Synchronized swimmers are amazing athletes. I’m so fascinated by their ability to hold their breath underwater upside down and still able to perform their routines.
Let me get this straight; they have to hold their breath, smile, count in their heads because they literally can’t hear the music, be aware of where everyone is AND control their breathing? THIS IS PHENOMENAL!
And ofcourse.... swim. Swimming alone is already hard, and dancing as well. What more if you danced and pranced around the water while trying to stay on beat😂
I'm an actual swimmer, and I have mad respect for synchronized swimmers/dancers. We can easily hold our breath longer than most of the synchronized swimmers (that we see at our pools, probably not these ladies) and probably can swim faster/longer, but we would never be able to do anything like this. It's a lot harder than you think to lift someone up out of the water while swimming. Also, they are really flexible. We were comparing our swim group with a synchronized swimming group one time, and though we could barely touch our toes, they easily have the flexibility of gymnast. Plus, they have to do everything in sync. I can't even imagine how bad we would be at that. So much hard work and dedication goes to this sport, and I respect anyone that goes in it.
Synchronised swimming tournaments not only consist on the choreography, you need to have certain gymnastics, resistance and swimming skills. They test you on sooo many things, including how fast you can swimm
Next time you go to a pool, start treading and see how high out of the water you can get your torso. Then you start getting a picture of how hard it is.
Even they didn't win the competition, they got all of my attention for the show. Music, costume, coreography and their expression are so united. Love the crab and the dolphin sections. So autentic!
Finally, a version without commentary! Even if Spain doesn't have as many high speed, high difficulty, high precision moves, their artistry more than makes up for it. Definitely one of my favourites of 2012.
If these girls executed this routine so exquisitely I can't imagine just how extraordinary their choreographer is. Kudos to everyone behind the scenes. They are often overlooked but I'm pretty sure it took a village to put this magnificent production together js
HOLY cow! That is INSANE! 10-12 hours a day of training - swimming - like that? Even a work day is only 7 hours on average. Imagine if one of these swimmers broke her leg and couldn’t swim anymore. What would you do with your life after that? After literally living every day just swimming.
@@Rainswife_ thank you for ur reply , I guess a career as a synchronized swimmer is out for me LOL, but it's still a beautiful thing to watch , I have so much admiration and respect for athletes
This was terrific! I don’t know why they didn’t get a medal. I watched Russia’s team and it was pretty boring. I think the Spanish Team has always been strong in this field
All I could think of while watching is "humans are so silly." Don't get me wrong, this obviously takes years of practice and skill. But the concept of competing for the best water dance is such a random thing for humans to decide to do.
So is lining up to see who can run the fastest. But that's is what makes us human though, the possibility to do more than just cover your basic survival needs, anything you can imagine, do, make, achieve.
Just think how much physical effort it takes for all of these women to have their torsos upside-down underwater, while having their legs the same level over the water. Then they have to be able to lift each other and toss them out of the water. They all must be strong as F. Like bruh, imagine being a 250 lb weight lifter... Any one of these women could give you a beat down, and you wouldn't even understand how it physically happened. And they'd get away with it, because the police wouldn't believe you. 😆
I can’t even understand how they do what they do. Like I can’t wrap my head around the physics of it. Obviously it’s possible. Imagine how much calories those women go through on a daily basis.
I always get so emotional when watching that kinda stuff because you can feel all the dedication and passion that went into this. If perfection exists, that must be it.
I was on a synchronized swimming team for only 2 years in middle school. It was the best thing I ever accomplished physically. My whole body was so strong and healthy.
Not only the holding your breath part, but the underwater shots of them staying perfectly straight while UPSIDE-DOWN???? *THAT* is really the part that blows my mind more than anything!!! 🤯😲👏
I do. Well, at the gym pool. And dang it's intimidating. Nothing is more threatening than a team of synchronized swimmers progressovely inching towards you with stiff, toothy smiles, shifting left and right and spinning around in perfect sync.
The astonishing thing is how physically strong these girls are...plus having to control your breathing, athletic dexterity and endurance ...an astounding effort and feat.
Being Bhumika omg I watched the handmade slipper making video too and I loved it! If it hasn’t recommended bondi rescue you’ll have to check it out. One of my recommendations that I’m now hooked on lol
Wow their lipstick still stayed on and they managed to have a smile on their face everytime they came up from the water. This was a beautiful performance ✨
I have never seen anything like this before. Synchronized swimming came a long way! Absolutely beautiful to watch! I couldn't believe they were in deep water and throwing eachother up in the air....very impressive!!❤
This is one of the most original and creative choreographies I've ever seen! Sooo true to the theme from the beginning to the end, and full of surprises and unique moves!!! I am in awe of the mind who created this fantastical routine as well as the amazing talent performing it! This is truly incredibly inspiring! Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The only way to receive true happiness is to be born again. Jesus loves you and is coming back to earth soon. This year is giving signs of end times. You need to repent. Please believe and spread the word to your friends, family etc so they can be saved. I'm doing this because I care about where your gonna end up on judgement day Jesus loves you
Haven’t watched one of these in yearssssss!! I just knew I’d be a synchronized swimmer when I was a little girl lol watching this took me back! TALENT ON TALENT ON TALENT!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
One support from Spain was thwarted. The Russians had a higher difficulty, as well as a stronger execution, high lifts, inimitable synchronicity. For a human eye, Spain may be better, but from the point of view of a Professional, Russian women were the best!!!!
@@htcharedtimothychannel Russia won the gold, China silver and Spain won the bronze medal. Russia is always perfect in their performance but in 2012 Olympics they had a pretty boring routine imo. This routine is one of my alltime favourites! Technically it is not perfect, little mistakes at some points. But artistically very pleasing, original and well done!

Synchronized swimmers are amazing athletes. I’m so fascinated by their ability to hold their breath underwater upside down and still able to perform their routines.
I was thinking something similar about their ability to hold their breathe AND perform at the same time while upside down 🤯
@@jayem7208 also the fact that all their moves are in time with the music even though they can't hear it most of the time
Lots and lots of practice and training
@@angelikaklaer6198 they use speakers that can be used underwater! I swam for 6 years, and being able to hear the music is very important!
Plus they use tiny nose plugs
There’s something so... unnerving and alien about synchronized swimming.
It does seem a little unnatural (but I won't deny that it takes talent).
probably because I can't even do regular swimming
I thought im the only one who thinks about this... they r aliens OR maybe mutants😂😂😂 these people are so talented
It's because humans aren't supposed to move that _well_ in water.
@silent night Just swim? That's like saying to a professional dancer "just walk" lmao
Let me get this straight; they have to hold their breath, smile, count in their heads because they literally can’t hear the music, be aware of where everyone is AND control their breathing? THIS IS PHENOMENAL!
All of this except the music part, there is an underwater speaker they can hear. Keeping time to the music is crucial to the routine.
@@chrisd530 thank you. I was wondering about that. The whole thing seems hard enough without being able to hear the music.
And somehow keep afloat underwater at just the right height 🤯
My mind is blown!!
And ofcourse.... swim. Swimming alone is already hard, and dancing as well. What more if you danced and pranced around the water while trying to stay on beat😂
I'm just impressed that they did all this coolness without having to touch the bottom of the pool
My thoughts EXACTLYYYY
BERY strong swimmers, that’s how
Uhh yeah. That's the whole point lol
More like spookiness
And with the smile😁 I would get lost how to do what exactly, and they did everything perfect with all this smiling all the time.

Bro, we can’t even do a single lap with a couple of people in the lane without bumping our heads/hitting each other. LOL
I felt this on a nother level because im also a swimmer lol

this is so backhanded

As a simple quarantine RUclips wanderer who knows nothing about the Olympics: this was cool

Hahaha same.
Same with a touch of I wish I could try that then realize I'm out of shape and cant hold my breath long enough.
@@snowangel92100 I was thinking the exact same thing.
Right
@Rei Ly is snycro dance swimming and is really hard to do that even me i cant 🤣🤣

Next time you go to a pool, start treading and see how high out of the water you can get your torso. Then you start getting a picture of how hard it is.
Same
Just know that it is 1000000 times harder than it looks
Rightttt? Lol
3:38 was insane, she still managed to make her legs looks like a mermaid tail. 💙
That was INCREDIBLE!!! I can’t imagine the amount of strength and coordination it takes to achieve that routine. I’d be out of breath.
And sinking to the bottom upside down LOL

@@catmugparable9446 They came 3rd place. When I saw the description, I was like, "what?? They only got a bronze medal??" 😅😂
@@catmugparable9446 I think Russia won.
They didn’t win?! How?!
I don't care. For me this is the hardest sport! Aside from being athletic and artistic, you're deprived of a basic human need: oxygen!!!
Eh its controversial
Agreed.i don't understand how humans can achieve this 🤔
Water is basically oxygen with two hydrogen atoms. I mean...
@@loisleoniel1630 are you actually serious..?
@@loisleoniel1630 Tell that to the people who drowned.
I have to tell, RUclips's recommendations get weirder and weirder every day. But this one is something out of this world. Cant complain.
The amount of stamina this takes is astounding. The camera shots were amazing. Fantastic performance 👏
This is by far my most favorite routine and costume. AMAZING.
Finally, a version without commentary!
Even if Spain doesn't have as many high speed, high difficulty, high precision moves, their artistry more than makes up for it. Definitely one of my favourites of 2012.
Awesome!!!
Spain is the best in artistic whithout dude. In thecnic is better Russia. Russia and Spain are the best, the rest is so far than them.
Intense enough to call it a sport, beautiful enough to call it a performance.

Welcome to another episode of "Where quarantine has lead me today"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 innih
Yes ❤️
This is just hard work and passion. Most of them were new so they had to train 10-12 hours a day.
Well said, they work incredibly hard to be THIS good!
HOLY cow! That is INSANE! 10-12 hours a day of training - swimming - like that? Even a work day is only 7 hours on average.

SeaWorld should use performers like this instead of dolphins and orcas
Yassss
I think they are gonna charge high for that
Thats a great idea actually!
Then they’d have to pay the performers XD
Sea animals = free labor
One of the most incredible and glamorous specticles im ever likley to see.
That was freaking awesome ! Lots of respect from JAPAN ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I feel tired only by watching. Can't imagine how hard it must be for them
That was amazing
I completely relate🤦🤷
Me too... taking a nap
As an ex synchronized swimmer i can confirm that this is one of the hardest sports

Me: gets a foot cramp watching this
Same to me plus, I lost my breath!!
Ooh the foot cramps are no joke!
Time for some potassium!
Actually one does get a lot of foot cramps doing synchronised swimming, at least from my experience 😅
I’ve been watching a lot of artistic swimming this week… this hands down was absolutely stunning !! It 2021 … just stunning!!
Synchronized swimming is horribly underrated. It is basically ALL the other sports put together, while smiling.❤️
How majestic this performance is, look how they can still smile and so professional,and sychronize💞
Majestic, not magistic.
@@PlugInKali Thank you!❣️
The pain and muscle ache only makes you smile harder
This was terrific! I don’t know why they didn’t get a medal. I watched Russia’s team and it was pretty boring. I think the Spanish Team has always been strong in this field
They got the bronze medal here 😉
It's so synchronised even the ripples in the water are satisfying.
And so am I!
Spain has won several medals in this sport in the recent years!
All I could think of while watching is "humans are so silly."
Don't get me wrong, this obviously takes years of practice and skill. But the concept of competing for the best water dance is such a random thing for humans to decide to do.

Those darn artists... lol 😅❤
It's an art.
So is lining up to see who can run the fastest. But that's is what makes us human though, the possibility to do more than just cover your basic survival needs, anything you can imagine, do, make, achieve.

Im exhausted just watching..smh

I can’t even understand how they do what they do. Like I can’t wrap my head around the physics of it. Obviously it’s possible. Imagine how much calories those women go through on a daily basis.
They're not women
I've been doing swimming synch for ten years.
I do not regret this choice, I cannot even think about actually stopping one day.
I just love this 🥰
WOW, If I saw that in the middle of the ocean, I would think that those were some mystical creatureas like mermaids. Stunning!
You can see the dedication they put into this! Absolutely phenomenal!! I'm not a synchronized swimmer but even to me that look closed to perfection!
Perfect!

Hilarious
The lifeguard at our training sessions is so used to us lot being underwater for crazy amounts of time he didn't even notice when someone passed out.
Someone said they train 10-12 hrs a day, that’s insane! So much talent and hard work, I thought swimming laps was hard 😩
Its really hard. Their trainer was sued for abuse bc how hard she was at them.

Meanwhile me as a 7 year old: look at me do a handstand underwater!
Everyone starts somewhere!
Well i can barely swim at 18 so 😭
