For the second year in a row, the city of Sherbrooke organized the Regional Synchronized Skating Championships (CAN). What happened during this weekend?

While the French Cup was in full swing in Rouen, the skaters from the province of Quebec competed on the ice of Sherbrooke, Estrie (Quebec region). They performed their programs during the regional championships.

The competition started on Friday with Beginners I, II and Elementary. These teams received a certificate early in the afternoon, summarizing their performance against Skate Canada's evaluation standards criteria. Then the Pre-Juvenile (8), Juvenile (6), Pre-Novice (6), Adult PSY III (12) categories took place on the ice to perform their first performance. The end of the day ended with the official practices of the Intermediate (6) and Open (4) teams.

On Saturday, February 3rd, the day began with the official practices of the teams Novice, Junior and Senior (short program). Then the Pre-Juvenile, Juvenile, Pre-Novice, and PSY III Adult categories kicked out the skates for their last weekend performance. Later, Novice (2), Junior (1), Senior (1) Intermediate (6) and Open (4) started their competition. This second day ended after 10 PM with the categories Adult PSY I (5) and Adult PSY II (12).
