Figure skating has long been part of world culture. When the temperatures drop, few things are more wonderful than sliding across a glistening sheet of ice. Today, more than ever, skating is a popular thing to do on a wintry afternoon. It's also something that people love watching.

Many forms of figure skating have developed over the years. Competitions have arisen to showcase skater's skills and illustrate what is possible on the surface of the ice. Pairs, dance, and singles skaters delight the viewer with dazzling costumes, incredible footwork, fast spins, split-second multiple jumps, and a sense of audience.

In this video, the Canadian synchronized skating team performed a stunning routine at the 2015 World Synchronized Skating Championships—their high scores and the audience's wild cheers prove their excellence!

A New Form of Skating

From the days of Sonja Henie to the antics of Tonya Harding and her craving for figure skating glory, the sport has always had something special for viewers. Skating is not only an athletic competition. It's also an art. Movements that look simple can take many years of practice to flow smoothly across the ice.

Single skaters often occupy the center spotlight. Viewers watch in awe as a skater leans back and forms an expert spiral, a leg held high behind her. Now, a new form of skating competition has risen to provide people with the chance to show what they can do.

This form combines the beauty of singles skating with the excitement of group work. Now, more than ever, people who want to be part of the skating competition scene have a place at the rink and the medals.

Synchronized Skating

A relatively new form of skating competition, synchronized skating brings skating competition to a new whole level. Teams ranging from eight to twenty participants head for the ice as a team. Skaters have always partnered up for dancing on the ice or as part of an awe-inspiring pairs team.

The new variant takes this process to a whole new level and beyond. Synchronized skating is not yet an Olympic event. However, skaters can participate in a world championship event. This event is open to those skaters who have demonstrated their ability to master basic moves to an extremely high level.

2015 World Championships

The beauty and incredible precision required to compete at a world figure skating level were on full display at the 2015 World Synchronized Skating Championship. Held in Hamilton, Canada, dozens of world-class teams chose to enter. The results were mesmerizing. All forms of skating have been hugely popular in Canada.

Canadian ice hockey teams have won many world championship gold medals. Pairs, dance, and singles skaters have an equally impressive track record both at the world championships and in the Olympics. Given this illustrious history, it's hardly surprising that the Canadian synchronized skating team felt the pressure to perform.

True Skating Excellence

Taking the ice with great verve, the Canadian team won over the hearts of everyone in the audience. Set to fast-paced rock and roll tunes, the Canadian team brought the audience to its feet with a performance lasting nearly seven minutes.

High scores were quickly posted and the audience stood up delighted to salute the champions. Team skating looks to be one of the most exciting of all skating events. If you love really great skating, bring this team more well-deserved applause and tell the world.
