Olympic starts for Synchro!

Today, it was the technical duet competition. They are swimming on the theme of cold (which was pretty easy to feel because the pool is freezing!) They swam 11th out of 24. In synchro, the draw is really important because it influences the judges for the scores. They had one of their best swims this year. Their elements were really good. My team and I were overwelmed. They got 6th place, Russia is 1st, Spain second, Japan third, China fourth, and Us fifth. The Russian duet was amazing to watch! They are really really close to perfection!

Right after the duet (Marie-Pier Boudreau and Isabelle Rampling) competed, we got into the warm up pool, in the Water Cube, and we did about 2 hours of (training our routine without musique) Then we took a shuttle to another training pool and we did our music practice. It was a pretty good practice, we still have a few things to correct before the 22 and 23 though.

Tomorrow is free duet prelim!
