Amazed to see Russia in first.
Rockettes' program was very inventive :clapper:
Is Nexxice the favorites?
Reigning world champions, so probably.

It's similar to how the other disciplines are marked, with PCS and TES. Each element (block, wheel, line, intersection, lift, moves in the field, etc) has a base value depending on the level they are going for (senior teams aim for level 4), and then of course there's GOE given for each element which can be +3 to -3, as it is with the other disciplines.
I thought Lee had retired.

I just watched my first synchro program! Other than looking at the beautiful skaters, what else am I supposed to be looking out for? Was wondering how the technical scores were marked!:hopelessness:
I think nexxice will be having a bit of a "rebuilding year" this season, as a lot of long-time team members retired after their world championship win in April. Several skaters have moved up from junior this year, so it's really a mix of new skaters and veterans who have to gel together as a team.
The Rockettes element where the girl was in the center of the spiral was very clever. They really worked hard on the creative elements.
For the person finding it emotionally flat, seeing synchro live feels very different than on a screen. I think cameras are still trying to find the best way to film it. One thing like any skating disciple that you miss on a screen is speed of the skating.
