This is the Spanish Synchronized Swimming Team competing in the 2009 World Aquatics Championships in Rome. Their performance was hailed as a game-changer for the sport, and it will be immediately obvious why. These are some truly bad-ass athletes!
How many times do you think they kicked each other in the head rehearsing this? If I joined the team, they’d have to get a neurologist on staff to save trips to the E.R.
