olympic synchronized swimming - Russia has always dominated the synchronized swimming events and the London Olympics are no different. The female athletes on Friday were awarded the gold for the Olympic team synchronized swimming making it the fourth consecutive sweep in the Olympics by picking up the duet and team gold since the Olympics were in Sydney. Spain won the silver and gave the Russians strong competition, but the Russian score couldn’t be beat.
The Russian program for the synchronized swimmers was dramatic and precise. With an already strong team technical round on Thursday, the Freestyle round Friday was more of an opportunity to showcase jumps, twists and other motions.
The London Olympics routine had extraordinary music with military drum beats for the team to keep in sync with and the athletes made the entire performance look effortless. With the highest scoring routine on Friday, it was a moment when Russia once again claimed the gold.
