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.

One-foot glides

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 a standstill position, the skater places their feet in a T, V or L position (does not have to be precise). The skater applies pressure to the back foot and pushes off using the side of the blade. The skater then transfers their weight to the skating foot and maintains a one foot glide. The free foot should be held close to the skating leg. This skill must be trained on both feet. The glide is permitted to be performed on a straight line or a curve.

                      BACKWARD CIRCLE THRUSTS OR PUMPS

                      • 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.

                        • 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.
