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.

Synchro Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 14 Element/Exercise CONTENT STAR 4 Intersection Definition: Intersections are movements on the ice where two halves of the team/group move through each other simultaneously. Intersections may be performed using two lines only and must include face to face preparation. This element may contain: - Forward and backward skating (two-foot skating not permitted) - Variety of steps and turns At this level a three-turn or C Step is permitted at the point of intersection. This element may start from skating or a stand still. Performance Example: Starting from skating, skaters will form two equal lines. Using a prescribed set of steps previously taught, the skaters will skate towards each other in hold until they face each other. At the point of intersection, the skaters will drop hold and the two lines will pass through each other. The skaters will then go back into hold and perform the steps previously taught to exit the element. Mandatory Requirements: - Meet the definition of the element - All skaters must pass through each other, simultaneously - Stable throughout (no fall) - 75% unison - 90% in correct shape Moves Element Spiral Definition: The team/group must perform a forward unsupported spiral in pairs, small groups or as a unit. All skaters must begin the element at the same time. The position must be held for a minimum of three seconds. Spiral: A gliding position executed on one foot with free leg extended above hip level (including knee and foot). This element will start from skating and be performed with the skaters in a hold position. A variety of holds may be used. Performance Example: Starting from skating, skaters will join in hold with another skater, a small group of skaters or the full team/group. Using a set of prescribed steps previously taught, the skaters will perform a spiral while maintaining hold. Mandatory Requirements: - Meet the definition of the element - Must be in hold (pairs, small groups, full team) - Stable throughout (no fall) - 75% unison - 90% in correct shape
