Given the large number of teams that do lifts with a position like this, I would assume that TPTB have made it clear that the position is just like any other "lift" position. It is actually very challenging to be suspended like that - need a super-strong core and arm strength from both partners.And is it truly a "lift" if the girl is elevated all of 4 inches or so above the ice, stepping on her partner's boots and "striking a pose"?
