What it is Filled
A figure skating element in which one or more skaters elevate another skater or skaters above the ice, in pair skating, ice dance and synchronized skating; movement, support and duration requirements depend on the discipline and lift type, under International Skating Union rules.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent describe kinds of lifts, their rules and scoring under ISU regulations, and point to official technical documents.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Pair lifts are grouped 1-5 by hold (armpit, waist, hand-to-hip or upper leg, hand-to-hand press, hand-to-hand lasso); groups 3-5 require full extension of the lifting arm.
- Ice dance restricts sustained support above the lifter's head with fully extended arms, and sets time limits.
- Twist lifts throw the partner into rotation before catching.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- coach lifts in place of qualified coaches
- invent scores
Only with a human decision
- training under qualified coaches
May
- describe elements and rules from ISU documents
Moral aspects Filled
- athlete safety
- fair judging
Who is affected
- skaters
Owners Filled
Steward
nobody as a move; rules are set by the International Skating Union
