  1. No worries I am a synchronized skater and synchronized skating will be in the olympics for the first time at the 2010 winter olympics in canada.  


  2. I completely agree. 100%. But I heard that they are planning for it to be in the 2014 olympics by my synchro coach. :]

  3. I think it should be in the olympics. Synchro skaters work just as hard as any other skater and should be able to skate in the olympics.

  4. Four  years ago I was told that in 2012 synchronized skating would be or may be an Olympics Sport.

      

  5. NO WAY! SINGLES LIKE ME! BUT SYNCRO NO WAY! SORRY!

  6. I don't...

  7. I completely agree that it should be an Olympic sport and can not understand the hesitancy by the ISU and IOC to make it one. Figure Skating is the most highly watched sport in the winter Olympics. The year that Nancy Kerrigan and Tanya Harding competed in the Olympics (granted there was a ton of drama) more people in the United States watched the Ladies Finals than watched the Superbowl that year. Skating is a huge marketing tool and money maker for the Olympics. I think that if you add more of the and extremely profitable and popular sport to the line up you should.

    Plus synchro provides the grace and beauty that you expect with figure skating and combines it with danger, drama, speed and rivalries.

    I don't know how successful strating a chaing email would be. I think the most important thing to do is get more exposure for the sport. Teams need to exhibit more where they will be seen (not just at their rink, but outdoors during festivals, inside at malls...), put more videos up on youtube and have more people comment on them. When the Haydenettes were featured online at ESPN there were people from all over that wanted to see more. Write articles to local and national papers when your team does well or if you have an amazing story. Exposure is the most important thing in trying to get a sport to excel.  

  8. I agree!  Go ahead and work on that!

  9. very ignorant answers here.... of course it should be in the olympics i would like to hear the reasoning of those who are opposed to it my guess is they're ignorant and haven't seen real synchro
