As a competitive swimmer, I feel a sense of connection with other water sports and this sport is so impressive! I seriously don’t know how they do what they do! It’s like ballerinas that learnt to do tumbling and stumbled into a hip hop class but it’s all underwater like-

[@DR-rs6ou]

So I played high tier division 1 water polo in college, and our school also had one of the best synchro teams in the country as well. We trained in the same pool as them and let me be the first to tell you, those women made us all feel like we couldnt tread water to save our lives. They are amazing athletes.

[@evilqueen09]

I used to also do competitive swimming and man these women train just as hard and also have to learn choreography while doing it and all without goggles, incredible.

[@greywaren6034]

Same! And I just realized that can’t even wear goggles! Not only can my eyes not stand chlorine, my eyesight is so bad I need prescription goggles during practice. I can’t imagine racing without goggles!

[@adhfan75]

Its like combining swimming with gymnastics, dance, and competitive cheerleading. Impressive indeed!

[@elizabethbarry1865]

[@beatrixpoley9100]

Their counting must be incredible. You can barely hear music under water.

[@davidgoldstein1526]

Actually, sound travels better underwater. There are speakers in the pool, otherwise, you'd be correct. They wouldn't hear any sound from outside the pool. 😉🙂

[@cguy96]

@@davidgoldstein1526 i remember when there was a transition to underwater speakers at the high school level. Massive change in routine difficulty.

Check out Spain from the last Olympics. It was sick.

[@bennuballbags2]

@@olgapolygalova5369 They are no way near even fourth place

[@LaurenOrion]

Fun fact! They aren’t allowed to touch the bottom of the pool so all the lifts are just pure leg strength by pushing themselves up through swimming!

[@caodmei]

I always wondering why the artistic swimming never got much attention as other sports in Olympics. This sport is extremely difficult and at the same time they are very enjoyable and beautiful.

[@theAdamAronggear]

I bet it's even more difficult than diving

[@kokim4209]

I bet you if men did it, it'd probably get more attention. It's absolutely incredible and difficult, and these athletes are certainly the fittest on earth with the most incredible lungs 👏

[@nick_h143]

@@theAdamAronggear personally I don't think you should compare the two, the only similarity is the fact they're both in water, can we just appreciate the difficulty and beauty of sports without putting other ones down?

[@andrewrlitster9966]

@@nick_h143 true , that as at the world championships now the water polo is on too and you have to be super fit , fast and strong to play at the elite level. How is that I know because I was part of the coaching team that Won Gold in Sydney 2000, the Australian women.

[@Chuckles2109]

​@@kokim4209Some men do do it.😅

[@kissmisskittie]

Team USA, this was such a beautiful surprise, the theme and the performance was bold and original. Like WOW, stunning! Much love, all the way from California

[@ghedneildagalea6958]

First time I've watched this and I'm just amazed. This is one of the most if not the most difficult sports ever. They deserve more $ than any other athlete imo.

[@ryancox5097]

My God... Imagine the hours and hours and hours and hours and weeks and months that must go in to developing a routine like this. These ladies have obviously devoted their lives to being the very best at this activity.

[@deboral6989]

This is not your grandmother's synchronized swimming oh, I did not even recognize the fact that it had progressed to this point they are magnificent

[@jasminejohnson7990]

Same here. I was just thinking this. I was not expecting this in the slightest. The last time I saw synchronized swimming I was just a kid and it was definitely not like what I just watched (still brilliant nonetheless) I am still in shock with how far the sport has come.

[@JT-gm4fk]

If you think this is impressive, you should see the Russian and Chinese team.

[@allisonjames2923]

Me too. This has definitely progressed in leaps & bounds (literally) since the last time I watched synchronised swimming. So much more acrobatic & active. Amazing!

[@Baedabrat]

They smashed that. The routine was so complicated and one of the best ones I’ve watched. Im sad and angry the scores doesn’t reflect the routine.

[@tobyjohnmedicinehorse8784]

The stamina it takes to do this is amazing

[@daniellanders6108]

All I can say is WOW, Wonderful Choreography.

[@PinkGomo]

I can’t believe something so spunky and unique could make me tear up. The incredible discipline, synchronicity, and energy these ladies gave is inspiring. I’m wishing them the best! They deserve all of the credit. Absolutely amazing!!! They just gained a new fan. I’ll be watching for them!!

[@uaher6841]

Super underrated athletes. Incredible performance!!

[@emilyconway9269]

Anyone else feel kind of like you’re drowning watching them?! The breathe control is insane!

[@NaOlaproductions]

My brain will never comprehend how in the world they do this! 🤯🤯🤯

[@lovefrenchbrittany5236]

What more could they possibly have done to qualify. It was perfect. The judges are biased.

[@lfgarza]

I think so too.

[@river6208]

It wasnt hard enough thats why

[@dougdavis8986]

Lol. It's always a conspiracy for some people.

[@haominlunlhouvum5174]

Not biased at all.. check out the 2016 rio olympics artistic swimming replay.. its magnificient. This competition is cut throat..

[@TRUTHseeker-101]

@@river6208 I am sorry, but you don’t know what you are talking about. I didn’t see anyone else doing the high splits, double backflips (like a train) one after another, and lifts where the girl jumps like a gymnast on a balance beam and sticks the landing, as well as lifts at the very end and all done with amazing precision. This was a very difficult and demanding routine. Nope! This was stolen from them and I am disgusted that lesser teams like China and Russia (who cheat, btw) got in. I am a judge for synchronized swim and I know what I am talking about. That performance deserved a score close to perfection. Listen to the announcer, even she sees nothing wrong with that routine.

[@yvettey8929]

This routine is so entertaining. I love it!

[@angiela3439]

Woooooow!!!...never seen anything like it...AMAZING!!!

[@maseja26]

Wow, incredibly amazing. It’s insane how perfectly synchronized they were. Those leg movements were so on point. How the heck can those legs be so straight and synchronized if they can’t touch the bottom of the pool???

[@lisaglancy2861]

The first thing you learn in synchronized swimming is how to do the egg beater with your legs. It keeps you from sinking and you could do it for a long time in one place.

[@eizyaws]

Those judges ought to be ashamed of themselves. Best thing I've seen in 3 years! 🏅 🏆
