Never found a live feed, but the archives will be on IceNetwork next week. Can't wait to see the skating, it was apparently an awesome event with enthusiastic cheering sections from Canada and the U.S.!
The Finns demonstrated their dominance of synchro again, taking the gold and silver. The bronze went to the one and only Haydenettes! After a decade of top ten finishes at worlds, they left with a shiny souvenir. They posted an appreciation of their fans on synchroboards.com and joked that they had worried about becoming the Red Sox of figure skating, going so long without a medal at worlds. While they are lovable, they've definitely never been lovable losers with their overall record.

Synchro Viewing Update
IceNetwork has announced they've reached an agreement with Universal Sports to broadcast the 2010 World Synchronized Skating Championships.... on-demand so archives will be available next week.
Still without a stream, but I found a few people to follow on twitter: @whitethenubeige and @coachkortney. Yes, 120 character tweets is all I have plus the reports from my friends. Hey Universal Sports, what is the point of getting rights to broadcast if you're not going to broadcast? On top of that, SkateBuzz and IceNetwork, why not fight for live broadcast rights instead of on-demand fluff? I'm sure there is a great reason with the ISU, but I think the best way to grow a fan base is to get out there on multiple outlets.
Here's the standings from the short program, the Haydenettes are 2nd:
1 Team Finland 1
2 Team United States of America 1
3 Team Canada 2
4 Team Sweden 1
5 Team Finland 2
6 Team Canada 1
7 Team Russia
8 Team Germany 1
9 Team United States of America 2
10 Team Japan
11 Team Sweden 2
12 Team Germany 2
13 Team Czech Republic
14 Team Italy
15 Team Switzerland
16 Team Hungary
17 Team France
18 Team Australia
19 Team Austria
20 Team Croatia
21 Team Belgium
22 Team Republic of South Africa
23 Team New Zealand
