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.

Freeskate Assessment Resource Guide July 2026 Copyright © 2026 Skate Canada 11 FREESKATE ELEMENTS – STAR 2 SPINS Forward Sit Spin (SSp) Min 3 revs Definition: A spin in which the skater remains in a sit position while rotating. The supporting leg must be bent at least to a ninety-degree angle. The thigh of the skating foot must be parallel to the ice surface. Description: From skating, skaters will execute a BI edge preparation, allowing the upper body to rotate outside of the circle and the free leg extended. The skater will then step on a FO spiraling ending with a three-turn. During the spiraling edge the skater’s free side starts from behind and moves forward in preparation for the “sit” position as the skating knee bends. Immediately after the three￾turn, the skater will complete the sit position by bringing the free leg to the skating leg and lowering the body to achieve a position where the thigh of the skating leg is parallel with the ice. Arms in the sit position should be fully extended to the front of the body and held downward toward the free leg. The skaters will exit the spin by rising and by stepping onto a BO edge with their free foot. Additional entry: FI three-turn to step onto the FO spiraling edge. Standstill starts not permitted. Forward Camel Spin (CSp) Min 3 revs Definition: A spin in which the skater remains in a spiral position while rotating. The free leg (including the knee and foot) must be held at hip level or higher. Description: From skating, skaters will execute a BI edge preparation, allowing the upper body to rotate outside of the circle and the free leg extended. The skater will then step on a FO spiraling edge with the upper body placed forward over the skating foot, in preparation for the camel position. During the FO spiraling edge, the skater’s free side extends behind. The skating side arm reaches in front and moves in the direction of travel to allow the free side to initiate the rotation when the skater performs the three-turn. Immediately after the three-turn, the skater will rise on the skating leg, keeping the upper body forward to achieve a spiral position. Arms in the camel position should be extended to the sides of the body encouraging a slight arch of the back. The skaters will exit the spin by rising and by stepping onto a BO edge with their free foot. Additional entry: FI three-turn to step onto the FO spiraling edge. Standstill starts not permitted. Change Foot Upright Spin (CUSp) Min 3 revs per foot Definition: An upright spin that has a change of foot with a minimum of three revolutions on each foot. This spin may have a forward or backward entry. Description: Skaters will perform a forward upright spin for a minimum of three revolutions before transferring their weight to the opposite foot while maintaining their spin in the same direction to perform a backward upright for a minimum of three revolutions. Additional entry: FI three-turn to step onto the FO spiraling edge or FI spiraling edge if backward upright spin is first. Mandatory Requirements: - Definition of basic position(s) achieved* - Establish a centre - Be stable throughout - Each spin must have the minimum number of revolutions identified * Each position, to be counted, must meet the definition of the basic spin position, and be held for a minimum of two revolutions Passing Requirements: 5 of 7 elements at Silver or better
