SKATING
More than 300 skaters from across the UK are set to take part in the country's biggest ever domestic synchronized skating event in Sheffield next week.
iceSheffield is hosting the 2007 British RJS (Relative Judging System) Synchronized Championships on Monday.
A total of 22 teams will take part. Skaters will compete in five different categories including Senior, Junior, Novice, Juvenile and Adult. Teams will perform a free synchronized programme, which must include certain skating elements, to music of their choice.
Peter Morrissey, Ice Development Manager, said: "Synchronized skating is the fastest growing discipline of ice skating in the world and it is hugely exciting from a spectator point of view. The group performances are really good fun and generate tremendous excitement. With more than 300 skaters competing at the venue, plus all the supporters and spectators, we are expecting there to be an electric atmosphere."
Entry is £3 for adults and £1.50 for children and concessions. Information: 0114 223 3900.
