Skaters Line Up In Perfect Formation And When Music Begins The Audience Goes Wild

This Canadian skating team performed to a rock and roll song and became the 2015 champions of the World Synchronized skating competition. The audience was just as enthusiastic about their choice of music as the synchronized skating itself. 

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 rise 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.

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 or the ice or as part of a 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.

The beauty and incredible precision required to compete at a world figure skating level was on full display at the 2015 World Synchronized Skating Championship. Held in Hamilton, Canada, dozens of world class teams choose 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 worlds and in the Olympics. Given this illustrious history, it's hardly surprising that the Canadian synchronized skating team felt the pressure to perform.

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.
