What's Synchronized Skating About
Synchronized skating is the newest and fastest growing segment in the sport of figure skating. With the first team skating at the University of Michigan in the Late 1950's, synchronized skating has now become an international sport. U.S. teams are now competing with other teams from Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Italy, Japan, Russia and Sweden, just to name a few. 1966 saw the first official International Championships, the first step to becoming an Olympic event.
A synchronized skating team consists of 8 to 24 members, skating in unison to a choreographed program, set to music. Programs are performed in front of judges during competitions and in exhibitions such as ice shows. The teams also perform during intermissions at hockey games and at other such events.
