SYNCHRONIZED SKATING
ABOUT SYNCHRONIZED SKATING
Harmony. Uplift. Artistry. This is Synchronized Skating. Precision, teamwork, and expression come together as teams move in seamless unison, forming ever-shifting patterns on the ice. It’s powerful, elegant, and emotionally resonant. Most teams feature 16 Skaters (12 in Senior Elite), performing a Short Program and a Free Skating set to music that spans genres. The aim: total synchronization, with each element, like blocks, wheels, and footwork, scored for technical difficulty and presentation. The result is a shared artistry unlike any other. The season peaks between January and April, with early events starting in the Autumn in the Northern Hemesphere.
‘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. The newly formed Synchro9, will see a change to this format with a knockout process – Check out the recently exhibited Synchro 9 format which will be part of the 2028 Youth Olympics.

DONATIONS & SPONSORSHIP
Majestic Ice Australia (MIA) is proud of the outstanding achievements of all Majestic Ice Teams Junior (National Champions & Australian Representatives 2023/2024 and Team Unity (Senior) Synchronized ice skating team (8 times National Champions)/
Team Unity’s success qualified them to represent Australia at: ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships in Austria 2026
As Synchronized skating is not as yet an Olympic Sport, these events are the peak international event for the sport of Sychronized Skating. But changes are afoot with the Synchro 9 set to feature at the 2028 Youth Olympics.
Both Junior and Senior team skaters have defied the odds in their achievements, 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. It is hoped that 2026 will bring good news with the re-opening of their beloved rink!
MIA thanks the following rinks for supporting our skaters: Ice Zoo, 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 places a large financial and personal 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.
