The route of the Olympic flame

A blog to share words and thoughts about Synchronized Swimming Un blog para compartir palabras e ideas sobre Nado Sincronizado

Gemma Mengual, a name of synchronized swimmer that became the face of this sport in her country (Spain) received special awards in Eindhoven recognizing her outstanding achievements on her sportive career and considering that she swims solo, duet, team and combination, all technicals and free routines, makes her the most complete synchronized swimmer in the world now on days. During the European Championships in Eindhoven, she won 4 gold medals (solo, duet, team and free combination), needless to say, she will be one of the names to follow during this year's Olympic Games in Beijing. That is just awesome and for sure we will be seeing more from what she is able to do :) Congratulations Gemma!
Gemma Mengual, el nombre de una nadadora sincronizada que se convirtio en la imagen de este deporte en su pais (Espana), recibio premios especiales en Eindhoven en reconocimiento a los logros obtenidos durante su carrera deportiva... y considerando que ella hace solo, dueto, equipo y combo, todas las rutinas tecnicas y libres, esto la hace la nadadora sincronizada mas completa en el mundo hoy en dia. Durante el Campeonato Europeo de Natacion en Eindhoven, ella gano 4 medallas de oro (solo, dueto, equipo y combo); sin necesidad de decirlo, ella sera uno de los nombres a seguir durante los proximos Juegos Olimpicos en Beijing. Es simplemente asombroso y seguro que seguiremos viendo mas de lo que ella es capaz de hacer :) Felicitaciones Gemma!
The European Swimming Championship in Eindhoven has already began and there is where all the swimmers get to face eachother before the Olympic Games. That sounds very interesting and I wanted to be there but well, I couldn't... nevertheless, there is a web-site where you can see all the events in feeds on the INTERNET (that makes you feel you are there) and you can follow all the events live! After the events I have watched, I must admit that most of what is shown are underwater movements (but I am a Judge, so I want to see mainly what is going on outside the water), well, maybe it will get improved for next events and after all, at least I get to see some (so, no complains). Having Russia missing from the entries, there is an open way for other Teams trying to get closer to the podium; only Natalia Ischenko is swimming on behalf of the Russian Federation and yesterday placed 1st in overall after the solo preliminars... but Gemma Mengual won the Free Routine, what will happen on the finals? there is no other way than waiting (and at least watching it online).
