Todes (from German Todesspirale - “death spiral”) is an element of pair figure skating on ice , when the partner describes the spiral around the partner.

Todes Requirements
During the execution of the final position, when the partner is in the position of the todes (starts at the beginning of the entry curve, when one of the partners is on one leg on the edge of the todes, and the other partner is also on one leg or in a position, such as a boat, a pistol etc.), both partners must complete at least one (1) revolution in the full todes position when the partner's knees are clearly bent. To get a higher level, the partner must be in the low position of the compass (the lower surface of his buttocks is not higher than the upper surface of the knee, resting on the tooth of the occupied leg). At the same time, the partner should slide in a todes on a clean edge, and her body and head should be close to the ice surface, but the partner should not touch the ice with her head or help herself with her free hand or another part of the body (which is a gross mistake). The partner’s body weight is supported by the ridge of the ridge sliding on ice and the partner’s grip. The partner can be in a centered position with a fully extended arm. Variations of grip and compass position (back or forward) are possible. [one]
Types of Todes
According to the position on the ice of the ridge, the partners distinguish: [1]
- Todes forward-inward - the partner glides back on the outer rib, the partner - forward on the inner rib. The partner performs the compass and holds the partner’s hand with his fully extended arm of the same name with his sliding leg. The partner is tilted sideways to the ice, and her arm is fully extended when she moves in a circle around the partner in this position. Any variation of the partner’s position is allowed while maintaining the position of the compass, as defined, and sliding the partner around the partner on the inner edge.
- Todes forward-outward (very rarely performed) is the same as for todes forward inward, but the partner moves in a circle around the partner forward on a clear outer edge.
- Todes back-out - both partners slide back out. The partner performs the compass and holds the partner’s hand with his fully extended arm of the same name with his sliding leg. The partner is tilted back to the ice and her arm is fully extended when she moves in a circle around the partner in this position. Any variation of the partner’s position is allowed while maintaining the compass’s position as defined, and sliding the partner around the partner on the outer edge.
- Todes back-in - the same as for todes back-out, but the partner moves in a circle around the partner back on a clear inner edge, leaning towards the ice.
Todes forward-inward
Todes back-in
Todes back-out
Todes back and forth.
A partner in a difficult position - touches the skate with her free hand.
Todes in the current judiciary
According to the referee system introduced in the 2004/05 season, the todes in the protocols is designated as “Ds”, indicating the type of the todes before the abbreviation “Ds” and the level of the element after, [2] for example, BiDs3 - todes back and forth at level 3. Designations for types of todes:
| Type of | Abbreviation |
|---|---|
| Forward in | Fids |
| Forward out | Fodes |
| Back in | Bids |
| Back out | Bods |
According to the amendments to the Special and Technical Rules adopted by the 53rd ISU Congress, in adults the todes in the free program should differ from the one prescribed in the short one . [3]
