Olympics synchronized swimming live stream: Watch online – August 15th

Live stream info and how to watch the Duets Technical Routine in Olympics synchronized swimming from Rio 2016 online
The misunderstood but captivating event–synchronized swimming–will be seeing action in Day 10 of the 2016 Olympics held in Rio.
From water polo to individual medley, aquatic events are always a popular watch at the Olympics. This year, we have already seen Michael Phelps dominate in his last go around, Katie Ledecky blow her opponents out of the water (pun intended), and Simone Manuel break barriers.
Americans have dominated the waters thus far in the indoor swimming events. For synchronized swimming, however, some others countries will have their time to shine.
Natalia Ishchenko & Svetlana Romashina of Russia, Huang Xuechen & Sun Wenyan of China and Lolita Ananasova & Anna Voloshyna of Ukraine are favored in the duet routines. Russia, China and Ukraine are also favored in team events.
It is unfortunate that synchronized swimming does not get more viewers than it does. When actually giving it a chance and watching it, it is very entertaining. You can see why it is an Olympic event, with all the precision, strength and balance required in the water.
And, of course, the synchronization of the two partners in duet events or full teams.
Monday, August 15 will consist of just one event, which is duets technical routine. Seeing the chemistry between the two partners in the duet events is one of my favorite things about synchronized swimming. That will be on full display on Monday.
