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 13 FREESKATE ELEMENTS – STAR 3 SPINS Backward Upright Spin (BUSp) Min 3 revs in position Definition and Description: The same basic definition as STAR 1 with an increased performance level of speed, height, and control. Backward Sit Spin (SSp) Min 3 revs Definition: From a forward inside spiraling edge, 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: This spin starts with a FI spiraling edge with the free side extended behind. The skater will perform a FI three-turn as the free-side rotates outside of the circle to initiate the spinning action. Once the skating foot performs the three-turn onto the BO edge, the skating knee will bend to 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. Skaters will exit by rising and opening the free leg position toward the front, applying pressure to the BO edge, and moving the free leg behind the skater to a landing position. Forward Camel/Sit Combination Spin (CoSp) Min 5 revs Definition: A forward spin which includes a change of position from a camel to a sit. This combination spin must include both the camel and the sit positions with two revolutions in each of these positions. Description: The skater will start the spin as per the description in STAR 2 for a camel spin. After a minimum of two revolutions in a camel position the skater brings the free leg around to acquire a sit position as the arms come forward and the skating knee bends. The skater will rotate in the sit position for a minimum of two revolutions before exiting the spin. 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
