Synchronized swimming
Next medal? Final with Alexandris from 19.30
The Alexandri sisters Anna-Maria and Eirini-Marina missed out on the medal they had hoped for in synchronized swimming. On Saturday evening, they came fourth at the Olympic Games in Paris, narrowly missing out on bronze.
The ÖOC team scored 555.6678 points with the result of Saturday's free freestyle and were not only beaten by the Chinese Olympic champions Wang Liuyi/Wang Qianyi, but also by Kate Shortman/Isabella Thorpe from Great Britain and Bregje and Noortje de Brouwer from the Netherlands. They were 2.7285 points short of bronze.
After the technical free skate, the Greek-born team were in second place, ahead of the Brits and the Dutch twins. At 54.05, the 26-year-old Alexandris had chosen a higher level of difficulty than in the technical freestyle. The motto of the precisely executed choreography was "Condor", referring to the bird of prey native to South America. Although she scored a strong 288.4145 points, her competitors scored even higher.
Here are the results:
Setbacks during the season
The sisters won the gold medal (free free skate) at last year's World Championships in Fukuoka, and the Alexandri duo also won gold (free and technical free skate) at the 2023 European Championships in Otopeni, Romania. This year, Anna-Maria and Eirini-Marina missed the World and European Championships due to illness and injury, with only their third triplet sister Vasiliki competing successfully in the solo.
