China News Service, Paris, August 10 (Reporters Hao Lingyu and Xing Chong) The Chinese synchronized swimming team continued to make history in Paris on August 10. After the synchronized swimming duet free routine competition at the Paris Olympics, the Chinese "sisters" Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi won the gold medal with a total score of 566.4783 points.

Together with the gold medal won in the team events previously, the Chinese synchronized swimming team swept both gold medals in this Olympics' synchronized swimming events.

The Olympic synchronized swimming duet event consists of two parts: duet technical routine and duet free routine. In the duet technical routine competition that ended on the 9th, Wang Liuyi/Wang Qianyi got all the declared difficulty points with the theme action named "Lotus", and finally ranked first in the score.

On the 10th, the "sisters" appeared in the duet free routine with "Leopard", which was completely different from "Lotus". Compared with the softness of "Lotus", "Leopard" showed speed and strength. Although the difficulty of the set of movements was not the highest, Wang Liuyi/Wang Qianyi's excellent completion quality and artistic performance helped them get 289.6916 points, ranking fourth in the free routine.

Together with the 276.7867 points in the duet technical free exercise, the Chinese team ranked first in total and won the championship. The British team and the Dutch team won the silver and bronze medals respectively.

In the free routine competition, the British, Dutch, Greek and other teams all performed relatively difficult movements. After the competition, Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi admitted that the difficulty of their main opponents' movements was higher than expected, so "they had been preparing themselves mentally since the night before the competition. Because the difficulty of their own movements could not be changed, they could only rely on the quality of their performance."

When asked what word they would like to use to describe their journey in this Olympics, Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi said in unison: "Perfect." (End)
