Olympics synchronized swimming live stream: Watch online – August 19

Live stream info and how to watch Olympics synchronized swimming Teams Free Routine medal round on Friday from Rio 2016 online

After a riveting day of intense competition and close scores, the 2016 Rio Olympics preliminary rounds of synchronized swimming Teams Free Routine is complete. Now it’s time to start handing out some hardware in the event and they’ll waste little time in doing so on Day 13. On Friday, August 19, one of the events that’ll get going in the morning will be the Olympics synchronized swimming Teams Free Routine finals and it promises to steal the show.

During the prelims, Russia proved why’re they’re the gold medal favorites in this event and why they’ve been so dominant in the sport for so long. They put on a near flawless routine and for the day as a whole and won the day by over 1.3 points over China. The Chinese coming in second was no surprise either, though, considering that they came into Rio 2016 as the favorites as well.

However, what we’ll have to look out for is the Japanese team that finished in third on Thursday. They weren’t considered a medal favorite coming into Rio 2016, but they came out of nowhere to just edge out Ukraine for that third spot on the first day of the competition. If they can replicat that on Friday, they could be walking away with a bronze medal.
