Is Twist Lift the same as Twist Jump or are they different? Is it actually a lift, a throw or a jump?

Question

I need to build an ontology for figure skating and I can't work out which Twist Jump belongs to. Some says it is a jump, some says it is a lift but it looks like a throw in the air to me.Please help! Thank you!!

Answer 1

Do you possibly mean Twist Lift and Throw Jump?

A twist lift is where the man throws the lady (up) for a jump, she twists, then he catches her at the the waist as she comes down to place her on the ice.  

A throw jump is where the man throws a lady to do a jump (up and away from him) and she lands on her own.

Answer 2

Lifts are usually involved with pair skating, specially lift throws.
