Synchronized Skating

Synchronized skating or synchronised skating, a large and fast-growing discipline, consists of 8—20 (the number of skaters on a team depends on the level) athletes skating on ice at one time moving as one flowing unit at high speeds . This discipline of figure skating was originally called precision skating in North America because of the emphasis on maintaining precise formations and timing of the group.

Famous quotes containing the word skating:

    Good writing is a kind of skating which carries off the performer where he would not go, and is only right admirable when to all its beauty and speed a subserviency to the will, like that of walking, is added.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
