SHANGHAI, July 19 – Russia won their third successive synchronised swimming team technical world championships gold medal yesterday with a high tempo routine that earned sustained applause from the audience at the Oriental Sports Centre.

The Russian team, who have totally dominated synchronised swimming at world championships and Olympic level since the mid 1990s, scored 98.300 points and brought an audible gasp from the crowd before they burst into applause, which was only eclipsed by their support for the home team.

China claimed silver with a performance that brought the crowd to their feet but was not quite enough to overcome the Russians and they finished with 96.800 points.

Spain won the bronze medal, scoring 96.000 points. – Reuters
