Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce the River Bulls, from Finland. They are the only all-male synchro team and they were founded in 2014.
I love the story of how they came to be ... like the classic song from "A Chorus Line" - "I'm watching sis go pitter pat, said I could that ...."
Let Matti Heinonen, one of the team's member explain:
It all began season 2013-14 when two of us were waiting and watching our daughters' rehearsal. Suddenly the other one said:"That seems to be so easy, maybe we should try it too? We know how to move in blocks because we have been in the army." From this moment the idea started to live in our minds and after some months the first skating courses for men were arranged.
It doesn't sound like they are heading to the 2017 World Synchro Championships in Colorado Springs next month. But neither am I ... as a spectator. I would love to see Worlds! If any of you are near Colorado Springs on April 7 or 8, you should go!!!

But the comment, "that seems so easy"...synchro? easy? Have some respect, yea?
I hear you! I went to see the Synchro sectionals and the teams were amazing. Would love to see the competition at Worlds.
