Synchronized Swimming Duets - Technical Routine Heats | London 2012 Olympics

Highlights from the Aquatics Centre for the preliminary stages of the synchronized swimming duets - technical routines at the London 2012 Olympic Games (6 August 2012).

A relatively recent discipline, synchronized swimming became an Olympic sport for the first time in Los Angeles in 1984, with solo and duet events. These events also took place at the Olympic Games in 1988 in Seoul and in 1992 in Barcelona. Atlanta replaced them in 1996 by a water ballet for eight people. Since the 2000 Olympic Games, the Olympic programme has included the team event and the duet.

Alongside rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized swimming is the only exclusively female Olympic sport.
