The wild west is the place of legends: cowboys and sheriffs come to mind, but of course we are talking about the legends that emerged from day 2 of the 2020 Canadian Synchronized Skating Championships that take place this weekend in Calgary.
While the eyes of the whole world were turned to the French Cup, all the Quebec teams competed for the fourth consecutive year, in the city of Sherbrooke at the Quebec regional synchronized skating championships.
After two days of exciting competition, synchro teams competing in Pre-Novice, Open and Adults divisions performed their programs in the CAA Centre located in Brampton, Ontario. Amazing performances highlighted the Winterfest competition. Let’s have a look back.
Canada got its 2020 representatives at the World Junior Championships in March. Finishing first and second respectively at Winterfest, the Quebec team Les Suprêmes and Nexxice from Ontario won the famous "world ticket" on Saturday evening. Even with great scores, Nova Junior will still have to wait. In the Senior division, Les Suprêmes claimed the gold title after an intense competition.
As every year, the first weekend of December is the launch of the competition season for the Quebec synchronized skating teams. The teams met at the Invitation St-Hubert and presented their programs to the judges and spectators, for the 25th edition.
The final day of the 2019 Skate Canada Synchronized Skating Championships was an exciting one. Nova claimed their second title of the event in Novice, and a Nexxice Open skated to win their 3rd consecutive Canadian championship.
