a country’s programme. Read the coverage notes before drawing conclusions.

Coverage, updates and corrections

This is a growing reference, not a complete collection of every test. Material may be partial, historical or a working translation. No match does not mean a country does not teach an element.

Reference presentation updated . This is not a claim that every source was checked on that date. Individual documents retain their own dates and limitations.

France · Patin national 8

Patin national 8

Level-specific requirements available in the 2026/2027 French source

Prerequisite: See source-specific prerequisites; display order is not a prerequisite rule.

Patin national 8: requirements

CSNPA handbook 2026/2027, 21 August 2026. Original French is preserved. An independently reviewed English technical translation is not yet available. Display order is not a statement that every earlier item is a prerequisite.

The preceding test is mandatory for a club medal. The judge may require one element to be repeated. Assessment is YES/NO without assigned marks. General club-test admission and execution rules on pages 49–50 also apply; the attempt allowances printed in individual sections do not remove those rules.

Working English

Working English reading aid for PN1–10 in the 21 August 2026 CSNPA handbook, not independently reviewed. Unresolved named positions stay in French. Original instructions and shared club-test rules also apply.

Two attempts are allowed for jump, combination and spin sections. Only one listed turn is requested, announced or drawn by the judges. The Thoren entry's printed code remains an unresolved terminology issue.

  1. Double loop.
  2. Combination containing a single or double jump and a mandatory double toe loop; no order is inferred.
  3. Axel–Thoren–double Salchow. The source prints 1A+1Lo+2S; this aid does not silently substitute another code for Thoren.
  4. Combination spin with one change of foot and at least one position change on each foot, at least 5 + 5 revolutions.
  5. Single-position attitude spin, at least 6 revolutions; original named position retained.
  6. Judge-selected counter (contre rocking): left/right, forward/backward, inside/outside, one of the eight listed variants.
  7. Half flip écarté; original qualifier retained.
