Qualifying teams for the U.S. Nationals in synchronized skating are in Colorado Springs competing for the title of champion. “We thrive off of the energy that we get from the crowd."
The team sees the U.S Championships as a practice round for Worlds, but are still treating it like any other competition day: full of rituals and traditions. They have a playlist that they have to listen to every song from on the bus, and walk into the arena listening to “On the Floor,” by Jennifer Lopez.
