The World Synchronized Skating Championships are being held this weekend in Hamilton. A local team from Burlington had their last practice on the ice today before the big show.

23 teams from 19 countries are competing at the Synchronized Skating World Championships. Including a local team from Burlington, ‘Nexxice’.

The event moves around the world but this year it will be held here in Hamilton at the First Ontario Centre.
