The Grand Prix Final was the last time we'll see all the top Olympic contenders at the same competition before the Olympics so I was wondering what people's favourite lifts of the season were.
I'll start:

What are your favourite lifts this season?

I know they're not podium contenders, but I love this lift from Wang/Liu's FD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgxN8sMXBYM

I love the one's in the Shibs FD and also P/C's in the SD.

Unfortunately this season has also been great for hideous lifts. V/M are amazing but their rotational lift at the end of the SD is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. I get that it is incredibly difficult but she looks like she is about to strangle him with her legs.

I guess this raises the question- how do you balance being creative and difficult with being aesthetically pleasing? It must be a difficult problem to solve.

Though juniors, Polishchuk and Vakhnov's JGPF Black Swan FS had some remarkable balletic lifts... 3 of them from 3:34 to the end...
One almost forgets they are on skates!
