“Don’t underestimate the Force!” Darth Vader was right. Team Force from Canada proved themselves worthy of gold medals in Oberstdorf, Germany, where adult skaters from five countries competed this weekend.
The annual ISU International Adult Figure Skating Competition took place over five days in Oberstdorf, Germany, at the end of May. Of the 350 skaters represented in all skating disciplines, five Adult teams and one Masters team took part in the event.
The event took place in sunny Turku last weekend. Altogether 91 teams and about 2200 skaters competed in eight categories. One more time during this season the audience was allowed to enjoy the spectrum of fantastic performances.
Because of the big amount of the teams in every category, the competition was divided into two groups. On Saturday the 8th of February, the skaters of Group 2 performed. 12 Adult, 18 Beginners, 10 Basic Novice, 9 Juvenile, 9 Senior B and 10 Junior B teams skated their programs.
The first Finnish Interclub-level Synchronized Skating Qualification competition of the season was arranged in Vantaa Trio Arena from 23rd to 24th November. There were amazing 127 teams in seven categories participating in this big event. The teams had been divided into two groups. The first group skated on Saturday and the second one on Sunday. ISU scoring system was used in some categories: Masters, Juniors B and Seniors B, but mostly the jury used the Finnish Synchronized Skating scores.
