Synchronized swimming is weird.

I was watching it earlier and I thought the same thing. They look like dolls.

This is my new crack. I am utterly fascinated. I love the twin camera. Did you know their hair looks like that because they cover it in gelatin?

The Russians? Evil lesbian robots. They literally scissored yesterday AND I think I saw one shoot lasers out of her eyes at the French team. It's a little scary, and I want to swap them out for benevolent lesbian robots.

I used to swim in an amateur team in school. It's freaking hard to do all the moves.

Synchro is huge around here, they have a synchro program at our (and all the other) outdoor pool and I see kids doing it. It is awfully cute, and Anna watches them all open-mouthed. .

toledo, have you watched them? I was blown away by them yesterday. I cannot believe how much exertion they do without breathing. No air! It's amazing. I think it is a zillion times harder than trampoline, which I still can't believe is a sport.

Me too! I was busting some out for LO in the pool the other day and then I realized that I must look like a weirdo as I am not graceful or in that kind of shape anymore.
