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 35 Element/Exercise CONTENT STAR 7 and BO S Steps Performance Example: Closed S Step (Blues): From forward skating, the skater will step onto a FI edge with the free foot extended behind the skating leg. Rotating the upper body into the circle, the skater will draw the free foot into the heel of the skating foot. Ensuring the pre-bend has been established, the skater will then step onto a BO edge in the opposite direction, extending the new free leg forward in front of the body. The upper body of the skater will face outside of the new lobe. The entry and exit edge of the S Step must be held for a minimum of two seconds. Performance Example BO S Step: From backward skating, the skater will step onto a BO edge with the free foot held close to the skating heel. Rotating the upper body outside the circle, and ensuring a pre-bend has been established, the skater will step onto a FI edge on a new lobe, while extending the free leg in front of the body and placing the free foot on the ice in front of the body towards the direction of travel. The skater will then maintain a FI edge with the upper body facing inside the new lobe. The entry and exit edge of the S Step must be held for a minimum of two seconds. Mandatory Requirements: Three of four forward S Steps: - meet the definition of the turn - demonstrate a two second entry and exit edge Two of two backward S Steps: - meet the definition of the turn - demonstrate a two second entry and exit edge Twizzles Definition: A travelling turn on one foot with one or more revolutions which quickly rotates with a continuous (uninterrupted) action. The twizzles in STAR 6 – Gold must have a minimum of two revs to be considered for assessment. Note: A series of checked three-turns is not acceptable as this does not constitute a continuous action. If the traveling action stops during the execution, it becomes a spin rather than a twizzle. Performance Example: Starting from forward or backward skating, a glide or set number of prescribed steps, the skater will step onto a FI, FO, BI or BO edge to perform the twizzle. Two twizzles will be performed on assessment day. Skaters will draw for starting foot, direction and edge on assessment day. Example: RFO, in which case LBI would be the second twizzle. Note: The skater may exit the twizzle on two feet. Mandatory Requirements: Two of two twizzles: - meet the definition of the turn
