	Synchro on TV
	Oh yeah, sorry for the late notice, but you can actually watch some synchronized skating on TV tomorrow morning! US Synchro Nationals are on Lifetime tomorrow morning (Friday, April 9th) at 8AM Eastern. I am quite sure they won't be showing my team (the adult division), just the Senior division (skaters mostly in their late teens and early twenties). Still, it should be really cool to watch, and it will give you an idea of what synchro skating looks like. I'm setting my ReplayTV to record it! Additionally, the World Championships will be on next week, also Friday, same time. Set your Tivos, ReplayTV's, and VCR's!

The Tivo-like device is primed and ready. Thanks for the heads-up!

wait. . . why are the late teens/early twenties called Seniors? Is there a junior division as well?

The divisions at nationals (roughly by age) go:

juvenile
intermediate
novice
junior
senior
adult open
adult masters

Senior is the most challenging division. Adult Open, my division, is for people who work full-time and don't devote as much time to their skating.

YAY! My ReplayTV has been set!
Thanks for the heads up! I've been ever so curious as to how exactly this stuff looks in motion (I'm sure stills just can't do it justice!)
I wish there were an alternative sports channel where this and other odd-ball sports could be observed (like synchro swimming, rythmic ballet, etc)

Hope you enjoy! Synchro looks best viewed in person, unfortunately. That's probably why there is so little television coverage. The cameras just can't capture the speed and excitement that well. But it's still better than just pictures!

Cool icon, btw. (:

I watched it yesterday and it was really neat! I can definitely see what you mean about the speed! Wow! Some of the transitions were amazing!
Why do some of the teams choose white outfits though? I don't know about live, but on TV, they were so very hard to see well on the ice.

	Re: OMG!

Yep, just watched it. Just the seniors...sigh. Well, that's okay. You got to see my friends at least!

Also, you got an idea of what the heck I've been talking about all this time....

I caught a few minutes of skating this morning (Unfortunately, I was not awake enough to put an empty tape into the tape recorder).

But I have a vague idea now of the sport you are writing about. The elegance and dynamics are very impressive and I wish I could watch it longer.

Oh yeah, sorry for the late notice, eh? but ya can actually watch some synchronized hockey-without-sticks on TV tomorrow morning! The Yankee Synchro Nationals are on Lifetime tomorrow morning (Friday, April 9th) at 8AM Eastern, eh?

I'm quite sure they won't be showing my team (the adult division), just the Senior division (skaters mostly in their late teens and early twenties) as they are a buncha keeners. Still, it should be really cool to watch, sitting on the chesterfield with some cheesies and a two-four, and it will give ya an idea of what synchro hockey-without-sticks looks like, eh? I'm setting my ReplayTV to record it, while I'm oat bootin' around.

Too, the World Championships will be on next week, also Friday, same time, eh? Set your Tivos, ReplayTV's, and VCR's, with oat a doat!

"Lifetime" is a standard cable station, at least here. I can't be any more specific!

In Canada we have the Life Network but it does not show sports.

I was hoping your source had the Canadian listings too.

Nope, it just says the chanel is "lifetime". Sorry!
