Mens Elements
(a) double axel
(b) a triple jump preceded by connecting steps
(c) a combination of a double jump and a triple jump or two triple jumps, without intervening steps or turns
(d) a flying spin - the flying position must be achieved in the air, and the skater must do at least 8 rotations in the spinning position
(e) a camel spin or sit spin with a change of foot - at least 6 rotations on each foot
(f) a spin combination with a change of foot and at least two changes of position - the spin must include camel, sit, and upright positions, and there must be at least 6 rotations on each foot
(g) and (h) two different step sequences

For Pairs
(a)overhead lift (with a specific takeoff that changes each year)
(b)double twist lift
(c) side-by-side double or triple jumps

(g) a spiral step sequence
(h) another step sequence

Overhead Lifts
Note: How the International Skating Union (ISU) classifies overhead lifts.
The ISU classifies overhead lifts by the way the man supports his partner on the way up, not by the position she assumes in the air.

Hand to hand lasso
Distinguished by the woman doing a half turn on the way up, so that she faces in the same direction as the man with her legs behind his shoulders. (In a back press lift, the woman also faces in the same direction as the man, but her legs remain in front of his shoulders.)

Hand to hip
Star lift

Hand to hand
Forward or back press lift, loop lift

Hand to waist
For example, the forward platter, where the man lifts the woman with both hands at her waist.
