Yes. The best Russian team is "Paradise" from Saint Petersburg. The exhibition gala usually has local teams.Its too hard. I'm guessing these Russians are the best at it? And to me it looked like they still obviously lost sync quite a few times.

Are they much better? I've seen synch skaters in plenty of the Plushenko shows and they were a bit better but still not something you'd watch at the Olympics.Yes. The best Russian team is "Paradise" from Saint Petersburg. The exhibition gala usually has local teams.
They are not, the best team within Russia is Team "Paradise" and outside of Russia "Les Supremes" (CAN), the "Rockettes" (FIN) and "Team Unique" (FIN).I'm guessing these Russians are the best at it?
As far as I remember, Plushenko has a junior team in the show.Are they much better? I've seen synch skaters in plenty of the Plushenko shows and they were a bit better but still not something you'd watch at the Olympics.
I would gladly cut the the "team event" and add synchro.If Synchro was added, the IOC would end up telling the ISU that the numbers in the other categories would need to be cut to compensate for it.

The nordics seems the bests to me. Even if Russia dominated pre-covid and pre-ban.Its too hard. I'm guessing these Russians are the best at it? And to me it looked like they still obviously lost sync quite a few times.
Is there anything you dont know about skating?As far as I remember, Plushenko has a junior team in the show.
Other strong Russian teams are "Crystal Ice" (Moscow) and "Tatarstan" (Kazan)
To add to this, Synchro Worlds was live streamed on the ISU channel:They are not, the best team within Russia is Team "Paradise" and outside of Russia "Les Supremes" (CAN), the "Rockettes" (FIN) and "Team Unique" (FIN).
Wouldn't help that you'd still have to fly in large numbers of skaters in addition to the skaters in the other four disciplines. The team event uses mostly skaters who are already there for the individual events.I would gladly cut the the "team event" and add synchro.

Even if it doesn't reduce the number of people competing (it can just reduce a bit since some skaters are allowed just for the team event), it one less competition to organize.
Lucky you didnt miss much in the first group, except for Aliev.
Pretty spectacular discipline. Too bad it's practically extinct. Would be a much better event to have than "team event".The only other thing that would not have affected the number of people going that could have introduced instead of the Team Event would be Fours Skating. It uses the Pairs Skaters. But, it is practically extinct as a sport.
