There are 25 teams competing, see the roster here. Two teams from the US are in the mix, the Haydenettes and Miami University. This ain't the first rodeo for either of them, and I think the Haydenettes have the bigger (long) shot at a medal, most likely bronze, if any.
The powerhouses are usually Finland and Canada, who went gold, silver and bronze, respectively, last year (Team Finland 2 got bronze). They are all amazing to watch, like optical illusions on ice!
The competition is only airing on Ice Network, but as with most synchro events, there will probably be individual clips of the teams on YouTube uploaded by fans shortly after the competition.
Here's the video of Team Finland 1 (Marigold Ice Unity) gold medal-winning free skating program from last year's Worlds in Italy. I've never seen a synchro team skate so fast!
