Synchronised or precision skating as it used to be known, is the
figure skating version of a team sport. A team is made up of a dozen or
so like minded individual skating in formation. If you have seen a sky
diving team performing aerial ballet after jumping out of
a plane then you have the concept.
The name of the discipline has been changed from precision to synchronised
in recent times, so you often hear both terms. Not to be confused
with that riveting(?) spectator sport synchronized swimming!
If you have rudimentary skating skills, don’t see yourself as
jumping and spinning just yet, this is an ideal place to develop your
talents. The intricacies of dancing or the athleticism of freeskating
are not required, but it develops the control and discipline that are a
prerequisite should you desire to progress into either of these areas.
It is quite common for a skater to be in a synchronized team at the same
time as pursuing glory as an individual.
Our
top synchronised team is called Silver Torque.
