The Skyliners Rescue Stranded European Synchro Teams!

The recent eruption of the Icelandic volcano and the disruption of the air travel to Europe has stranded a number of European Synchro teams after they competed in World Championship in Colorado Springs last weekend.  Some spent a few extra days sightseeing in New York after their competitions, and their return flights were cancelled.  After seeing a NY Post article on Friday, the Skyliners offered to assist some of them.  One of the families in Connecticut took in 10 people from Team Croatia.  Some of the Junior team skaters and parents hosted a dinner for Team Sweden 2 yesterday.  (This is Team Boomerang based in Gothenburg.  There were six cross skaters with their junior line - Team Convivium - who competed against The Skyliners in Junior Worlds.) 

Both Team Croatia and Team Sweden joined the Skyliners' clinic/try-out last night at Rye.  Approximately 75 skaters from the US, Sweden and Croatia worked together on various synchro moves and had a wonderful time.  The Skyliners skaters showed their true sportsmanship offering assistance to their fellow skaters!!

Here is the group photo from Sunday night.  The flag is a thank-you present from Team Boomerang.  It says "THANK YOU" and "SKYLINERS" on the yellow part and is signed by all team members.
