Freeskating Tests

This is an abbreviated extract of the full set of regulations; there are a number of "finer" regulations that also apply. For the full listing, you will need a copy of the Freeskating Manual.

You must skate a routine of your own choice containing elements from the requirements lists, using a piece of music of your choice. Copies of a contents list, specifying the elements and their order in your routine, must be provided to the judges and referee.

At the completion of the routine, prior to awarding the marks, judges may request to see any failed item skated on its own. When marks are awarded, if a candidate fails more than two items, or two items of the same type, the a fail mark will be awarded.

All spins must be rotated at least three revolutions.

NOTE: The details below are manual extract from the freeskating manual. While care has been taken in the process, minor errors may have occurred. Do not presume more than general guidance from this listing!
