Synchronized swimming is one of the most impressive, unappreciated sport in the Olympics. These women cannot touch the bottom of the pool, imagine the strength it takes to lift their teammates out of the water and throw them using only the force from your legs and arms. This is also a sport that has no future besides two 4-minute performances. That's training for about 20 years for 8-minutes of Olympic career. Then they have to find a real career(as in not pro-athlete).
Go watch it on nbc.com, seriously. I'm fascinated.
