Grace Rose lol

H2O has entered the chat

Lol indeed!

*Respect has entered the chat*

😂😂😂

Impressive isn't it?

Sometimes they have to hold their breath for many minutes as well.

If more people knew that the swimmers can never touch the bottom of the pool, they would respect the sport more, especially when they toss their team members up in the air and spring out of the water upside down! It is amazing, the strength involved!

Swimmers and water polo players also cannot touch the bottom

You don’t float u scull rly hard it hurts

Деточка,у нас юнешская сборная делает НАМНОГО ЛУЧШЕ египетской сборной. ОНИ ГОТОВЫ НА ОЛИМПИАДУ. РУССКИМ В СИНХРОННОМ ПЛАВАНИИ НЕТ РАВНЫХ🤘😇

I know right!

Important to remember a lot of these commentators tend to be eccentrics and enthusiasts, so they might say things that are odd or unusual from time to time. Only becuase they are very passionate fans the sport with many different critiques that come with experience.

Because there were mistakes. It will be impossible for us normal folks to know them just by looking at the event once or twice. But she was also saying to the audience that everything that they were doing is very difficult.

I think she’s jealous because they had the best figures and outfits 🤭

Dancing is not a sport even if it does take physical effort. This is not impressive in the context of the Olympics. Winning a gold medal in dancing makes a nonsense of the entire institution of the Olympics.

@@EC2019 its artistic swimming. It is impressive and it’s more than just “dancing”. I challange you to “dance” under water for 4 minutes and you’ll quickly realize how much skill it actually requires. If you don’t like it, do not watch it.

@@EC2019 its literally gymnastics and swimming mixed together. are neither of those sports?

@@EC2019 The literal definition of a sport is an activity which requires physical exertion and skill. The entirety of this sport is incredibly impressive. It is the combination of swimming and gymnastics, which are both Olympic sports. The synchronization and work those ladies put into this sport are as equal as anyone else. It does not make a “nonsense” of the institution and the standards for this sport are very high. I’d respect your opinion if you did not like the sport but disrespecting the sport, the institution which chooses to set a stage for this sport and the people who participate and are dedicated to this sport is making nonsense of yourself.

​@@EC2019 kindly look into the definition of a "sport" 🫶

El Mahry. Absolutely!

I wish!

Eliu Misael Pascual Tapia maybe we’ll see it at the Tokyo Olympics next year

@@patem7379 the money for that was probably stolen by the Brazilian politics... I'm dead serious.

Ikr! At least there's Tokyo to come, and knowing Japan like I do....

Yeah I completely agree. She praised Australia and commented on every move they did. Unlike Egypt she was silent and pointed out their falters.

And then one of them saying: "puts them on first place, take a screenshot of that." Totally unnecessary. As to say that is the only time you will see them in first place.

I agree. She only wanted to point out the failures of them rather than all the good things. I thought they were amazing

She hated on the japanese too smh

Well yea she praised Australia cause she even says she is from Australia and she mad that egypt surpassed in a competition like it was said

If not the hardest sport

Also pole vault

@Andrew Henrickson so swimming is a sport but not that , why?

@Andrew Henrickson Well then get your big boy pen and write a letter to send to the Olympics to state your thoughts!

@Andrew Henrickson its required strength, endurance, stamina so its sports

Just the thought of that makes me feel out of breath.

This just opened my eyes

Wow 🤯

Oh my gosh

As a track runner, that sounds terrifying!

This sport is sasifiing, creative and fun actually.

Because its the hardest sport

SISTARNCTWJSN Lovers it’s not, every sport is hard in its own way

SISTARNCTWJSN Lovers No it’s not?

Poppin’ bruh it’s the hardest sport

I totally agree! These young athletes are amazing and they work so hard for years before the Olympics, etc, I'm sure their young feelings get hurt over and over by overzealous commentators who think they are experts at all sports and the world wants to hear their opinion. WRONG! I would love these major competitions without any rude commentators during the sport and minimal opinions after. Let the medals and other athletes speak. Glad to see others feel the same.

you are so right, I do synchro and it is harder than you can ever imagine!

I like the Australian. But the one that said she'd rather have them just start, and that the one Japanese girl always cries, etc, needs to be fired

@@julesmisty exactly. One of the commentators said one team looked totally exhausted after that ( to say ghetto were not strong ) She should try and do it. They only want the Russians to take the gold .

An dem ca even do half the things , but a fine fault!!! Kmt

now that’s a wholesome fact. thank you mate :)

it wa# said

Tq so much

Thx

Obrigada!

I love you haha

Thanks!

Thank you!

G

MVP

Thanks ^^

Thanks

Yeah, that’s pretty annoying that she said that. 😑🤦🏽‍♀️

She said if you want to know if it went well, watch the girl on the right, she always cries. Personally, I think it's just kind of a hilarious observation that the girl on the right happy-cries. It would be absolutely horrible if she pointed out someone crying when it went badly. I hate it when the cameras chase someone who's devastated to the point where they can't control it, that is just cruel.

Aww.. can’t offend anyone !!!! Don’t wanna hurt someone’s feelings!! 🙄🤨

truth hurts doe

Right

Спасибо большое!

Same!!!! Took the words out of my mouth!!!

and they were sooo young. such a huge achievement

Tanks

You’re amazing 😂😏

ty for this!

Thank you!!💜💜

Thankyou!

It's possible to postpone it nowdays

They can use medications to stop their period

There are so many options this day and time. If they wear a tampon, cup. They are probably, like gymnasts and don't have there period because they keep their body slim.

Anitra Duke being slim doesn’t stop your period, being anemic or underweight or just old malnutrioned can stop it. If you are skinny but healthy like these athletes, you should have a period. This is because if your body isn’t getting the nutrients or food that it needs, it will stop unnecessary processes to save energy such as the menstrual cycle or hair and nail growth. But these girls are extremely healthy, so they shouldn’t have problems like that.

Michelle Irigoyen thanks! We use tampons with no problem. I’ve seen very young girls quit the sport if they cannot figure out how to use a tampon, though. It’s very sad, but elite swimmers don’t even think about their periods.

A lot of her comments were so unnecessary.

Divine Pearl I know!!

I care and I agree with her.

Vlad ok but we don’t care about what you think

Exactly!!🤣🤣🤣

It’s like they were ready to hate on Egypt. I don’t know what beef they have, but the team did a great job.

One time Australia took to long to set up the flip the commentators said nothing about that bit. when Egypt did it they mentioned it

Also one of the commentators are Australian

Arjayplex lmao same! They are all so athletic and the sport should be recognised way more then it is. All of the swimmers are so talented, amazing and inspiring!!!

It's easy , I tried one day, it's easy to master , friends ,

I make synchronized swimming as a hobby and with practice it's easy

Kinda sad cause the pool might have too much chlorine

kylle tongol ive read that they wear contacts to protect them

Ani Lahser most commentators are like that for artistic sports and it’s really annoying

@@moonlight_oats but this one made lots of rude comments...it's sad to watch

Ani Lahser some people are blind ;)

TheMontrealGirl while that is a valid point, The commentator in this video was making comments that were just rude and I don’t think much of what they said would have been to enjoyable for a blind individual either, they clearly weren’t trying to be all that helpful to those who can’t see, they sounded stuck up and pretentious, thinking this was about them, that the world wanted to here their opinions as apposed to just watch or listen to what is happening. I’m not saying we should get rid of commentators, I’m saying we should only hire the ones who will give helpful info about what the performers are doing, and keep their mouths shut about how “they wish that they would just hurry up and start the routine” very good point to bring up though :)

Its always normal that the announcer or commenatator will speak for it it is his/her job why reporting this coverage if they will not make any sounds its not a church nor a sacred plce let have fun in watching it and appreciate talents of the participants

which part was that?

i was thinking that too, how rude. they were so negative the entire time, like they were completely bias

Yes they were so annoying & rude!

@elizabethitota - Someone just above this comment noted that the Brits always sound like they're better than you. Amen. And the Aussies always sound even more superior than that because they're not British.

Rebecca Lynn seriously tho

You know,I was just upset about the announcer

Cause they’re racist and jealous

@@victorianichkhun8568 i know!

Literally searched for this comment...seriously disgusting towards the Egyptian team no one cares what you don’t like it’s about the teams!

Really they are so BAD...

@@llaa3245 can you do it doh??

Ya... they were amazing tbh

LL AA they were new to the Olympics they didn't know what they were expecting

@@happyrocko Exactly for their age and also being there for the first time, they blew my mind. Can definitely achieve wonders in the future.

Jin_ 123 hi

Hehe, waterproof?

Yeah, right?

BAHAHAHAH

its waterproof makeup and the costumes wouldn't be that tacky. so the answer is no glitter

Maegan Langevin too many

I can assure you, A LOT.

It happens so much a lot of them suffer concussions

Synchro Syd lmao!! 😂

Its funny but serious

Ссупер!!☺

@@MM_FarmAndExotics you do know that some women suffer from severe cramps right?

@@MM_FarmAndExotics Clearly you don’t have endometriosis, or throw up because of your period, or have migraines because of your period, or have your legs go numb because of that endometriosis, etc.. there is definitely something to be said for a person who does this on their period. Just because YOUR symptoms aren’t that severe doesn’t mean other people’s aren’t. Your experience of a period is not the same as the other several billion folks on this earth that menstruate, believe it or not.

it truly is remarkable how they manage to do all of that

even crazier - they propel their teammates out of the water while they're not breathing, and they can't even take a breath immediately after because they still have to get ready for new formations while they're under the water. honestly inhuman and really, really impressive

Do Men synchro exist? They dont have period

exactlyyyyyyyyyyyy

THANK YOU

Now look closer: do you see any swimmers with their mouths covered? I don’t. So what’s your point?

@@ritabarcar ok, just look: these swimmers have to hold their breath for minutes underwater. their heads are completely submerged; there’s no way to get air. that’s literally the equivalent of having your face completely covered. COMPLETELY COVERED. now, compare this to wearing a mask: a mask has open areas where air can come in, and you can breathe easily. that’s not anywhere near being completely covered. edit: whoops i didn't mean entire minutes. it's around 10-20 seconds. but even then that's quite a long time to hold your breath while kicking around whilst also being upside down.

@@audreyli9000, now YOU look closer, but this time with a TIMER! So, what’s the longest period of time they have their heads completely submerged? And what is it that they do with their mouths the very first second they rise their faces above the water line? That’s right, they exhale! And if you pay attention, they also take a deep breath at the very last second before they submerge. I mean, I don’t really claim you’ll get the point now, but their faces show it quite obviously, again, if you pay attention. And I seriously doubt you can do any of those movements with a muzzle on. But hey, if you’re so content with a mandatory muzzle on your face, since you’re advocating for it that hard, then I guess so be it.

she was salty that a team she wanted didn't get in

cause they form africa. so they cant qualification

Usually there’s Continental championship qualifications to the Olympic Games. With that said, Egypt is essentially the best synchro team in all of Africa so they’re usually participating in the games

Jamaica had a bobsled team.

Do You have a problem !?

@I’m Just here so commentators should be biased?

cheshire cat no they are saying that announcers should be non biased

@Cheese Fries oh sorry. I thought this is a hate comment.

i agreeeee she wouldn't shut uppppppp like just let me watch without your judgments 😂😭

Good luck getting a non-biased commentator after covid

If I were to get just in the finals of an olympic event I would cry like a newborn. Let alone winning a medal. I would even cry if I worked as a cook for the athletes.

@@idraote I love your honesty man.

I mean I’m crying just watching them lmao

Obviously you care. Otherwise, you wouldn't have commented on it.

She obviously missed the fact that the Russian team was crying first, but of course no comment there. tsk tsk lol of course they're crying, they just got a freakin' medal!

Honestly it's saddening and a shame

When?

Wwe

Ikr!!! We don’t want to hear their opinions about them we just want them to guide us along the event😭

Well that’s the English for you.. lol come on you didn’t know they always sound like they’re better than you 😊🤦🏻‍♀️😂

As a1960’s synchronized swimmer we have really advanced the sport to wow!!

THANK YOU! SO MUCH!

I agree 👍

Don't forget they live in islamic state, it's hard to find a team and to teach them because of local traditions.

Qwasxas

@White Moon So it means I will get too? I don't really understand people's why they see religions but not this that we all are human beings.. I'm a Pakistani Muslim and 15 y/o and soon I'm gonna join figure skating and if I reached at my goal then I will prepare myself for getting hate from other humans ✊🏻

Weak

They have a Russian coach

@@charleshaime1986 how did u know that?

Don't tell that to the commentators who didn't like them at all! Smdh. They did very well, and didn't get any recognition

@@margauxf4321 maybe I should tell them then;)

Time?

💀💀💀SAMEEE!!

Dead it had me dead because of how accurate it is 🤣

test

test2

@@KCannaQueen test3

maybe they were angels in Armageddon? lol

Valkyries?

Russians are angels compare to you...

Angels are warriors too

The program is called "Pray" or "Pray for the world", it was created in memory of deceased 15 y.o. granddaughter of the coach. Those girls are supposed to be archangels - angel-warriors.

The people who hired them asked for their opinion

And who asked for yours??

itoo disliked the commentators comment on team Egypt

I interpreted it as not liking the delay between their walk on and the start of the routine.

You kinda did.

Jazlyn Bowe that’s a good idea tbh

siti Nu umaira Lia bkibik sm gdykateotp magerktu peiak

couldn’t agree more

@@ser34 hi serenity.

Even as an Australian I can hear the bias. I almost thought this channel was an official Australian Olympic channel

Period!!! 👏

Okay

it wont be difficult if you get the correct ingredients.^^ Choose the sport that you know.

Audra Hofacker there’s an underaged speaker

*underwater

There are no speakers underwater, the leader makes noises underwater with her mouth closed so that the others follow the music.

Matigu i do synchro and when we perform there’s underwater speakers

They have speakers underwater

Spring Roll THANK YOU 😊

@@biggycheeseyomama6853 Why no problem lol

Omg for real !!! I though Egypt’s routine was beautiful. Plus we all know the commentator couldn’t do anywhere close to as good as they did. I can’t wait to Egypt come back better then ever !!!!!!!

@@mgoud1549 E x a c t l y! And just like you said. At the end of the day, whether its first or last, all of them are still Olympians. She'll never be on their level

AGREEED I JUST WANTED TO PRESSSS A MUTE BUTTON FOR HER

They were one of the most entertaining imo

I'm agree. Egypt was great to join the final round. Hope for more next Olympics.

You should start getting 8.0 + scores

Oi vicente

Dem just love chat!! Like dem ca do ntn. Dem lucky!!!

I absolutely never done synchronise swimming, but I used to swim for 10 years. I seriously don't know how this girls are able to keep the breath while moving at such speed 😂😂😂

Usually just crazy stamina and a lot of energy. Basically you need to almost be hyperactive.

Trust me. And water has so much resistance too. The whole thing just looks exhausting.

Why, Ling Ling, I'm sure you'd be able to do it too. While practicing, of course

œ æ hahahahahaha!

They’re incredible))

Amazing 😻😻😻

The russians are just machines of artistic sport, makes sense for their long history of doing them.

Drugs

and yessssss I liked my own comment

Maybe she does. Nothing wrong with pointing out emotion.

I didn’t see that as her being rude, she was just pointing out the fact, but I get how you might think she’s rude

@@chioma2844 No it is rude. She singled her out in the group and made it a point to mention how she always gets emotional. She could have just said "and some of the girls are even getting emotional at having won a medal, yada yada yada". This commentator is just rude in general though. She seemed to like making snappy comments whenever she couldn't think of anything else to say

Everybody will become the professional having everyday 8 -or-10-hours practice.

@@Lirinka88 not really, doesn't work like that

@@edgarkazak5228 it kinda does

They all professionals once they reach Olympics.

@@Lirinka88 there was time spanish team trained 10 hours a day and failed.

❤️❤️❤️

THANK YOU!

Yea.... in a flood they gonna be the survivors, they'll be flooding in the water for a long time. ೕ(`･୰･´)و ̑̑

No I think it was amazing but a bit rushed ! Maybe that's why less points.

@@becaray676 No.

Exactly what I thought!

We do breath training

James Parker What’s breath training consist of?

Jere Holding your breath while like doing planks or like sit-ups in sets... like holding your breath while doing a plank for 20 seconds, 10 sec rest, repeat I have to do this for seimming

@@jere6487 In each session we do conditioning where we spend a lot of time holding our breaths while doing basic movements like rising and sinking in the underwater vertical position. In our warmups we often do intense underwaters for example we would have.... Wind sprint (sprint front crawl without any breathes) for 25m and tumble turn at the end without taking a breath and straight into an underwater for 25m. We would usually repeat this about 4-5 times.

😂

bruh that's pretty disrespectful

Catherine Prystupa-Maule - I think they’re just saying that during those last few minutes they will just mess around and things. They’re not trying to say that they can do this or that these Olympic qualifying swimmers r only as talented as a high school swimmer. As a high school swimmer myself, I agree with them 100%. Those last few minutes it’s fun to go mess around and pretend ur good at things like this. That’s all, no hate 👍🏼

@@catherineprystupa-maule814 it's literally a joke lmfaooo

Catherine Prystupa-Maule lighten up omg... it is a pretty funny visual if u allow ur self to see it.
