A twist lift is a pair skating move where the man lifts the lady in the air and then throws her. She rotates and twists and then he catches her on the waist and assists her with landing. In this photo, the 2008 U.S. National Pair Skating Chammpions, Keauna McLaughlin and Rockne Brubaker, perform the move during their winning performance.
