synchronized team skating
Quick Summary
Synchronized team skating, also known as precision skating, is a discipline within figure skating that involves a team of eight or more skaters performing movements in unison. Created in 1956, this sport features formations such as circles, lines, blocks, and wheels. While spirals are permitted, jumps exceeding one revolution and lifts are not allowed. Synchronized skating has its own levels of competition, including national and world championships, similar to other figure skating disciplines. The International Skating Union (ISU) oversees this and other skating sports.123
