Default hard to shift into 1st gear?

Not sure why but it seems very hard/impossible to shift into first gear without the car almost coming to a complete stop. Today, I tried to shift into 1st gear at 40 km/h while approaching a stop sign coasting with the clutch disengaged, and the gear just whined made a grinding noise but wouldn't engage, it only engaged when the car was almost at a dead stop. I've also noticed that on a few other manual cars i test drove. Don't first gears usually come with synchros like other gears? Why is it so hard to get into first gear?
