Nah, these ladies literally moonwalked, upside down, AS A GROUP in Unison, in 9 ft of water! 🤯

What most people don't realize is when they're at their waist or hips out of the water, they are in DEEP water, so that is the power of their legs that get them that high out of the water for that long. Synchronous swimmers are some of the most muscular people on the planet.

Kevin, when I tell you it is a lot of training...every type of training you can thing of goes into it. And the lung capacity is ridiculous. They have both in water and dryland training. Typically 6 hours in water, and 2 hours dryland work--weights, biking, running, aerobics..

I love the camera technology now is so advanced we can see split screen.

I understand why you had to make a new word cause this shit is wild

to have the stamina to swim upside down in sync is extraordinary they are constantly swimming during a the entire routine

Practice, practice, practice. I’m always enthralled watching them. They can’t hear music to follow the beat either. I would be gasping for air.

After watching this performance in particular, I was thinking the same thing. & I think the sport is severely underrated

I drowned watching this competition. Insane athletes.

Can I tell you, between you, Lesley, Flav & Snoop-this has been the BEST OLYMPIC watching/commentary experience ferrr meeee EVER 🤗🤓 Thank you Good Sir for doing this good work 🤭

"I'm 270, I know people that can flip. I understand the *concept of a clip" 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭🤣 nih my side hurt 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Upside down, underwater moonwalking not taking all the awards felt like robbery to me.

I’ve been saying the same thing for years! Like I need them to do videos on how the practice goes because I’m literally so confused and mesmerized at the same time.

I can't wait for this event! It really needs to be hyped up more, so thank you!!! These women train harder than most athletes because it's contains all types of strength and skills to do this at the Olympic level!!😍😍😍😍

All very valid questions 😂

Dude this & water polo are two of the hardest…. Should be way more popular 💯🇺🇸💯🇺🇸💯

It’s seriously minnnnndblowing!!!!! I don’t understand either!

I would’ve drowned 😭
It's the praise team underwater Lol 😂🤣

@ms_opinion They're amazing swimmers and actually suffer more injuries than most other Olympic athletes. They have to use ALL of their abdominal muscles continuously to stay afloat. They can never touch the bottom.

Same Kevin everything time I’ve seen this sport I’m always like “HOW”

Oh snap also before the water when they walking out then boom jump at once! How

Treading water upside down is amazing

Syncronizationally!!!!

& not a hair out of place

270 lbs is crazy 😭

How do they not drown?! How do they not gasp for air? How????

it’s incredible 👏🏾

The last sentence has me cackling 🤣🤣🤣

Right, cause how can you critique each other when you cant see what your feet are doing above water. 🤣

"I'm two se'emny" 🤣
