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.

Freeskate Assessment Resource Guide July 2026 Copyright © 2026 Skate Canada 10 STAR 2 FREESKATE ELEMENTS – STAR 2 JUMPS Single Salchow (1S) Definition and Description: Same as STAR 1 with more speed, height, and control. Single Loop (1Lo) Definition: An edge jump with natural rotation that takes off from a backward outside edge; listed in the Scale of Values according to the number of revolutions. Description: From skating, the skater may establish a BO edge on their take-off foot with the free foot trailing in front but not weight bearing. The upper body will be rotated toward the center of the circle. Pressure is applied to the BO edge thus initiating a spiraling edge. As the edge spirals towards the middle of the circle, the body will move as a unit in the direction of rotation, as the weight moves to the front of the skating foot and the free foot is lifted off the ice. When the weight reaches the toe pick, the skater will apply pressure downward to launch the jump and complete one full rotation. The jump is landed on the same foot as take-off. Additional entries: May include a forward inside three-turn as preparation or other variations. Single Flip (1F) Definition: A toe-assisted jump with natural rotation that takes off from a backward inside edge; listed in the Scale of Values according to the number of revolutions. Description: From skating, the skater may perform a FO three-turn on the opposite foot of the landing leg to prepare for this jump. On the BI edge, the free leg will extend back with the free arm as the skating side extends forward with the upper body rotated to the center of the circle. The skating leg bends to apply pressure to the ice. The free toe is then placed into the ice, allowing the skating side to pull towards the toe on a BI edge. As the weight is transferred to the free toe, the body will move as a unit in the direction of rotation. When the weight is fully transferred, the skater will apply pressure downward to launch the jump and complete one full rotation. The skater will then land on the same foot as take-off. Additional entries: May include a forward inside C Step as preparation or other variations. Waltz + Single Toe Loop Combination (1W+1T) Definition: A waltz jump immediately followed by a toe loop jump that uses the landing edge of the waltz jump for the take-off. Description: From skating, the skater will perform a waltz jump with power, speed, and flow. Upon landing the skater will prepare for the toe loop by extending the free foot behind and free arm in front before placing the free toe in the ice to initiate the take-off for the toe loop. Mandatory Requirements: - Fully rotated (lacking ¼ rotation or less) - Have correct take-off - Be successfully landed
