"Why Not Synchro" is an ongoing campaign on social media through the hashtag #whynotsynchro and #whynotsynchro2018 on [[Facebook]], [[Twitter]], and [[Instagram]]. This was popularized at the Mozart Cup, held in Austria in January 2014. During the medal ceremonies, teams gathered on the ice and created the shape of the [[Olympic rings]]. This image was then shared over social media as skaters petitioned to raise awareness of the sport. A petition to the [[International Olympic Committee]] was posted on [[change.org]] calling for 15,000 signatures and asking the IOC "Synchronized Figure Skating: Make it an Olympic Event." The petition states "The time has come to add this incredible event to the pinnacle of the sport of figure skating."<ref name=":0" />
