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.

Skills Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 17 STAR 2 Element/Exercise CONTENT STAR 2 Backward Edges Definition: A series of backward edges (minimum four) performed on an axis. This element must include both backward outside and backward inside edges. Performance Example: Starting from a standstill, skaters push off onto BO or BI edge. Using a line for axis across the width of the ice, the skater will execute a series of lobes on the designated edge using blade pushes. Once the skater has reached the other end of the ice, they will return by performing a series of backward lobes on the opposite edge. Mandatory Requirements: Three of four backward edges: - meet the definition of the edge Forward Circle on Circle Definition: A full circle of forward skating that is performed balancing on one foot and then transferring to the opposite foot to perform another circle in the same direction. Skaters may choose their starting foot and direction. Performance Example: Starting from a standstill, the skater may start with the left or right foot, on an outside or inside edge. The skater performs one blade push onto an edge and holds that edge for a full circle. Once the skater has completed the first circle on one foot/edge, they will perform another blade push to complete a second circle, in the same direction on the opposite edge. Both circles will be skated on approximately the same size circle, thus creating a “circle on circle” exercise. Note: Both directions must be trained (CW and CCW). Mandatory Requirements: - meet the definition of the edge and element Backward Three-Turns Definition: A series of backward three-turns performed in any order. All four backward turns must be performed (RBO, LBO, RBI, LBI). Performance Example: Starting from a standstill, a glide or prescribed steps, the skater may choose foot and starting edge as they perform all four backward three-turns. The skater may or may not return to a standstill position for the subsequent turns. Mandatory Requirements: Three of four three-turns: - meet the definition of the turn
