It never occurred to me that synchronized skating wold be a thing, but it only makes sense. We already have synchronized swimming and synchronized gymnastics. This sport isn't an Olympic event (yet), and if it was, I wouldn't be able to embed a video. This video is from the U.S. Synchronized Skating International Classic, which (surprise) the U.S. dominated. The team shown here, Teams Elite Junior, won a gold medal. These skaters may have a future with Holiday On Ice or Disney On Ice. Or in accounting.

Wonderful witches flying in a storm. Or birds.
I know synchronized skating has been big here in Canada for quite a few years now. It provides a valuable team sport outlet for all those little girls who did figure skating growing up, just like cheer teams give somewhere for all those little girl gymnasts to go on to.
I was once on an Adult Synchronized Skating team (they exist!) It was a lot of fun!
I am impressed! At my peak, I could make circles around the rink, but that's about it.
