SYNCHRONIZED SKATING
About Synchronized Skating
Synchro” is a large and fast-growing discipline of figure skating where 8–20 skaters skate on ice as a team, moving as one flowing unit at high speeds while completing difficult footwork and precision moves.
The discipline was originally called ‘precision skating’ in North America because of the emphasis on maintaining precise formations and timing of the group.
Synchronized Skating uses the same judging system as singles, pairs, and ice dancing skating and is judged primarily on teamwork, precision, speed, difficulty, and performance.

DONATIONS & SPONSORSHIP
Majestic Ice Australia (MIA) is proud of the outstanding achievements of Majestic Ice Junior and Team Unity (Senior) Synchronized ice skating teams, following their gold medal achievements at the Australian Figure Skating Championships (AFSC) in 2023
The teams’ success qualified them to represent Australia at:
ISU World Junior Synchronized Skating Championships in Neuchatel, Switzerland, 2024
and
ISU World Synchronised Skating Championships in Zargreb, Croatia, 2024.
As Synchronized skating is not as yet an Olympic Sport, these events are the peak international event for the sport of Sychronized Skating.
Both Junior and Senior team skaters have defied the odds to reach this position in spite of their home rink, Canterbury Olympic Ice Rink, closing unexpectedly and indefinitely, for repairs on 31 August 2022. Through hard work, determination and dedication, our skaters have reached the top of their sport in Australia.
In the lead up to AFSC they trained as early as 4.30am and as late as 11.45pm at various Sydney rinks, travelling to the Erina and Hunter regions and even interstate, in order to find ice to train on. MIA thanks the following rinks for supporting our skaters: Ice Zoo, Macquarie Ice Rink, Erina Ice Arena, Hunter Ice Skating Stadium and Phillips Swimming & Ice Skating Centre, Canberra.
The costs associated with travelling such distances (including travel, accommodation and commercial ice hire) have already placed a large financial burden on these skaters and their families.
MIA Junior and Team Unity (Senior) synchronised ice skating teams would be most appreciative of any donations that you can make in support of their training and international travel costs.
