What is the classification of a Spiral Variation in the context of Group Lifts?

In the context of Group Lifts, a Spiral Variation refers to a specific position where the skater's body forms a spiral shape while being supported by others. This type of position is generally not classified as a difficult position because it does not require extreme body contortion or balanced support beyond what is typically expected in synchronized skating.

The classification as "not considered a difficult position" stems from the emphasis on the ease of execution and the level of technical challenge presented to the skaters. While it can be visually appealing and adds to the aesthetic quality of the performance, the execution of Spiral Variations usually relies on basic balance and control rather than advanced skills that demand significant strength, flexibility, or precision under duress.

In contrast, options regarding levels of difficulty based on strength of bend or specific conditions like full split suggest a subjective approach to determining difficulty that is not universally applicable to the concept of Spiral Variations. This indicates that such variations can have varying perceptions of difficulty depending on individual execution rather than a standardized classification typical of other positions in group lifts.
