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.

NZIFSA Stroking Skills Test Manual 96 GOLD (TEST 7) STROKING SKILLS TEST DESCRIPTION 2. Spiral sequence The skater begins with a series of spirals, transitioning from a RBO spiral to a RFI spiral through the use of a RBO3 that is parallel to the long barrier of the rink. The free leg is then lowered into a RFI open mohawk and steps wide with a two-foot power push transition into two backward R over L crossovers. The skater steps onto a LFI and then immediately onto a RFI-RBO spiral sequence, again transitioning between spirals with a RFI3. The skater then does a cross stroke behind LBO swing roll followed by a RFO triple three-turn. Then step LFI into a RFI3, followed by a step forward into a LFO crossover and finally a LFO spiral. The pattern is repeated in the opposite direction, and transition steps are optional. (NOTE: All spirals should be sustained with an extended free leg to demonstrate the skater’s form and flexibility). This move may start in either direction. Introductory steps are optional. Focus: Extension and edge quality COMMON ERRORS, AREAS OF DIFFICULTY & TEST EXPECTATIONS 2. Spiral Sequence FOCUS: Extension and Edge quality CE - Inability to maintain a consistent flow throughout the entire move -Poor ice coverage -Poor pattern -Open mohawks are weak -Poor extension -Spirals not held or sustained on an excellent edge AD -Second half of pattern -Ability to maintain a consistent flow throughout the entire move -Maintaining speed throughout TE -Excellent symmetric ability of extension -Expect pleasing presentation and excellent edges during spirals -Excellent ice coverage -Should see basic spiral position (no variations such as holding the knee or blade) -LOOK – excellent form and extension; SEE – you are totally comfortable watching the complete execution of the move (skater should demonstrate good use of knees); HEAR – ‘ripping’ sounds and power strokes
