Please see Sports briefs, B-3 BEN RAMSEY/PARK RECORD Skaters of Park City Icing, comprising figure skaters from ages 8-13, performs its routine during a dress rehearsal on Sunday at the Park City Ice Arena. This is the first team from the Figure Skating Club of Park City to qualify for the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships, held in Portland, Oregon, this year. After six years of work, this season’s team is first to reach nationals BEN RAMSEY The Park Record On Feb. 22-24, Park City Icing, a 16-person juvenile synchronized skating team, will become the first team out of the Park City Ice Arena to represent Park City at the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships in Portland, Oregon. As you might imagine, the sport is similar to synchronized swimming, but on ice. Park City Icing will go through a sixmove routine set to “Tritsch Tratsch Polka” by Johann Strauss II, during which they will be judged on the moves they perform and the skill with which they perform them — the same system used to judge figure skating in the Olympics. On Sunday, Park City Icing invited its athletes’ families to watch a dress rehearsal of the program. The girls — and one boy —, all between the ages of 8 and 13, took the cen- ter ice, forming a V. Erika Roberts, the team’s head coach, stood by the scorekeeper’s box. “Representing the Figure Skating Club of Park City, Park City Icing juvenile!” she said, then cued their music. She watched with a kind of quiet apprehension as the team started its routine. She said it still makes her nervous to watch. “Just because we’re a new team and they’re inexperienced, so we don’t know what they are going to do,” she said. The team was formed last May, and started practicing in August. “As a coach, once you put a skater, as an individual or a team, on the ice, you don’t know what they’re going to do,” she said. It’s nerve wracking.” But the team skated its routine cleanly, and the parents in the stands applauded. “Let’s get out falls out,” Roberts says to the team. They lined up around the center circle, then fell down, into a ring of upturned knees and legs. “It’s kind of a tradition,” Roberts said.
