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.

Freeskate Assessment Resource Guide July 2026 Copyright © 2026 Skate Canada 43 Content Requirement (STAR 2 - 5) Elements within a freeskate program are not assessed individually at this level. All freeskate program content must be attempted vs achieved. Note: Attempted does not indicate completion. For example, if a 1Lo+1Lo was planned and the skater fell on the first jump, this still qualifies as an attempt. Exception: The STAR 5 freeskate program requires that a single Axel is successfully landed (under-rotated or better). Determining the Assessment of Content (STAR 6 – Gold) Each element executed in the program receives an overall assessment. This overall assessment is based on the same criteria used in Freeskate Elements. A summary of these criteria is included on the back of the assessment sheet. It is important to remember the elements mandatory requirements and criteria. The only exception is in STAR 6; one double jump may be under-rotated (<) and still receive an overall assessment of Silver. Note: Any element that does not match the description is not eligible for assessment and must receive a BRONZE rating. Example of STAR 6: Program Content Standards ELEMENT BRONZE (below standard) SILVER (standard) GOLD (above standard) JUMPS Execution* *Single jumps demonstrate good height and distance. Air position is organized. Double jump height and distance may be minimal. Air position is somewhat controlled and aligned. Single rotation jump approach is confident with strong flow in and out. Axel or double jump approach may be tentative, slow and cautious. Little flow on landing. Solid form with moderate free leg extension and adequate knee/ankle bend. Held for 1 second. Speed/Flow Landing SPINS Execution* *Moderate speed of revs throughout spin. May have slight loss of control on exit. Flying spin may demonstrate poor air position. Spin may centre slowly. Skater may travel slightly on exit or when changing position and/or feet. Solid position with moderate extension. Body lines are adequate. Basic positions: have good extension and body lines. Centring Position STEP or SPIRAL SPIRAL: Position is solid with moderate extension. Bodylines are adequate. STEP: Generally, uses correct skating technique. Three-turns solid with good flow. Other turns may have some wobbles or loss of balance.
