Athletistic / Olympic Games. American synchronized swimmer Keana Hunter shared her thoughts on the absence of the Russian synchronized swimming team at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Since 2000, Russian women have won every gold medal at the Olympic Games, without exception.
“Personally, I always want the best to perform at the Olympics, because it is always better to learn from them, to watch the leaders of the sport. It will be interesting to watch Russian women in the future, when they can return to international competitions. It is important to understand how they adapt to the new rules.
I look at the past performances of the Russians! As a child, I was constantly watching the performances of the Russian team at the Olympics. And not only at the Olympics, because I really like their solos. The Russians are a great force in our sport, they move so well. They are very inspiring to everyone!” Hunter is quoted by “Championship.”
- See it for yourself. Russia has announced a boycott of the Paris Olympics.
The Russian synchronized swimming team won 12 gold medals at the Olympic Games. Since February 2022, Russian synchronized swimmers have been deprived of the opportunity to participate in international competitions due to the politicization of the sport.
