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 42 STAR 9 Element/Exercise CONTENT STAR 9 Forward Loop change Loop Backward Loop change Loop Definition: A one-foot sequence of two loops consisting of a forward or backward loop performed as per the definition, followed by a change of edge and a second forward or backward loop. Performance Example: Starting from forward or backward skating, a glide, or a prescribed number of steps, skaters will perform a forward or backward loop, followed by a change of edge into another forward or backward loop. The skater may choose starting foot and edge but must repeat the same sequence on the opposite foot to ensure all four forward or backward loops are performed. Example: Forward Loop change Loop: RFO loop, change of edge, RFI loop & LFO loop, change of edge, LFI loop Backward Loop change Loop: RBI loop, change of edge, RBO loop & LBI loop, change of edge, LBO loop Mandatory Requirements: Note: Each loop will be assessed individually to meet the mandatory requirements. Three of four loops (for each direction): - meet the definition of the turn - demonstrate an entry and exit edge of approximately one second for each turn. 360 Degree Spiral Challenge Definition: Unassisted spiral position that is held as per the description below for 360 degrees that covers approximately a third of ice. Performance Example: The skater may start in either clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Skating to gain speed, the skater will execute a forward or backward unassisted spiral on their foot and edge of choice. The skater must hold their spiral position for the full 360 degrees that covers approximately a third of the ice. Mandatory Requirements: Meets the definition of the element, which includes: - the specific definition of the field move: unassisted spiral - ice coverage: 360 degrees, that covers approximately a third of the ice
