Four-time synchronized swimming world champion Oleksandr Maltsev believes that Ukrainian synchronized swimmers wrongly won medals at world championships because they made mistakes in the program.
– The Ukrainian national team received an award for making the grossest mistakes, in my opinion. But everyone closed their eyes. Also, the tournament featured a lot of political themes that are usually forbidden to use, but this time everything was actively promoted. This is purely my opinion. But if you look at the performance of the women’s pair in the technical program, it is easy to see that one of the athletes at the end forgot the combination and did completely different movements. Even the average viewer can see it. Also, some elements were executed with big errors.
But the marks are fixed as if the judges knew in advance what marks to put. With these spots that the girls made, any other team would have definitely been left without medals, quotes RT Maltsev.
Ukrainian athletes Marina and Vladislava Alekseeva won silver among the duets at the World Aquatics Championships, which took place in Budapest.
