wait...they can't touch the bottom of the pool? so they have to float the entire time wow! so much more respect
-
oxygen has left the chat
-
I dont even care who wins tbh. just the fact that they have to perform a 4 minute acrobatic/dance routine without touching the bottom of the pool is a gold medal in itself!
-
When I met the USA Women's team, I asked them " What does it feel like when you are upside down under the water moving around"? They said " For people who want to know what the closest feeling to upside down underwater Arobatics, it is like trying to hold your breathe while running".

I’m sorry but the commentators are very rude to these amazing, hardworking athletes. It’s just not their place.
-
This sport is soo underrated

Fun fact: they can also hear the music underwater but the speakers underwater are specifically designed to reverberate sound in the water. Outside of water, the music sounds warbled but underwater, it’s crystal clear and you can hear the music perfectly I swam competitively on a club team that shared the Olympic sized pool with a club synchronized swimming team….so the pool had those underwater speakers. My coach used to play music that we could listen to during swim practice. It was awesome

The lady was Such a hater on Egypt
-
I think there should be a split screen for above and underwater running simultaneously because the underwater visuals are amazing.
-
Being Brazilian, watching all the cultural references really hit home. I loved all of the performances but Brazil and Russia's were my favorite. I wanted to hit that announcer when she was commenting on Egypt's performance. They did so well .
-
Absolute respect to these athletes. Holding your breath that long, dance , smile , do flips under the water is phenomenal. The synchronization is simply incredible.
-
Did the loud commentator just say " watch the girl on the right, she always cries.." At 1:03:58? That's just plain rude and unnecessary 🙄

Such a shame, this sport does not receive the recognition it deserves here in the UK.

“Personally I don’t like that I just want to see them walk out and start” No one cares
-
I can’t help but think about some of these girls being on their periods. This is just crazy and I give them lots of respect for everything involving this event and their hard work!

That performance from Russia is astounding 😳
