A Look at Synchronized Skating 

Originally known as Precision Skating, Synchronized Skating emerged in the 1950s and has since evolved into a highly technical and dynamic discipline of figure skating. It showcases speed, intricate formations, complex footwork, and breathtaking lifts, performed in perfect unison. Each team consists of 16 skaters, with up to four alternates. 

This year, 20 teams and 443 skaters from 16 ISU Members will take the ice in Helsinki, marking the fourth time the city has hosted the prestigious event since its inception in 2000.
