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 14 September 2026. 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.

FORWARD SPIRAL

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.
