They were each competing in solo, and paired Linda/Gerri, Aurore/Chris for the duets. We have some medalists here! Chris and Aurore's free duet to the "Palladio" suite was well received. (The song is the one from the De Beers ads, a great choice, really.)
And Chris nailed the gold in her solo. Congratulations on that awesome showing!
The synchronized swimming was just a small part of this big event. I was told there were around 250 synchro ladies. (At the international level, men cannot participate in synchro currently. In the US, they can swim!) The whole championships, which included speed swim, open water, water polo, and diving, was supposedly close to 15000 swimmers strong. The facility was huge, and that beach you saw in yesterday's photos had some of the open water swimming go past it! Tomorrow I will put up some photos of the facility, too.
