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.

Synchro Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 8 Element/Exercise CONTENT STAR 2 Linear Element Line Definition: Formation of one or two straight rows/lines that move together either side by side or one behind the other. Skaters must be distributed into lines as evenly as possible. Examples include: - Straight line - Parallel lines This element may contain: - Forward skating (two-foot skating not permitted) - Variety of steps This element may start from skating or a stand still. Performance Example: Starting from a stand still arrange skaters in one or two lines that are as equal as possible. Using a set of prescribed steps previously taught, the skaters will move the line(s) across the ice until the sequence of steps have been completed. The line(s) should stay straight and in formation as much as possible, paying attention to equal spacing between the skaters and between the lines if more than one line. Mandatory Requirements: - Meet the definition of the element - Minimum of half the ice coverage - 50% unison - 50% or more in correct shape Intersection Definition: Intersections are movements on the ice where two halves of the team/group move through each other simultaneously. Intersections may be performed using two lines only and must include face to face preparation. This element may contain: - Forward skating - A two-foot or one-foot glide at the point of intersection (pi) - Variety of steps NOTE: Rotation at the point of intersection is not permitted. This element may start from skating or a stand still. Performance Example: Starting from a stand still, arrange skaters in two equal lines facing each other. Using a prescribed set of steps previously taught, the skaters will move the lines towards each other in hold. At the point of intersection, the skaters will drop hold and the two lines will pass through each other. The skaters will then go back into hold and perform the steps previously taught to exit the element while maintaining speed and flow. Mandatory Requirements: - Meet the definition of the element - 50% unison - 50% or more in correct shape
