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.

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.

Synchro Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 10 STAR 3 Element/Exercise CONTENT STAR 3 Pivoting Element Block Definition: A pivoting block must meet the definition of the STAR 2 block. During the performance, a common centre will be established for the block to pivot around. The fast end of the block must pivot around the slower end. The block must pivot a minimum of 90 degrees. The common centre may remain stationary or may progress down the ice. Skaters must maintain a closed block formation throughout. This element may contain: - Forward and backward skating (two-foot skating not permitted) - Variety of steps and turns This element may start from skating or a stand still. Performance Example: Starting from skating or a stand still arrange the skaters in a closed block formation (ex: 3x2, 3x3, 3x4). Using a set of prescribed steps previously taught, the skaters will move the block down the ice and will pivot (turn) to come around the end of the ice, until the sequence of steps has been completed. The block should stay in formation as much as possible paying attention to equal spacing between skaters and between rows. Mandatory Requirements: - Meet the definition of the element - Minimum of half the ice coverage - Stable throughout (no fall) - More than 50% unison - More than 50% in correct shape Linear Element Line Definition: This element is created by skaters forming one or two straight rows/lines that move together either side by side or one behind the other. Skaters must be distributed in lines as evenly as possible. Examples include: - Straight line - Parallel lines This element may contain: - Forward and backward skating (two-foot skating not permitted) - Variety of steps and turns This element may start from skating or a stand still. Performance Example: Starting from skating or a stand still the skaters will form one or two lines (in hold) that are as equal as possible. Using a set of prescribed steps previously taught, the skaters will move the line(s) across the ice until the sequence of steps have been completed. The line(s) should stay in formation as much as possible, paying attention to equal spacing between skaters and between lines if more than one line. Mandatory Requirements: - Meet the definition of the element - Minimum of half the ice coverage - Stable throughout (no fall) - More than 50% unison - More than 50% in correct shape
