Synchronised Swimming

At the risk of sounding pervy, I'm sitting watching the synchronised swimming in the Lympics. It's an odd er, 'sport'. I find it toe-curling but somehow compulsive. 

Better yet, it's rhythmic gymnastics later. That's actually quite trippy!

Just in here to wait for the "not a real sport" and "it should be banned" comments.

The pool should get the medal.

Haha, yeah I know. It's actually seems very physically demanding. I used to hate it, but for some reason I find it fascinating. Excruciating but fascinating.

Weird activity, not sure where I sit on it being a sport or not.

Its like ballroom dancing in water isn't it? I don't think many people would claim that as a sport, despite the huge physical demands on the competitors.

Yeah, I mentioned it in the Olympics thread.  Very odd but lots of fun.  The way they all walk in is hilarious

I've not seen any this Olympics but have seen the walk ins before, just bizarre to those not in the know.

I like the gymnastics but not sure what the little flicks and arm waving adds to the women's floor discipline.
