Death Spiral (new): In the final position while the lady is performing the actual death spiral, both the man and the lady must execute a minimum of one (1) revolution with the knees of the man clearly bent and in full pivot position. The lady must skate on a clean edge with her body and head close to the ice surface, however she must not touch the ice with her head or assist herself with the free hand or any part of the body. The lady’s body weight is supported by the force of the spiraling edge and the hold of the man. The man must be in a centered position with a fully extended arm. Variations of arm holds and pivot positions (backward or forward) are possible. The change of the lady’s arm hold or the opposite hold of the man is counted as an additional feature. Any kind of position is counted as a feature if skaters’ hold lasts for at least one revolution; each additional revolution of the lady (full 360°) after the first revolution will count as one additional feature to increase the Level. Remark: If the man does not reach the pivot position at all (including toe pick in the ice), there will be no Level called and the value of the death spiral is 0 or, if the man does not stay in the pivot position (toe pick in the ice), while the lady is executing any kind of changes of positions or holds, the position of the lady does not count as a feature.
Step sequence (new): Should be executed together or close together and may include small jump-like movements with not more than half a revolution. Short stops in accordance with the music are permitted. Step sequence must fully utilize the ice surface. Credit will be given to a pair which changes places and holds or uses difficult skating moves together during a step sequence. A variety and/or complexity of turns and steps must be distributed throughout the sequence. The workload between both partners must be even to be taken into account for a possible higher Level. Spiral Sequences (new): Consists primarily of spirals; any shape is allowed, however the spiral sequence must fully utilize the ice surface. At least two (2) spiral positions by each partner must be executed. A spiral position in order to be counted must have a minimum of three (3) seconds hold. The number of spirals, the length of hold of position, the workload and the edges used must be even between both partners to be considered as “balanced”. If one partner executes no spiral at all, the Spiral sequence will receive no Level and consequently no value. A spiral sequence in which all executed spiral positions are held with less than 3 seconds receives no Level and therefore no value. A Spiral Sequence in which less than two positions by each partner (with at least 3 seconds hold) are executed will receive Level 1. Reason: To reflect changes included in the ISU Communication No. 1319; to allow more variety in twist lifts; to include a slight correction in the definition of the Jump sequence accepted after this Communication was issued; also for clarification.
