A few days ago, after several months of rest, the Chinese synchronized swimming team regrouped in Nanjing to officially open the preparation mode for the 2024 Paris Olympic Cycle. For this army of women and girls with "millennium old two", whether they can successfully achieve the replacement of old and new in the next few years and always maintain the level of the top three in the world is a concern for everyone. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese synchronized swimming team won two silver medals in the collective and double events, and what was always pressed on them was the "big Mac" Russian team of the world's synchronized swimming. At the Beijing Olympic Games, Chinese synchronized swimming achieved a historic breakthrough, and after several generations of efforts, they won a valuable Olympic bronze medal.
Today, the Chinese synchronized swimming team has come to the second place in the world, but the team that has never been able to surpass is Russia. Many people wonder, what is the difference between the Chinese team and the Russian team?
Previously, Chinese synchronized swimming star Huang Xuechen said in an interview that the gap between them and the Russian team is all-round, whether it is the quality of the action, the difficulty, or the artistic expression and appeal, the Russian team is the ceiling of all teams. Masayo Imura, known as the "godmother of flower swimming", is a pioneer in China's synchronized swimming career towards a strong future.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, in order to improve the Olympic performance of Chinese synchronized swimming, the Chinese Swimming Association spared no expense to hire Masayo Imura to coach. In just a few short years, the arrival of Imura Masayo has made China Flower Tour climb to a new peak. At that time, twin sisters Hua Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting were well-known flower travel stars, and their performances in the double project made people linger. Masayo Imura said bluntly, "Wenwen and Tingting have the most beautiful legs in the world flower tour."
At the 2012 London Olympics, China's synchronized swimming went one step further and won the silver medal in the collective event, while the gold medal was still Russia. At the Rio Olympics, the Chinese team and the Russian team competed fiercely in the short program, but in the free self-selection final, the gap between the two sides was very obvious, Russia won the gold with a score of 99.133, and the Chinese team ended up with two silver medals again. Someone once said that watching synchronized swimming competitions, the referee's work should not be too easy. Russia, China and Ukraine are the top three teams in the iron, and the three teams have formed 3 grades in the score.
The Russian team led the Chinese team by 2 points, and the Chinese team maintained a 2-point advantage over the Ukrainian team, and the result was already known before the game began. The Russian team is surpassing the United States team to the world first, will the Chinese team have a chance to catch up with the Russian team and sit on the championship throne in the near future? The new Olympic cycle has begun, and the head coach of the Chinese synchronized swimming team said that after the blood change, the Chinese team will continue to take advantage of the momentum and seize the opportunity to further narrow the gap with the Russian team at the Paris Olympic Games. Do you think the Chinese synchronized swimming team can beat the Russian synchronized swimming team in the future?
