Take these performances and hang them in the Louvre! These breathtaking Artistic Swimming performances truly belong in Paris - a city known for its art. In the water, they move like they were born in it, as if they’ve never touched solid ground. They deserve all their flowers, and we can’t wait to see them shine on the grand stage at the Los Angeles 2028 Games. Take a moment, sit back, and let us show you why we hold them in such high regard. 💫🏊🏻♀️
We now go to Ukraine and this is the first of our twins this is Marina Alekseeva and Vladislav
Alekseeva. Unsurprising they're both 23 years of age and their degree of difficulty is 54.3,
fifth after the technical. This first length is amazing. The theme is up down. Life is a
series of ups and downs. Very varied from a podium position so we'll wait to see the scores.
The music in particular at the beginning of the routine was very rhythmic. I could hear the
beating in it and there have been some issues with pools and pools being heated. Yeah. Eight four. We
have a new leader of the duet. I think they're taking it in at the moment as a multiple birth
parent. I should get that right. This is Austria. This is Anna Maria Alexandri and Irina Marina.
It's 54.05. Everybody in Austria will be holding their breath along with these athletes.
Could they make history and get a podium?
Very very good routine. This is going to be very interesting
with the rankings when we see this go through. It was a brilliant performance wasn't it? It
sometimes on the teams the acrobatic moves can cause a few sort of niggles in the back as well
but any sport you've got to coach as they came up to the kiss and cry area.
And it's a great score 288.4145. Now is the Netherlands. These are the de Brouwer twins.
This is Brekkie and Nortie. They're lying a third after the technical routine.
0.7 ahead of Great Britain. Speed of rotations.
They will have seen the score for Great Britain.
They will give this absolutely everything. Very experienced duet.
Exquisite on the timing. Executing these hybrids so so well.
That was phenomenal. They're the world silver medalists and that really shone through didn't it?
It was like watching a mirror. They have moved into second place.
They were very good in the technical routine. Please welcome Great Britain. This is Kate Shortman
and they were fourth after the technical routine. This is the rising phoenix reborn from the fire
routine. Good metaphor they say for the rebirth of artistic swimming with the new rules.
So important to have solid execution on these elements. What a lovely performance from Great
Britain. As Andrea Holland said only 0.7 away. You can come in as a volunteer. You can come in
as a master swimmer. It takes all sorts to bring a community together for artistic swimming. Two
teams to go. What a moment for Kate Shortman and Isabel Thorpe. What a moment for Great Britain.
Artistic swimming after so so many years.
