International Synchronized Skating Season Continues

OTTAWA, ON (January 29, 2024) – The international synchronized skating season continues in February with Canadian junior, senior, and elite 12 teams competing in three events. Both the French Cup (Rouen, France) and the Challenger Series PGE Hevelius Cup (Gdansk, Poland) will take place from February 1-3, 2024, while the Challenger Series Marie Lundmark Trophy (Helsinki, Finland) will close out the month of synchronized skating competitions from February 10-11, 2024. 

After forming as a team in 2023, NEXXICE Elite 12 will compete in this relatively new skating category at the French Cup. They will be joined in France by their junior team who recently finished second at the 2024 Canadian National Skating Championships. 

The NEXXICE senior team and the Nova senior team, who captured bronze and silver respectively at Nationals, will go head-to-head once again at the Hevelius Cup. The Les Suprêmes junior team, who won gold at Nationals, will compete in the junior competition along with Gold Ice who finished sixth.  

Nova Senior will compete again the following weekend at the Marie Lundmark Trophy, where they will be joined by Les Suprêmes Senior who recently won gold at the Budapest Cup. The Les Suprêmes junior team will also compete back-to-back, joined by the Nova junior team.
