Bakhtyreva: “Our new technical program is synchronized swimming for survival”

Russian synchronized swimmer Anastasia Bakhtyreva told that the new technical program for group competitions was the most complex.

World Aquatics changed the rules for synchronized swimming ahead of the 2024 Games in Paris, this affected the structure and content of the programs.

— We now talk more about feeling unwell after the programs. Under the new rules, we have less and less time to breathe. How are you coping? And which of your programs is the most difficult?

— The hardest and most favorite is “Parade of Planets”. This requires perfect coordination and impeccable synchronicity. Our new technical program is essentially synchronized swimming for survival. We are preparing it now.

— What sport do you watch?

— I follow figure skating, I communicate with Sasha Trusova, Sonya Samodelkina and Liza Shanaeva. I also watch rhythmic gymnastics. I wish them strength and patience before each departure,” Bakhtyreva told .
