Woohoo! Thanks to synchroboards, I am now in possession of two synchro video files-- the Haydenettes short program from the Colonial competition, and their long program from Nationals. The Haydenettes, for those unfamiliar with the sport, are the best team in the United States. Fifteen-time national champions (seriously impressive when you realize there have only *been* Nationals for twenty years) and currently fourth in the world and looking to move up.

So, here I have for you: video, in .mov format! (These are yousendit links, so they're only good for a certain number of downloads. I'll add more if these get used up.)

Haydenettes short (Racecar theme, 40 MB)
a second link for the short

Haydenettes long (music from "Hidalgo," 70 MB)
a second link for the long

Enjoy!

How neat! Thank you so much for posting that, I've never seen synchronized skating before. Although I dind't always understand why everyone was clapping (clearly I'm missig some nuance) it is very pretty and fun to watch. What was the deal with the four girls who broke off and didn't sake? Backups?

Yay! I'm glad you liked it. :) Yes, those four girls were alternates. The limit is 20 girls on the ice plus four alternates, and most teams have a full line. My team this year only had 19 though, and no alternates. :(

Great! This will give me something to watch while I'm home trying desperately to make myself get better!

Caitlin, Alex and I were channel surfing last weekend and stumbled upon your competition from the week before on Cn8. I think we just missed your team, but watched some of the seniors. It was incredibly intense seeing so many skaters flying around in all directions on the ice at once. It scared the bejeesus out of me.

Sweet! Our senior team wasn't actually televised because they didn't make the top 6, but I'm glad you got to see everyone else! It can be a very intense sport. :) But I love it!
