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 12 STAR 3 FREESKATE ELEMENTS – STAR 3 JUMPS Single Flip (1F) Definition and Description: The same basic definition as STAR 2 with an increased performance level of speed, height, and control. Single Lutz (1Lz) Definition: A toe-assisted jump with counter rotation that takes off from a backward outside edge; listed in the Scale of Values according to the number of revolutions. Description: From skating, skaters will establish a BO edge on the opposite foot to their landing foot in an upright balanced position. To prepare for take-off, the skater will rotate their body in the opposite direction of rotation while extending their arms and free leg (skating side forward, free side behind). As the skater applies pressure to the BO edge, thus increasing the counter rotation, the skater will reach their fully extended position before placing the free toe in the ice. Once the free toe is placed into the ice, the skating side will be pulled towards the toe on a BO 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 on the toe pick, 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 on a BO edge. Single Waltz + Single Loop Combination (1W+1Lo) Definition: A waltz jump immediately followed by a 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 loop by holding the free side in front in preparation for the loop take-off. The skater will then apply pressure to the BO edge, allowing the curve to increase. 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. When the weight reaches the toe-pick, the skater will apply pressure downward to launch the jump and complete 1 full rotation. The skater will then land on the same foot as take-off on a BO edge. Single Loop + Single Loop Combination (1Lo+1Lo) Definition: A loop jump immediately followed by a loop jump that uses the landing edge of the first loop jump for the take-off of the second loop jump. Description: The skater will perform a loop as per the description in STAR 2 with more power, speed, and flow. Upon landing the 1st loop jump, the skate will then prepare for the 2 nd loop jump by holding the free side in front. The skater will then apply pressure to the BO edge, allowing the curve to increase. 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. When the weight reaches the toe pick, the skater will apply pressure downward to launch the jump. Mandatory Requirements: - Fully rotated (lacking ¼ rotation or less) - Have correct take-off - Be successfully landed
