Coach of the four-time synchronized swimming world champion Alexandra Maltseva Gana Maksimova said she was willing to risk a point in her ratings, but would not cut Queen’s ingenious musical composition in order to lose intonation and integrity.
Maltsev presented a new free program at the Friendship Games. This is a production of the song Queen – Who Wants to Live Forever. According to the new rules, which the International Swimming Federation could approve in the fall, the program will have to be reduced.
We will not cut the program. We only went ten seconds too long. And it has already been reduced. It’s impossible to carve out Freddie Mercury’s musical composition so that it doesn’t lose, in order to keep the cycle and leave all the loudest parts. I don’t want to make a bunch of incomprehensible things out of a brilliant work – it’s important to me to preserve the integrity of a musical work. Speeding up means losing sound quality, losing intonation. All of this is very important to me. I am ready to lose a point each time.
– It’s a risk.
“Internally, it’s not a risk at all. If we take international competitions, we do those elements that nobody does.
– Disqualification after all because it does not threaten?
“No, but they take away the score,” Maksimova told .
