Required elements in competition vary from men's, ladies and pairs skating. There are common elements, though, and in singles skating they include: Axel jump, triple jump solo and triple jump in combination (with another triple or double jump), flying and sit spins, layback spin (ladies only), a spin combination and a step sequence. All these moves must be connected with footwork, spirals or a number of moves called transitions, that are choreographed to make a skating routine a "complete package."
Pairs elements include: side-by-side double or triple jump, double or triple twist lift, a double or triple throw, a death spiral, combination pairs spin, step sequences and transitions smoothly connecting the elements. Each year the International Skating Union (ISU) prescribes certain variations of elements in pairs that are to be performed that year.These guidelines include the grip used in a pairs lift, the edge to be used in a death spiral, and variations in the spin combination.
