VIII. Gay Games Cologne 2010

French male team has done their best to win amazing, eccentric competition in synchronized swimming today. Not only aligned movements in water were among their advantages in comparison with their British mates. It was first of all about artistic expression and great team work.

‘Synchroswimming seems to me even more challenging sport then figure skating’, - says Konstantin Yablotskiy from Russia who has just recently won golden medal in dance competition for figure skating. ‘Greatest thing about Gay Games is that it´s not about sport excersize it´s much more about idea and how you can realize this idea in performance’ thinks Denis Matveev who participated in swimming. Both Russian guys were excited about professional performance of their French colleagues and noted that it´s almost impossible to play sport in Russia as a gay group. ‘Even it´s quite popular among gay community to visit fitness clubs in Moscow, it´s not possible to find venue for practicing figure skating for the same-sex couple’, - comments Konstantin. Despite that fact, participants from Russia are highly inspired and willing to take sport culture to the new level in their mother-land. Therefore they cheer for all their mates from other countries and promise to come back for the next Gay Games with more achievements.

Meanwhile, winners for all water sports (swimming, synchronize swimming, waterpolo) were defined today. More opportunities to watch and support players in soccer, volleyball, basketball and badminton are to come tomorrow. We part of it!
