What is the Survival Event?
The Survival Event is a fun and challenging competition designed to test skaters' endurance and control across three classic elements: jump landings, spins, and spirals.
- No Falls Counted: If a skater falls during any elements, no time will be recorded.
- No Cheated Landings or Take-Offs: Elements must be performed cleanly. If a jump landing or take-off is cheated, no time will be recorded.
- Jump Landing
- Each STAR level has a designated jump.
- Timing begins the moment the skater lands and continues until they touch the ice with any limb, break landing position, or stop moving.
- Spin
- Skaters may choose any spin or spin positions, with only 1 change of foot permitted.
- Timing begins when the skater enters the spin and stops when they stop spinning and exit.
- Spiral
- Skaters perform a spiral on either foot and edge.
- Timing begins once the skater is in a full spiral position and stops when they break position or stop moving.
The Goal!
The winner is determined by the combined total time across all three elements - jump landing + spin + spiral. The skater with the longest overall time takes the crown!
āBonus for STAR 5+ Survivours
- This element is judged (not timed) based on:
- Quality and execution of the turns.
- Ice coverage achieved throughout the sequence.
| SURVIVAL LEVEL | JUMP REQUIRED |
| Junior STAR | Any 2-ft or single jump can be selected |
| STAR 1 | Waltz Jump |
| STAR 2 | Salchow |
| STAR 3 | Loop |
| STAR 4 | Flip or Lutz |
| STAR 5+ | Axel |
| Adult | Any 2-ft or single jump can be selected |
š±Junior STAR Survival Event
- Landing Position (Jump of Choice) - Skaters select their jump, then hold the landing position.
- Two-Foot Spin or Change-Foot Spin - Skaters may choose either option, with timing starting once the spin begins and stopping when it ends.
- One-Foot Glide - Hold a glide on one foot for as long as possible.
Each element is timed, and the combined total time across all three determines the Junior STAR Survivour champion.
