Quick Summary
In figure skating, lifts are a spectacular partnered element where one skater elevates their partner. Common types include the overhead lift, where the man balances his partner above him, and the star lift, where the woman forms a star shape. The twist lift involves the man tossing his partner into the air for rotations before catching her. Other lifts, like the hydrant and toe overhead lifts, involve tosses and rotations with the partners facing each other or in overhead positions. These lifts showcase the strength and coordination between partners.12
