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.

Coverage, updates and corrections

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.

Synchro Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 22 Re-skates In Synchro, teams/groups may re-skate elements if needed to achieve a passing result or to improve the overall outcome (i.e. Pass with Honours). The elements selected for re-skating may be selected in consultation with the team/group and the coach. Each re-skated element must be a different element. The number of re-skates permitted for each level can be found on the front of the assessment sheet. Example: Maximum 1 re-skate permitted Terms and Definitions Term Definition Line Skaters form one line or two parallel lines. Skaters must hold onto another skater in line. Lines must be as even as possible. Must cover half the ice length or comparable. Block Must have at least three lines. The skaters in each line hold each other, but the succeeding lines are not connected to each other. As the block advances each skater maintains their individual position and the rows and columns should remain straight. Must cover half of the ice length or comparable distance. Rotating Element - Circle All skaters form a closed circle shape. Each skater is attached by hold to each adjacent skater. Must be four skaters in each circle. If using two circle the circles may have a different number of skaters. Must rotate 720 degrees in one direction or comparable distance if both rotational directions are used. Rotating Element - Wheel Skaters form a wheel of two or more spokes. The skaters will perform the wheel in hold. Each spoke must have at least 3 skaters. Must rotate 720 degrees in one direction or comparable distance if both rotational directions used. Intersection A maneuver in which two lines cross on the ice. Two moving straight lines with the skaters in hold, approach each other, just before they hit, the skaters drop their arms and pass between the skaters of the other line. After the pass through the skaters re-join in their lines. Unison The sense of “oneness” where the movements, foot placements, body lines and positions of all skaters match or are synchronized. Equal movement of all skaters together. Shape and Spacing The correctness of the element shape and the even spacing between skaters.
