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.

Where it appears in the collected tests

Original exercise wording is retained. Named elements and standard jump codes are searched across requirement wording, technical fields and preserved translations. Other untranslated terminology can still be missed. A missing match is not evidence that a country does not teach this skill.

                      • From forward skating, the skater enters a course of pylons set in a staggered line with the pylons approximately 2.5 metres apart. As the skater approaches each pylon, they will pick up their inside foot and lean towards pylon to create a one-foot curve. Once the curve is complete, they proceed to the next pylon using forward skating and repeat on the opposite foot. As skater becomes proficient at this skill there will be fewer steps between the pylons. Ideally, the free foot should be held close to the skating leg for increased balance.

                      • From forward skating, the skater initiates a glide on two feet to establish balance. The skater shifts their weight onto one foot and lifts the other foot up and back, extending the leg. The upper body leans forward so that the torso is parallel to the ice while free leg extends up to hip level or higher (90°position). Spirals at 85 degrees (slightly lower than hip level) will be permitted. This skill may be done on a straight line or curve. This skill must be trained on both feet.

                      • Placing the feet shoulder-width apart, perpendicular to direction of movement, the skater will move sideways by making snow with the advancing foot. The skater bends their knees/ankles to start. One foot remains in place (stationary) while the advancing foot slides laterally applying enough downward pressure to shave the ice. Once the advancing foot has travelled as far as it can go, the weight is transferred to this foot to allow the skater to pick up the stationary foot and return to the starting position. Repeat.

                      • Thrusts: From backward skating on a circle, the skater initiates a glide on two feet no wider than shoulder-width apart. Using the side of the blade, the skater applies pressure to the inside edge of the outside foot and pushes outwards and forwards, maintaining weight on inside foot, and lifts the foot off the ice. The skater holds this glide for approximately one second before returning to a two- foot glide position. Repeat. Emphasis is on the “bend/push” action. Pumps: Using the description above, the skater performs the push keeping both feet on the ice. Instead of holding the one foot glide, the skater will continue to repeat. Emphasis is on the “bend/push” action. Both the backward circle thrust, and pump are initiated from a backward “c” push. Coaches have the option to teach one or both methods as both are considered progressions for backward crosscuts.

                          FORWARD POWER JUMP

                          • From forward skating, the skater swings one leg forward while applying pressure downward on the skating foot to propel the skater into the air. The leg that swung forward returns to land under the body and quickly transfers the weight to the opposite foot to perform a forward glide exit. Skaters may land on the toe pick or the flat of the blade before pushing onto the forward glide. Train both feet.

                            ALTERNATING FOOT SPIN

                            • The skater initiates a two foot or one-foot spin. While maintaining reasonable balance, the skater picks up or rotates on one foot before changing to the other foot. This action is repeated until the end of the spin. Travelling is acceptable. The number of revolutions on each foot is not important as this skill is a progression to more advanced spins.

                            • From backward skating, the skater initiates a one foot glide on a straight line or curve. Extending the free leg back, the toe pick is firmly planted into ice to act as a lever. The skater pulls backward onto the toe and transfers their weight to push off the ice. The skater jumps up vertically with no rotation and lands on the same or opposite foot. Skater may choose both take-off and landing foot.
