A well balanced Free Skating Program must contain:

Jumps
1T 1S 1Lo 1F 1Lz 1A 2T 2S 2Lo 2F 2Lz 2A

    • Jump combinations and the jump sequence consist of two (2) jumps.
    • In the jump sequence the second jump must be an Axel type jump with a direct step from the landing curve of the first jump in to the take- off curve of the Axel jump. One full revolution on the ice between the jumps (free foot can touch the ice, but without weight transfer) keeps the element in the frame of the definition of a jump sequence. Jumps executed in a jump sequence receive their full value.
    • No triple and quadruple jumps are allowed.
    • Only one single jump and one double jump (including Double Axel) can be repeated once.
Spins

Maximum of two (2) spins of a different nature (abbreviation)

  • one of which must be a spin combination with a change of foot (minimum of eight (8) revolutions) or without a change of foot (minimum of six (6) revolutions).

  • In both spins flying entries are allowed.
Steps

There must be a maximum of one (1) Choreo sequence which must be clearly visible. This element has a fixed base value and will be evaluated by the judges in GOE only.
