The free routine final of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games was highlighted by a near perfect routine by the Russian synchronized swimming team of Natalia Ishchenko and Svetlana Romashina, 2012 Olympic defending champions.
The Russian pair posted a final score of 194.9910, while the silver medals were picked up by the Chinese duo of Huang Xuechen and Sun Wenyan with a score of 192.3688. Bronze was won by Japan’s Yukiko Inui and Risako Mitsui with a score of 188.0547.
Talking to the media afterwards, Romashina commented that “sometimes everyone calls us mermaids and asks us if we have gills, so we are really comfortable in this performance.”
Ishchenko and Romashina’s gold medal performance further solidified the country’s dominance over the sport of synchronized swimming bringing home the country’s fifth straight gold medal and the duo’s second straight gold.
