Russia confirmes itself in the Duet Free
Ishchenko and Romashina, the Synchro Czarinas, win another gold medal, the Duet Free one, with a very high score, 98.883. The Final confirmed the paging Olympics ranking: once again, Spanish Fuentes and Mengual (98.333) have to bow to the Russian rule. Third place for Chinese twin Jiang (97.000). Canada can’t reach the podium with Boudreau-Gagnon and Isaac, preceding Italian duet Adelizzi and Lapi for a few points.
Svetlana Romashina (RUS) – Gold medal
«We are very happy to have secured the gold medal. We wanted to distinguish ourselves from the other swimmers. Our performance was perfect, our coreography was easy and full of details. We have been training for eight months. We didn't select this kind of music for a particular reason. We just wanted to add a new style to our performance».
Gemma Mengual (ESP) – Silver medal
«Compared to yesterday's performance we corrected a few things and this was appreciated. I believe this time we have been evaluated correctly and the final score reflects the level of our performance. For the Team Free Routine Final Ana (Tarres, Spain's coach) prepared a beautiful coreography based on the theme 'La casa encantada' (The enchanted house) which I believe the crowd will love».
Wenwen Jiang (CHN)- Bronze Medal
«We did not expect to get the chance to clinch a medal today. We felt a bit exhausted compared to yesterday's preliminaries. In the morning we are more tired than in the afternoon. Anyway we performed much better compared to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and we were more relaxed too. Our hard work paid off. There are figures that only we, as twins, are able to perform. This is also because our legs are equally long».
门古尔对今天的打分非常满意,说分数公平地反映了她们的表现和水平,裁判肯定了她们在决赛中的一些改进,并提到她们的集体自由自选会非常棒,观众们一定会很喜欢。
(这点让我很是期待)
罗马什娜说自己非常高兴,为了这套节目她和伊斯申科一起练了8个月,她们的表演是超群的,充满了许多精心揣摩的细节。她对这次全新风格的节目非常满意。对于音乐的选择其实并没有什么特别的想法,她们只是想要改变一下风格。
蒋文文也非常满意自己的表现,并提到昨天的预赛结束以后,她们都有点虚脱的感觉。但无论如何,她们的表艳远远超过了北京奥运会上的首演,感觉所有辛勤的汗水都得到了回报。现在,她们的心境非常放松(好消息!集体自由自选再次发挥最好的水平!)
同时她也提到让她们最自豪的腿,由于腿一样长,所以她们可以做出全世界独一无二的动作,完成最为独特的表演。(这点倒是的,西班牙队这次在自由自合中也模仿了这个水面正方形,但她们需要四个人配合起来做) |
