This is not true. From FIN rules: Technically routine: 50% execution, 50% general impression Free routine: 50% technical execution, 50% artistic impression

Synchronized swimming is really technical, artistic score isn't too big. If you do a little mistake, like some country do with barracuda at past world championship they are strongly penalize. If they doesn't have a good artistic form it's doesn't matter (i encourage you to see the difference between Spanish routines - especially Carbonell routine - and the Ukrainian/Chinese routines)

It's a bit hard to explain in English for me, I don't know the good translation for the technical words. "Artistic swimming" give more important to the artistic segment and he become more similar to acrobatic gymnastic than the currently form of synchronised swimming (like the highlight routine, how bad it is..)

This system will give less quota to developed sporting country, and this will strongly penalize Europe (and North America). A lot of top athletes will miss the Olympics only becouse some people thinks that small country have the rights to compete in EVERY sport. For me the actually systems is pretty good, they only should reduce the continental quotas. Olympics are for the best athletes, I think that we agree about it.

This is amazing if we want kill European sport, a really fair system

It was a different concept, they aren't only words. Thanks god in Italy and Russia it's still "synchronized swimming" and it will never change...

It's synchronised swimming, don't play whit fire

Damn, Siniakova in tears leaving the court after losing to Kvitova 6-1 6-2, that's really sad, she ran away from the field in a mix of emotions Siniakova started to cry for the first time after the audience ovation shortly after one of her rare second set points

Yes, this is really the type of outfit that i expect from Dimitrov

When you woke up at 1am for see Australian Open and it's raining...

It's time to start with the excellent elimination: Fucsovics defeated Shapovalov for 3-1

There is a controversy about it, PATHF was splitted in 2018 into two federations

B

I think that i missed something, i was sure that they change the format

The track was decided by draw. Welcome FIS rules

Olympics are for the top athletes and few invitational place. Australia and New Zealand are in Oceania, they should compete for Oceania (that it's already the weakest continent).

In Slovakia they don't show waterpolo? Here they sent too some match were Italy isn't involved

So do you want increase the useless quotas for Oceania? No thanks.

Usually is the host that combine the votes and send to the juries the final vote

Honestly I don't know if this scale of values will be fair, of course it will be more fair than the current one. I vote A but I think that after the 2020 contest we should consider if it could be improve and if it's better than the past scale

Aaand not more. Today the track was amazing, really really fast. Pavlichenko destroyed the TR
