Youth and Adult Teams pass the torch to kick-off the Iowa Games, passing the flame to Tim Dwight, former Iowa Hawkeye and NFL standout to light the cauldron.

River’s Edge Synchronized Skating Teams"It's Great to Skate Together"
Mission Statement: To promote the sport of Synchronized Skating in the Quad Cities Area and develop strong athletes by teaching advanced skating skills for synchronized skating, sportsmanship, teamwork, goal-setting, responsibility & discipline. Synchronized skating is a growing sport. It can appear deceptively simple but calls for speed, accuracy, intricate formations and interesting transitions. A team is composed of 8-20 skaters and incorporates aspects of singles, pairs and ice dancing into a team sport. There are more than 500 teams registered with U.S. Figure Skating, representing more than 8,000 athletes. Synchronized skating is a challenging sport with its own vocabulary. With a little practice, both skater and family can master the lingo... block, intersection, pinwheel, traveling circle, etc. River’s Edge Facts
