Italy was clearly robbed in favor of Canada, imo.

Let me guess, Russia will win gold, China silver and Ukraine bronze (Japan might sneak in there!) for both the duet and team. 

 

This shouldn't be an Olympic event, not because it's not a sport but because the medals are decided before anyone hits the water.  

And after the first round it's....SUSPENSE!

 

Russia, China, Ukraine with Japan in 4th.

It literally doesn't matter.  The placings were decided months, years, ago.  Just like every other Olympics in the last 20 years.  Like I said, this shouldn't be an Olympic event unless they start judging it based on the performance on the day.

What surprise, people that doesn't know rules and what is behind the routine that laughs

I actually do, but I haven't watched in years since it's been decided in advance.  There is no movement on any podium.  It really doesn't matter.  I'll tune back in when performance on the day starts to matter.

So true.  I used to like this sport a lot, but not anymore.  Too biased.

^After two negative tests, Evangelia Platanioti has just arrived in Tokyo yesterday and will be competing in the duet event 

Now three other team members have tested positive. Greece withdrawn from all artistic swimming events. I am heartbroken for our girls. I don't know if some of them will ever get the chance to make it to the Olympics again. 6 of our 9 girls are teenagers (and two of the other three competed at previous Games), but I don't know if we can qualify for the team again...we barely qualified this time and that was with Japan getting the host spot...
