Canada was the champion
of the 4th FINA World Trophy competition, held in Montreal on
November 27 to 29, 2009, amongst the 10 best countries in the
world. During the weekend Canada took first in three events:
highlight team, thematic duet, and thematic team. The Canadian team
got perfect marks for the first time since the 1997 FINA World Cup,
earning two marks of 10 for the thematic team
routine.
The FINA World Trophy is
the most spectacular event on the international synchronized
swimming calendar. Held annually, recent host cities have
included Madrid, Moscow, and Rio de Janeiro. The 4th FINA
World Trophy attracted 120 athletes from the top-10 nations in
synchronized swimming: Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Spain, United
States, Italy, Japan, and Russia. During the event
judge’s scores are based almost entirely on the artistic
merit of the routines, which allows complete freedom for costumes
and surprise accessories.
Some of the events from
the 4th FINA World Trophy in Montreal are expected to be televised
in Canada on Saturday, December 12. Otherwise, you can view
