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.

Freeskate Assessment Resource Guide July 2026 Copyright © 2026 Skate Canada 14 STAR 4 FREESKATE ELEMENTS – STAR 4 JUMPS Single Lutz (1Lz) Definition and Description: The same basic definition as STAR 3 with an increased performance level of speed, height and control. Single Axel (1A) Definition: An edge jump with natural rotation that takes off from a forward outside edge; listed in the Scale of Values according to the number of revolutions. Unlike other single jumps which are one rotation, a single Axel has one and a half rotations. Description: From skating, the skater will prepare for their Axel jump with a BO edge set up. Stepping forward onto a FO take-off edge, the skater will pull arms back and then move them forward in conjunction with the free leg for take-off. The take-off foot will apply pressure to the ice through the toe to produce a launch and rotate in a natural direction according to the circle (like a three-turn). As the free foot launches passed the take-off foot the weight will begin to transfer to the rotational axis of the skater (opposite side to take-off side). The skater will complete one- and one-half rotations to land on a BO edge on the opposite foot of take-off. Single Flip + Single Toe Loop Combination (1F+1Lo) Definition: A flip jump immediately followed by a toe loop jump that uses the landing edge of the flip for the take-off. Description: The skater will perform a flip 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. Skaters will be expected to perform a proper take-off on the toe loop by extending the BO edge to or passed the toe for take-off. Single Loop + Single Loop Combination (1Lo+1Lo) Definition and Description: The same basic definition as STAR 3 with an increased performance level of speed, height, and control. Mandatory Requirements: - Fully rotated (lacking ¼ rotation or less) - Have correct take-off - Be successfully landed SPINS Backward Camel Spin (CSp) Min 3 revs Definition: From a forward inside spiraling edge, 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: This spin starts with a FI spiraling edge with the free side extended behind and upper body bent forward over the skating foot. The skater will perform a FI three-turn as the free-side rotates outside of the circle to initiate the spinning action. Immediately after the three-turn, the skater will rise on the skating leg (on a BO edge), 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. Skaters will exit by rising and applying pressure to the BO edge and moving the free leg behind the skater to a landing position.
