    Synchronised Swimming - Duets free routines

    Katie Clark and Olivia Federici aka Great Britain's synchronised swimmers are performing 11th in the duets free routines now.

    If you are unfamiliar with synchronised swimming, and I would not judge you if you are, this sport requires endurance, grace, flexibility, apparently a permanent smile on your face and incredibly strong lungs. 

    It's three minutes of high intensity, dynamic, (and sometimes terrifying) movement. 

    I don't care who you are, it will impress you.

    "It wasn’t my kind of conditions today, that’s just the way of it," Keri-anne Payne told the BBC after finishing seventh in the women's 10km race.

    "Those girls are world class and on this occasion, it wasn’t my race.

    "I’m not ruling anything out but my 10km career – I put everything into that race, everything into the last four years. 

    "I have a business to run when I get home so I’m looking forward to spending a bit of time outside of the water.

    “I will certainly never be hanging up my goggles."

    "Training has been going really really well. To get a bronze medal, I am over the moon.

    "The girls are all throwing really well. They can always produce their best in the last round. I didn’t expect that I would hold third, I just wanted to throw further.

    "I had to double take a little bit! It was just incredible to see the number three there and an national record, I couldn’t be happier."
