I just started watching this year. I can't believe it took me so long to recognize this sport! It's absolutely stunning!

... has brought to the future... In USA? May be! In the world? Common.. China, Russia and even Ukraine are giggling

@@user-qy8rs4yg4c I didn't say that USA was #1, so you can chill. I just said the routine was modern, and the sport deserved more praise---for any country performing it. You don't have to be an ass.

Imagine if music videos had these commentators

That is a really good idea:)

Agreed. I don’t mind commentary but it was waaaay too much. Ruined the immersion of the routine!!!!

Yes. I felt the same

Turn your sound down.

Wow GREAT :D may I ask you their city or state, i wanna enroll into this sport, I am wondering where do they practice and learn

Might as well call themselves the cheer squad

They really need to SHUT UP it ruins the viewing and intensity of the routine

Exactly!

Ive noticed all the Synchro commentators do this. Instead of saying "lets listen and watch" then discussing only specific aspects of the routine, they just ramble on and on through the entire thing.

OMG! They were so annoying 🙄

There’s always commentators over these videos, similar to a news feed.

You can turn the volume down

A whole different breed

Lol I’m a synchronized swimmer def not easy like ppl think

@@jennalatulippe3773 ^^

no they are not! at least at artistic swimming they are worst

the highlight at 1:06

Si, como que a la entrenadora Loftus le gusta inspirarse demasiado en otras rutinas. Después de tanto tiempo ya deberían removerla.

they are synchronised to the music.

who cares! they are americans. Thats enough

cause USA are the first from the end )

Yeah, I was confused by the diversity comment

Diverse in state and countries, it doesn't have to be race

@@siamon5793 That’s not diversity it never was. The lack of diversity issue has mainly been about race, since I was a little girl. It’s not all about race, no but it’s a huge factor.

@@sonyapeach however, you can use diversity for other things. Yes, all the contestant are white but they are from different states; diversity. I'm asian, born in a south Asian country and moved a few years ago and I know how hard it is to find diversity in terms of race. However, you and some others are complicating the term diversity, it doesn't always need to refer to race and hasn't in this context

@@siamon5793 I’m not complicating the word. I’m stating the issue with America and how whites use the word to dismiss having to have true diversity. In America it was very common place for the media/society to label a film, school, neighborhood, city, sing group, etcetera as diverse when it was all white. Sure they had different backgrounds but most people in America have different backgrounds unless they are family. That isn’t true diversity. That what America have been doing since it’s creation to hide the fact that other people live/lived in America before the European takeover.

You are correct that none of the other teams would be diverse from any of the other countries you mentioned. However, the majority of those countries don't claim to be the melting pot that the US does. Therefore Diversity in America is most often used to describe a mixture of different racial ethnicities and historically marginalised groups of people. Everyone knows that. Arguing anything else is simply preposterous. This group is obviously all European-American in background with possibly one or two of Hispanic background that identify as white.

Sorry, I don't debate racists online. Your opinion means absolutely nothing to me.

@@audraabbott5788 Actually the people who are racist are those promoting false narratives about discrimination and who fail to call out instances of unconscious bias or those who pretend as if racism doesn't exist because it makes them uncomfortable. Anyone who speaks out against racism makes them uncomfortable because they don't want to face the reality of that struggle, largely because usually they are not a part of that marginalized group. So they gas light people who call out racism and invalidate their experience.

I know right?!?

Diversity means a variety of different things, like the commentator said all from different states and all have parents from different countries. So using the definition the commentator was correct in his usage

so afro-latina, latina, and white isn't diverse enough? it would be a challenge to get one of every ethnicity in a single team, this is more diverse than other Olympic teams, which is in line with what the commentators said
