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.

Pattern #3 consists of rotational Choctaw drill. 4. Pattern #4 consists of Forward Outside Loop Pattern with Inside Twizzle. The following considerations in evaluating the pattern should be used: (a) Pattern #1 – Edge Quality. Good control and sustained edges with equal lobes and no sub curves: • Control of the arc between the turns • Minimal wobbles after the turns • Turns placed at approximately 1/3 and 2/3 of the lobe • Correct edges with body and free leg control (b) Pattern #2 – Edge Quality. Knee / Ankle flexibility and body lean to achieve full ice coverage with depth of pattern: • Control throughout • Back Three Turn performed at the top of lobe • Forward Three Turn performed at 2/3 mark of the lobe • Controlled gliding edge between turns with nicely extended free leg • Smooth turns and strong carriage (c) Pattern #3 – Edge Quality. Increased knee / ankle flexibility and body lean to achieve depth of pattern: • Common axis used for pattern • Even lobes • Controlled flowing edges with strong carriage (d) Pattern #4 – Edge Quality. • Maintain average flow into and out of the loops • Demonstrating controlled knee action and correct twizzle • Majority of Loops should be placed at approximately the top of the lobe • All lobes are a similar size • Maintain flow throughout
