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.

Freeskate Assessment Resource Guide July 2026 Copyright © 2026 Skate Canada 54 Element Definition Sequence related element definitions Choreographic Sequence A Choreographic Sequence consists of at least 2 different movements like spirals, arabesques, spread eagles, Ina Bauers, hydroblading, any jumps with maximum of 2 revolutions, spins, etc. Steps and turns may be used to link the 2 or more different movements together. Listed elements included in the Choreographic Sequence will not be called and will not occupy a box. The pattern is not restricted, but the sequence must be clearly visible. The Choreographic Sequence commences with the first skating movement and is concluded with the preparation to the next element (if the Choreographic Sequence is not the last element of the program). Spiral A gliding position executed on one foot with free leg extended above hip level (including knee and foot). This type of field move includes variations including but not limited to: - Supported spirals, same and opposite foot catch spirals, Y-spirals, Beillmanns, Charlottes. Note: Variations such as Biellmann, “Y” type, other similar types of positions with the free leg extended to the side or behind, and changes of free leg position while maintaining the spiral position (i.e. moving free leg from front to side, etc.) are permitted within the spiral position. Such variations or changes of positions are not considered to be different spirals for the purpose of identifying a spiral for the spiral sequence. Spiral Sequence A collection of at least two spirals on different feet with at least one spiral in an unsupported position. The spirals may be connected by any number of steps, turns, hops or other comparable moves. The first two performed spirals shall be identified as the required spirals for the sequence. The spirals must not be separated by other elements such as jumps or spins. Step Sequence All step sequences should be executed according to the character of the music. Short stops in accordance with the music are permitted. Step Sequences must fully utilize the ice surface. Turns and steps must be balanced in their distribution throughout the sequence. Jumps can also be included in the step sequence. Step sequences too short and barely visible cannot be considered as meeting the requirements of a step sequence.
