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 64 Element Definition Field Move Movement that emphasizes basic skating skill and edge control. Field moves include spirals, Ina Bauer, spread eagle, hydro blading, lunge/drag, pivot and similar extended edge moves. Field Move Categories Spirals: 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, including same and opposite foot catch spirals, Y-spirals, Biellmann, Charlotte. - Y-Spiral (STAR 1-5) a variation of a spiral in which a skater holds their free-foot to the side at shoulder level or higher. Spread Eagle: A curving, two-footed movement in which a skater skates with one foot on a forward edge and the other on a matching backward edge on the same curve. This type of field move includes variations including but not limited to: - Cantilever, inverted spread eagles. Ina Bauer: A two-foot movement in which a skater travels along the ice with one foot on a forward edge/tracing and the other on a matching backward edge/tracing on a different but parallel tracing. Hydroblading: A one-foot movement in which a skater travels along the ice with the skating leg in a strongly bent position and the other leg directed to the side. This type of field move includes variations including but not limited to free leg tucked under, extreme lean, etc. Lunge / Drag A movement in which a skater travels along the ice on one leg bent and the other leg directed behind with the boot/blade touching the ice. Pivot A two-footed movement in which the toe picks on foot are inserted in into the ice by a skater as a central pivoting point while the other foot travels in a circular pattern around the pivot point. These include pivots done on a: - FO, FI, BO and BI edge. One-foot sit glide* A one-foot movement in which a skater travels along the ice with one leg in a strongly bent position and the other leg directed forward parallel to the ice. NOTE: If a skater performs more than one move from a specific field move category, both will be considered the same type of field move. For example, skater performs a Y-spiral and an unsupported spiral. Both field moves are permitted but the skater will not be given credit for performing two different field moves. Field Move Sequence A collection of three field moves from at least two different categories, connected by steps, hops or turns. The sequence must cover at least ¾ of the ice and is encouraged to cover the full ice. Field moves should be easily identified and be held in a sustained position.
