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.

Skills Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 38 STAR 8 Element/Exercise CONTENT STAR 8 Forward Rocker – Three￾Turn Sequence Backward Rocker – Three￾Turn Sequence Forward Rocker – Three-Turn Sequence Definition: A forward rocker turn executed as per the definition of a rocker followed by a backward three-turn as per the definition of a three-turn. Backward Rocker – Three-Turn Sequence Definition: A backward rocker turn executed as per the definition of a rocker followed by a forward three-turn as per the definition of a three-turn. Performance Example: Starting from forward skating, a glide, or a standstill, the skater will step onto a FO edge to perform a FO rocker. The skater will then use the check position on the exit of the rocker to prepare and perform a BO three-turn. Using the exit edge of the last turn (FI), the skater will step onto the opposite lobe to perform a FI rocker. Using the check position on the exit edge of the rocker, the skater will prepare and execute a BI three-turn. The skater must demonstrate a minimum two second glide entering and exiting each turn. Repeat on the opposite foot. Repeat exercise backwards on both feet. Skaters may perform sequences in any order. Mandatory Requirements: Three of four Rocker – three-turn sequences (for each direction): - meet the definition of the turn - demonstrate a two second entry and exit edge for each turn. The exit edge of the first turn may count as the entry edge of the second turn. Forward Counter – Bracket Sequence Backward Counter – Bracket Sequence Forward Counter – Bracket Sequence Definition: A forward counter performed as per the counter definition followed by a backward bracket performed as per the bracket definition. Backward Counter – Bracket Sequence Definition: A backward counter performed as per the counter definition followed by a forward bracket performed as per the bracket definition. Performance Example: Starting from forward skating, a glide, or a standstill, the skater will step onto a FO edge to perform a forward outside counter. The skater will then use the check position on the exit of the counter to prepare and perform a BO bracket. Using the exit edge of the last turn (FI), the skater will prepare to step on the opposite lobe onto a FI edge to perform a forward inside counter. Using the check position on the exit edge of the counter, the skater will prepare and execute a BI bracket. The skater must demonstrate a minimum two second glide entering and exiting each turn. Repeat on the opposite foot. Repeat exercise backwards on both feet. Mandatory Requirements: Three of four Counter – Bracket Sequences (for each direction): - meet the definition of the turn - demonstrate a two second entry and exit edge for each turn. The exit edge of the first turn may count as the entry edge of the second turn.
