-dlc- Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 1 minute ago, bishopshodan said: I see some folk upset about the temp addition of breakdancing. To me, its just another category of rhythmic gymnastics. They make it look easier than it obviously is. The level of fitness to be able to do some of those moves is off the charts. I love the addition...keeping it fresh and progressive. It was the Chinese woman who drew me in...I thought she was phenomenal. I don't think she won but from what I saw/know, she should have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 It's not the breakdancing, it's the synchro pool events that I just go. Huh? I know there's coordination, timing and athletics, but it just seems I dunno just not my cup of tea. Just wait until the Mad Max Beyond Velodrome happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synchronized swimming is basically the gymnastics of the pool. Extremely difficult! They are holding their breath for a majority of the time as well.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
