There was a packed auditorium at the first British synchronised skating competition in two years at Alexandra Palace in London. With COVID regulations in force, organisers had their work cut out to check each skater’s lateral flow tests and temperatures along with every spectator, coach, chaperone, etc.
After 18 months of lockdowns, rink closures and massive disruption to training, Skate London will be the first synchro competition held in the UK since COVID began.
