Synchronized skating is a popular discipline both within the United States and around the world. Synchronized skating is a team sport in which 8-20 skaters perform a program together. It is characterized by teamwork, speed, intricate formations and challenging step sequences.
As with other disciplines, teams perform a program with specific elements, including blocks, circles, wheels, lines, intersections, and moves in the field.
