Welcome to Lake Placid! On behalf of U.S. Figure Skating, I am pleased to welcome you to Lake Placid, New York, for the ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships 2023. We are thrilled to have this prestigious event back in the United States for the fifth time since 2000, though this is the first time the event will be hosted in Lake Placid. As the host of the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Winter Games, skaters and fans alike will be able to enjoy the city’s rich figure skating history in and around the venue. We look forward to watching many great performances by the world’s best synchronized skating teams. We wish all teams the best of luck as we know all the hard work that goes into competing at the highest level. On behalf of U.S. Figure Skating, I want to thank all the coaches, officials, volunteers, parents and fans for their unwavering support of synchronized skating. And to the athletes — your dedication and passion for the sport continues to push synchronized skating forward. We wish you all the best. I hope you thoroughly enjoy this year’s World Synchronized Skating Championships!
