This was amazing! I do synchronized swimming and I know just how hard it is to hold your breath when you are out of it... These girls are incredible!!!
My friend who just passed on used to do synchronised dancing for the movies and special shows with a team of fellow dancers. They appeared in Las Vegas and many other major show venues.
I've done a form of wrestling before. And I've tried synchronized swimming maneuvers because I swim and play water polo. All you silly wrestling guy making fun of the sport; synchronized swimming is just as physically demanding or even more so in my opinion.
its on youtube, its not the olymics one even though thats what it says on the video but it is the same perfomance and they are wearing mj suits, its awesome.
if you actually do synchro swimming you would know that gb adn egypt and canada had the easiest routines even though all of them were hard, russia showed height control synchronisation flexibility and gb was just a routine that was interesting to watch
run 200 m while holding your breath, count the beats to a piece of music at the same time while you dont actually listen to it, hold splits for an hour a day just to get some flexibility hold the weight of 16 people on your arms and remember a routine, train 15 plus hours a day do that repeated over and over again thats not even half of how hard synchro swimming is ,you have to be committed and give up your life for this sport it was voted hardest sport its like saying gymnastics is not a sport
Somehow you equate the term "physically demanding" with being punched in the nuts, put in a headlock, or having to endure some other form of violent abuse. That's just benighted.
Synchronized swimming involves pure dedication, control and athleticism...among other things. Three things probably both you and I don't have...because all we do is sit on our comfy couches and watch Breaking Bad. Unless you can do the things they do, then you're in no position to say that "it's insane to consider this a sport." Besides, they're not hurting anyone, and the choreography is nice to watch...so what's the problem?
I dunno. That day all teams were freaking awesome! GB did a great job with Peter Pan and Egypt was very COOL! But the ones I liked the least were Australia, China and Russia (no offense there).
I mean no disrespect, but I don't understand how the olympic commission tried to remove wrestling from the games but didn't question this or rythmic gymnastics. Wrestling is an ancient sport and one of the most physically and mentally demanding, and they think this is a better fit for a games of athletic achievement
Look I know from experience, so before you say synchro should be out of the Olympics; I've been doing synchro for eight years and I'm sure it's more difficult than anything you've ever done in your whole life. We had to work hard for several decades just for synchro to gain enough respect to get into the Games in the first place.
This was amazing! I do synchronized swimming and I know just how hard it is to hold your breath when you are out of it... These girls are incredible!!!
That's clear, I practice synchronized swimming too, and when i see these performance, I feel myself pitiful. ^^'

Synchro seems like al fun and games, but trust me, it's as hard as any other sport, if not harder

My friend who just passed on used to do synchronised dancing for the movies and special shows with a team of fellow dancers. They appeared in Las Vegas and many other major show venues.

I've done a form of wrestling before. And I've tried synchronized swimming maneuvers because I swim and play water polo. All you silly wrestling guy making fun of the sport; synchronized swimming is just as physically demanding or even more so in my opinion.
Real nice!!! Whats the song btw??
THIS was mighty impressive.
Came here to watch this because of all the messed up pictures in the newspaper today of synchronized swimmers' faces. It's even creepier in video!
they hold their breath so long..omg excellent!

Wow. For a tech routine this is pretty damn creative
This performance was amazing

It is in you tube. Search: " Russian Swimmers Do A Michael Jackson Tribute Routine Olympics 2012"
You are the best !!! Russia ! I love your team !!! ever !! (From Thailand)

I feel like they must've gone nuts listening to this music over and over I know I would and my season is waaaay shorter
From the distance of the camera, you wouldn't be able to tell, anyways.

Awesome
МНЕ прям гордость пробрала за Рашу, девчонки умницы !

Should be great if you upload the routine of the yesterday's final!!

Девушки Великолепны!
if you actually do synchro swimming you would know that gb adn egypt and canada had the easiest routines even though all of them were hard, russia showed height control synchronisation flexibility and gb was just a routine that was interesting to watch
Such a strange but neat sport
+Aesthe TicPrawn (AestheticPrawn7) i do synchro its so much fun!
That was quite possibly the creepiest thing I have ever seen.
They did a good job at it. But still. Really creepy.
respect!
this was great but i was expecting more lifts!!
Since it’s a tech team they are only allowed the two at the start
run 200 m while holding your breath, count the beats to a piece of music at the same time while you dont actually listen to it, hold splits for an hour a day just to get some flexibility hold the weight of 16 people on your arms and remember a routine, train 15 plus hours a day do that repeated over and over again thats not even half of how hard synchro swimming is ,you have to be committed and give up your life for this sport it was voted hardest sport its like saying gymnastics is not a sport
I do that. in fact I had a synchronized swim meet today and got first place!
a nice trick.... i don't know if they will going to perform this in contest proper....
COOL!
Doing that, you'd think the water is four feet deep.
I was there :3 it was great!
Somehow you equate the term "physically demanding" with being punched in the nuts, put in a headlock, or having to endure some other form of violent abuse. That's just benighted.
I can only imagine how hard this must be and how much you would need to practise, me too lazy -_-
That was cool!!!
now i know why it's called synchronised swimming
Just define SPORT. your own definition of SPORT.
Where can I fond War and Step by Denis Garnizov pleaaaaaase, I love this music so muuuuch !
The Russian Team definitely have very original moves....and have the stamina and flexibility to carry them out...amazingly hard to do well.

This must be so difficult.
That pool is nine feet deep.

Like it.

OMG How can they do it!!! They are like mermaids lol
what is the title of this beautiful music.....? i really like it...
They drill holes in ice and top the reservoir with boiled water. And of course they never, ever, ever, get into the water without ushanka fur-hats
how deep is the water? btw, wow....amazing performance :O
team japan and team brazil have a good synchro too.
Spain already perform that routine, From 2009 in Rome maybe, or 2011 Budapest. Japan should've won the third place
And the Olympic Committee decided wrestling isn't an Olympic sport anymore...
