Top synchronized swimmers arrive to Duna Arena
Change language:
Sportmindig.hu writes that the FINA Artistic Swimming World Series has arrived in Budapest, to the most outstanding venue so far. Budapest follows Paris, Beijing and Tokyo in the line, though the number of guests coming to Budapest is much more than in the previous cities.
The chairman of the FINA Artistic Swimming World Series committee, Lisa Schott, said that the venues in Városliget at last year’s World Championship were astonishing, the Duna Aquatics Arena is a worthy venue as well. She further argues that none of the other World Series’ events showcased such devotion when it came to the organisation.
The event kicks off on Friday afternoon with the performance of the regular gold winner Spanish team, arriving exclusively for the free combination synchronised swimming number.
Saturday is the day of the duo’s, where Sportmindig argues that you should pay special attention to the Italian duo consisting of Linda Cerruti and Constanza Ferro and to the Austrian Alexandri triplets. The triplets, of Greek origins, but playing for the Austrian team, are usually split into duos based on who performs the best before the events. This time it is Anna-Marián and Eirin; Vasiliki is going solo.
Szofi Kiss is representing Hungary in the solo numbers, but she is not by herself, as you will find Hungarian colours in the team’s numbers and in free combination.
