hey there! Same anon from earlier. I am a newbie FS fan, so, can I ask a question? Hope I ain't botherin ya. So, the serpentine lift that T/S do in the Pink Floyd program 2009, you know where they get into a lot of different positions. Is that type of lift considered easy by the judges, cuz they don't do those types of lifts often. It looks super hard and cool and would have loved to see more similar ones. Do T/S have any other similar lifts like that? Wich of their lifts do u think r the hardes

Hi there! Serpentine lifts aren’t considered easy. I think we don’t see those (and reverse RoLi as well) these days partly because of the rules. Since 2011 iirc, for the FD, teams have the choice not to do a long lift. Last Olympic season for example, the required lifts were 2 short lifts+ 1 long lift or 4 short lifts. Many chose the 4 short lifts option, including TS . And when teams choose to do a long lift, most prefer a combination lift. Maybe because it allows for more variety compared to the serpentine or reverse rotational lifts. And I think it’s easier to come up with a combination lift that satisfies Level 4 requirements. Not sure about this though as I haven’t checked the rules in so long. Hehe. So yeah, I believe those are some of the reasons why we no longer see serpentine lifts in programs.

Like you, I too the PF lift and it’s definitely one of my top fave VM lifts. It’s soooooo incredible. I actually wish they’d consider bringing it back in a show program. Anyway, in their senior career, TS have done 3 serpentine lifts. One in Valse Triste, another in Umbrellas of Cherbourg (gorgeous!also a favorite of mine) and the one in PF.

As for their hardest lifts, to my untrained eye, I think PF Serpentine and Carmen rotational lift. :)

I remember asking someone years ago regarding serpentine lifts, and she said one part that makes this type of lift harder is that aside from what’s happening during the lift (entry,transitions, etc), the two lobes/curves the lifting partner creates on the ice is also being judged and has to be of the same size.

Here is ach-nein ice dance tech post regarding the different lifts

#the GOEs are affected #so ultimately it's not worth the hassle #just use a combo lift and get all the pts lol
