A poll will be created in the future for the top Finalists in this category. Don't forget to sign up for the GS Newsletter so we can let you know when it's time to cast your vote after the Finalists have been selected.

Please list this season's top ice dance lifts using the following format:
name of ice dancers / lift type (stationary, curve, straight line, rotational) / program (RD or FD)

Take into account the difficulty of entry and exit, original positions, smoothness of execution, etc.

Remember to number your choices and start with your absolute favourite.

1. Madison Chock and Evan Bates / Combination Curve Lift / Free Dance
It's no secret that Chock/Bates have some of the best lifts in the discipline, and this combination lift is so difficult. Madi hits really cool positions, and Evan's so strong to carry her through.
2. Madison Chock and Evan Bates / Straight Line Lift / Rhythm Dance

Yes but two thoughts: I'll be generous and call it an "homage" to Marley's lift in their Phantom FD; and that lift would not be possible without a crucial piece of costuming, namely his belt. Shades of Domnina/Shablin's notorious suspenders?

This isn't to say it isn't a wowser of a lift.
