I'd get winded just treading water for that long. I seriously do not know how anyone could have this much stamina. Incredible.
You and me both sister!!!!
love
play
joy
to master master time master joy
the body's cells listens to ur words...ur beliefs how u believe in urself in this movie called life, how much faith u have in ur future, this is a dream
Right cause after swimming I need a full nap just to get my life together
Treading? Shoot... im winded just watching 👀them
I can tread water but not be as coordinated and controlled as them. That's another level.
These are very serious competitor's. They need our support now and in the future. This without a doubt is one of the hardest sports a person could ever master. These young women have mastered it. Pass this post on and lets get behind them and this sport. Thank you ladies for representing this country of ours, you all did us proud...
Ssss
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-
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.
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.
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!
Its like combining swimming with gymnastics, dance, and competitive cheerleading. Impressive indeed!
@@greywaren6034 bruh same! I have to wear prescription goggles too Hkh
They are on time with EVERY thing. So ORIGINAL. WAY TO GO LADIES. SO PROUD OF YOU.
Remember, they can't touch the bottom of the pool ever or they'll get a point deducted! That deserves ALL the respect right there! Sincerely, past life guard
What!! Even when they flip her in the air and catch her landing?
@@x-x101 YESSSS
That's the most impressive part for me
Wow, I didn't know that. I think know that you mentioned it. I might have heard it years ago, but I forgot. That makes it more amazing.
I was about to say it seems like they're doing a lot of dancing on their feet.
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.
I bet it's even more difficult than diving
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 👏
@@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?
@@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.
@@kokim4209Some men do do it.😅
That was absolutely sick! I never watched this event. I WILL NOW
GO USA
Team USA got so much better in it. Hope this Olympics they will compete back to back with italy and russia!
Me either n looking at the scores I somehow knew they were disrespectful to that performance
Check out Spain from the last Olympics. It was sick.
@@olgapolygalova5369 They are no way near even fourth place
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!
I once saw a synchronised swimmer training in my local pool. She swam two lengths of the pool underwater without coming up for air! Amazing athleticism.
absolutely.
This looks so unbelievably hard and I’m sure it’s harder than even I think
Yes ❤️
The only limit is the mind.
@@ThePerchance and physical ability...
Honestly with practice and having practice with cadence will come in handy, alot of communication behind the scenes
@@ThePerchance and oxygen
that was one of the greatest dance performances ever, in any sport. That was gold. Judges are blind and deaf!
I'm heartbroken for them. This was phenomenal!
That is the most clever and brilliant performance I've ever seen this sport and I've watched it since I was a kid. That was truly epic
I was mesmerized by the whole routine. Outstanding!
Dang. They’re still winners in my book. That was really enjoyable to watch.
The fact that they have to wear makeup without it running into their eyes, keep their hair from going into their face while going upside down and all over the place, synchronize themselves with the music while splashing all around witch creates muffling of sound especially while under water, and do all this without goggles is amazing
And they can’t touch the floor either
Makeup is waterproof and hair is put into tight bun secured by many many bobby pins then slathered in Knox gelatin which dries like shellac. My daughter was a synchronized swimmer for 8 years. practices were between 14 & 20 hours a week depending on age. Unbelievable stamina conditioning and athleticism. It still amazes me!
@@dorish.712 oh wow cool to know. That gel must be powerful lol even gorilla snot gel isn’t powerful enough for water.
@@dorish.712 oh wait you said gelatin. Like what’s used to make jello and stuff?
For the makeup, it’s all waterproof, for the hair it’s Knox gelatin, for the synchronization it’s counts
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
I thought the other teams were amazing but this is something else truly.
Hi can we chat
Hi Ashley can we chat on whatsapp
Hi
@@akashchoudhary9011 Dude quit being creepy.
@@deercepticon can we talk on whatsapp
.😊
The advances Boston Dynamics has been making are truly impressive!
I never knew Artistic Swimming could be cool but that was pretty dam awesome to watch
Their counting must be incredible. You can barely hear music under water.
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. 😉🙂
@@davidgoldstein1526 i remember when there was a transition to underwater speakers at the high school level. Massive change in routine difficulty.
You hear better under the water.
I will never ever understand how the „easiest“ skills/moves are even possible! I just don’t get it. It seems impossible to me! Such an impressive sport!
Audio cutting out was annoying. I have so much respect for these ladies!! I truly do think this is one of the most difficult olympic sports.
I rewatched that first aerial toss several times at slower speed so I could see what she did in the air. Wow! It was so fast I couldn't even tell what was going on at real speed. Holy crap! Major skills!
This was the highlight of my day. I watched open-mouthed and with tears in my eyes. Girls, thank you so much for all your work and tenacity!
All I can say is WOW, Wonderful Choreography.
THEY TOOK MY BREATHE AWAY SPECTACULAR AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL
They were robbed! That was the absolute coolest, and so sharp! The timing seemed perfect to me.
Yep...subjects to some trying to keep certain teams out of top competition?? Just got to wonder...they deserved to be in the Olympics...
@@user-bw3fl7fj9w I agree this was amazing.
Maybe you can help me. This was an amazing routine. Can you help me understand the scoring process. I'm used to the 10s like gymnastics. Sorry for the ignorance.
@@avishagisrael6386 maybe you can see the scoreboard at the end. This video is a free routine. There's 3 main scoring.
For difficulty (technical aspect, highness of your eggbitter position, leg position). Art impression is for the artistic aspect (choreography, expression). And execution is how well you put those together in the routine, n how synchronized the move. Its kinda tricky n complicated.
This goes as well as the technical routine. But for tech. R, there's couple of Requirements of movements that you have to achieve.
For artistic swimming, the perfect score is 100. I remember that the highest score in whole olympics is around 98-99(?)
I'm a former artistic swimming, sorry if its too long. I try to explain each scoring
It's so unfortunate, this routine was incredible! They missed out by something insane like 0.1. This routine was by far one of the best of the day, but they just are not as strong as other countries in their technical routine
This will always and forever be the best thing I’ve ever watched. A complete misjudge. I’ve never seen a better routine.
Never seen? ?? Have you ever seen any?? Even worst Olympic routine is better than this one
@@Lana-z8uhonestly this is the most fun kne ive watxhked
Think about this: they aren't wearing goggles! Now try to synchronize yourself with other swimmers underwater when you can barely see what you're doing?! 🤯
I used to do synchro: Competition days are days you just open your eyes underwater because you *have to*
@@johannasildam3835 yep! super not fun lol
I think some of them wear contacts with a very low prescription too so it’s not as painful to open their eyes underwater. Thought I read that somewhere?
@@jodinewhauser9966 interesting!!
@@jodinewhauser9966 Nah, I don't know any kind of contacts besides maybe scleras (the really large ones, but they're not approved for use all around the world) that would stay in underwater... Maybe the hard ones, not the flexible ones? I'm not sure.
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.
8 Mermaids. That was beautiful. Great performance ladies.
Wow 😳 Synchronised swimming has come a long way since the last time I watched it. Incredible skill & fitness!
I watched without sound and that was SO impressive!! (I rewatched it with normal volume, too.) They were fantastic!!!
I absolutely enjoy Andrea Fuentes and Anna Voloshyna celebrating each well-executed acrobacy.
This has to be one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen
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!!
How do they hold their breath while they do this??? I’m panicking
It’s the years of breath training they have to do
They actually have prosthetic gills put in. Incredible new technology.
@@jeremysmith9694 😂
@@jeremysmith9694 😅🤣😂
They’re extremely in shape.
There is no way that should not have won. It was freaking incredible!!! LITTERALLY!!!!
This did NOT WIN?! 😱
Which team did?
@@jyll Obviously, the better teams did
@@arineems6059 yeah, Italy played after I watched this haha so I understand now
@@jyll not a fan of this sport, but if you look at the difficulty score of USA 26.3 vs Italy 28 then no prize for guessing why Italy won over USA
.....what? LiTerally, What? Are you rooting for them or not?
Do you litter with friends or something?
WAIT ARE THEY NOT QUALIFIED?! The gold medal at Tokyo is reserved for this team in my book! Absolutely phenomenal!!!
Wait till you see the Russian team 😂. My mouth was literally wide open when I watched Russia's artistic swimming team perform
@@arrietty1619 I know righttt the Russians are always out of this world with their routine and skills but I feel like the US can be a serious contender for the medal with this robot routine. Simply amazing!
@@arrietty1619 I just did. They were no better. It was all legs
@@brittanytatman6318 Their routines are harder. Try staying upside down for that long
@@arrietty1619 I have. I used to do gymnastics and did swimming in college. But my point remains. This team had many more tricks and flips involved
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.
Super underrated athletes. Incredible performance!!
It's always amazes me the things humans can do. Like how do you even swim like that and hold your breath at the same time for such a long period of time?! It's mind-boggling.
The stamina it takes to do this is amazing
Having never ever watched an Olympic event this is pure unadulterated joy and talent
This might have been the best routine I've ever seen
this is one of the weirdest sports I've ever seen, how does anyone figure out that they want to get into this sport? it's such an interesting concept, it's almost like water cheerleading but with more of an artistic basis. so cool
also how do they synchronise with the music?? they can't even hear it 90% of the time, are they constantly doing counts in their head?
hello!! i am a synchronized swimmer and can answer your questions. like a lot of dance sports, its expected that you start at a really young age to get "good" or have any chance of competing professionally (not that i have ever or will ever compete professionally lol). i liked to swim and dance, so my mom recommended it to me and signed me up for classes when i was about 8. i liked it so i kept going. also, they can hear the music underwater! there are speakers down there. they stay synchronized based on counts of 8 rather than the music though. theyre expected to keep swimming even if the music cuts out.
I was a competitive swimmer and had 8 years of classical ballet; synchronized swimming seemed the natural next sport! You can hear the music underwater. The training was difficult but I loved it!
@@lillianb1516 Very interesting, I also wondered everything that KJ Ujhazy was wondering, thanks!
Competitive swimmer and did ballet for years. My high school had it as a sport and I had a lot of fun. I was the only competitive swimmer on that team. Most were gymnasts. Underwater speakers!
@@lillianb1516 You must be incredibly fit, strong & agile. That’s a tough sport indeed with water resistance & treading water constantly to add to all the moves.
Astonishing! That must have taken a million hours of training.
so complex and original, and the timing was so good even with tempo changes...just amazing
When I learned this was an Olympic sport I was like ha! Whatever. But, after watching this routine they have my apologies and all my respect! It was amazing and must be incredibly difficult. I hope to see them/this sport continue to rep USA!
This is extremely hard - and such a long routine - they did amazing . 😊💕
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
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.
If you think this is impressive, you should see the Russian and Chinese team.
Me too. This has definitely progressed in leaps & bounds (literally) since the last time I watched synchronised swimming. So much more acrobatic & active. Amazing!
I watched this on tv.. this was the best performance of the day.. they were fantastic and they got screwed on the marks.. Not an American.. they were simply fantastic
They deserved a much higher score. Magnificent work ladies!!
How good were the other routines if this failed out
What happened? The US used to be a powerhouse in synchro (artistic swimming). It wasn't a perfect routine, but they threw someone OUT OF THE WATER..... And then CAUGHT THEM!! How does this score so low??
Agree! There is no art in this! They are good at what they do but it is not beautiful or artistic. Just a nice bunch of tricks. I prefer “ your grandmother’s synchronized swimming.”
@@janeflip1 Don't think that's what that person was saying. They caught someone after they tossed her in the air and they still scored low. This IS art, watch the older Olympics if you want your grandma's synchronized swimming.
Really? I didn't know. Which one would you say was their best team? I would like to see more
@@sandrajyg1999 I've always liked the free routine combination from 2006..IMO, but I'm sure there are more.
@@corrienotcorey It seems that because people try to cram in as much as possible during the time limits, there is no more room for slow movements. I prefer the greater artistic expression allowed when slow movements are included, and not just required figures in technical routines.
I never heard of this sport and I don’t know what the other routines looked like but that was absolutely amazing!!!!!
DC Synchro has been following your journey! We love to see the creativity of the routine and all the hard work that went into perfecting this lift. Have loved seeing the routine improve each time we see it performed.
The power and balance of these swimmers is just incredible. The routine reflects the music perfectly. Such an amazing performance - and those lifts 😱
That was beyond spectacular! WOW!!! I loved their theme! The music and the costumes were spot on. That routine was something I’ve never seen before. Their dedication and hard work totally paid off.
Man usa is on mission to bring all the gold in every event. USA is absolutely stacked these Olympics
So glad this showed up in my feed! This was wonderful! Awesome routine!🤩
That is genuinely one of the most amazing things I have ever seen
They deserved the gold. Every other routine was incredibly dull in comparison.
Their team routine was fantastic but they faltered in their tech routine. The scores are combined free and tech, so bc of that fumble in tech it just wasn't in the cards :(
@@srishtipatel561 I’ve never been exposed to synchronize swim, if you don’t mind explaining but I’m curious as to what you mean/what techniques they look for. I know timing and synchronization is definitely huge but what else is there?
@@forevarever generally there's three panels: difficulty, artistic impression, and execution. Height in the water and lifts add to difficulty, as well as distance traveled. Artistic impression can include creative choreography, facial expressions, makeup + hair, etc. Lastly, execution is just how well the techniques (jumps, lifts, hybrids etc.) are performed. Hope that helps!
@@forevarever I might have misunderstood- there are two events. Tech team and free team are two different routines. The final scores are the total score of the two routines. USA did great in free, but they fumbled in tech team. Free team has more creative freedom, but tech has required elements and is more restrictive in what you can do.
@@srishtipatel561 ohhhhh that makes so much more sense! I interpreted it as each team are judged based on tech + free which then the outcome will be their final score kind of like figure skating and other sports haha. Thank you so much!
Everything that they did, I don't see how any of that is humanly possible! Mad love and props to them. They should have gotten the gold.
Way better than Greece! This was absolutely amazing to watch.
No, Greek's overall elements are much better than USA, and Greek is higher in the Technical routine which help them to get the spot.
@@spandau4065 Maybe, but I personally found their performance boring compared to this one.
@@tnsloek it’s not just about the choreography but the height and other technical stuff (+difficulty) count more
@@oxi6805 the point is that, to the lay person, no one cares about any of those aspects, they just care about which routine is "cooler", and this one was cooler.
@@spandau4065 i'm a goose, and i can make better patterns than greece did. embarrassing for greece.
4th place with this incredible performance. Can't imagine the performance of 1st place.
Yeah, wasn’t as good as theirs. They were cheated out of qualifying for Olympics.
italy, you can look their FINA routine up. and then ROC won at olympics
It sucked compared to this.
This routine deserved at least 90
Clearly you know nothing about synchronized swimming, this routine was just a hot mess, nowhere near a 90 level.
definitely
@@spandau4065 :/
90!? You clearly don't do synchro or haven't done it long
@@spandau4065 i wouldnt go as far to say hot mess but i agree not 90 level
I have always been fascinated by this… I can not fathom the stamina, strength, ability, that it takes to do synchronized swimming. I mean Synchronized!! So much Respect for these ladies!
The fact that they don’t even touch the bottom of the pool 👏🏽
Hi can we chat
Yes ... It's great...
they're honestly really underrated, this sport is deceptively physically demanding, you can barely hear anything underwater, so you basically have to count by yourself when to lift your legs up, turn around etc., crazy stuff
There are underwater speakers, but still this sport is EXTREMELY underrated
That was actually incredible
This routine is so entertaining. I love it!
This ain't your grandmama's synchronize swimming! That was LIT!
Hi can we chat
@@akashchoudhary9011 🤦😠
@@soccergoalie865 hello can we chat on whatsapp
WOW...that was so beautiful and so entertaining. It blows my mind when they throw someone in the air knowing no one is touching the bottom, especially the height they threw them on the first trick.
Absolutely fantastic!!! What skill stamina talent and creativity. Gold in my book !
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t know this was an event and I am BLOWN AWAY!!! 😭 this was an incredible performance and truly magical! Breath taking! 💙
When they introduced the team in the beginning, they had the wrong flag.
Hungarian flag❤
I've never seen something so cool
What an original routine! And I absolutely love the costumes. They did an amazing job! 🙌🙌🙌
Woooooow!!!...never seen anything like it...AMAZING!!!
So so sooo proud of this team!!!
That’s incredible! I can only imagine the amount of work, dedication, and heart that goes into a routine like this!
Absolutely mesmerizing!!!🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸
What more could they possibly have done to qualify. It was perfect. The judges are biased.
I think so too.
It wasnt hard enough thats why
Lol. It's always a conspiracy for some people.
Not biased at all.. check out the 2016 rio olympics artistic swimming replay.. its magnificient. This competition is cut throat..
@@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.
So impressive!! Incredible skills and lots of creativity in creating the choreography! They are incredibly fast, incredibly strong and whoever created the coreo really knew how to showcase their skills and use synchrony to make the moves even more powerful!
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.
The boosts were incredible.
This was beyond phenomenal!!! I have never seen anything like it. You ladies are truly rockstars!!! Congratulations 👏 👏 👏 👏
never seen? Kidding
This is so dope I've never seen nothing like it before wow this is definitely a sport
Most demanding, difficult sport I’ve ever watch.....cheers to u alll.....Gold!
3:20 when the crowd said "YES" with them
Wow, this was really cool to see. Good job ladies.
I thought everything was perfect. The timing was precise, the movements were 100% synchronized. It wasn't a frilly performance, it was techno and original. I think they should go to Tokyo.
So agree! They were cheated!!
This a very difficult and also a high risk routine. Excellent performance!!
And beside that crazy acrobatic level they always have to keep smiling or their facial expressions perfect in the music
Anyone else feel kind of like you’re drowning watching them?! The breathe control is insane!
I can't breathe watching this. So amazing. I always scared of water.
I am so sad for them! They did SOo amazing I couldn’t even finish Italy in gold because I got so bored, with them I couldn’t stop watching. Keep it up ladies you did so well
All I could say is howwww
Leaving me speechless
