Two-time Olympic champion Vlada Chigireva, in an interview with the Lenta.ru correspondent, explained the frankness of swimsuits for synchronized swimming.
“For us, the most important thing in a swimsuit is that it is light, so there is little fabric. Well, you can’t do without a mesh – you can’t sew beautifully. The most revealing swimsuit we had in Rio in the technical program “Rhythms of the City”, we adore it. We see nothing wrong with this frankness. People walk on the beach in bikinis, and no one scolds them for it, ”said the athlete. She added that the high cut on the thighs is needed to make the legs appear longer.
In addition, Chigireva spoke about the awkward moments that happened during the performances. “What was not there! Hands crawled under each other’s swimsuits, tore them, clung to each other … The straps slipped, the hair clung to the hook, ”she recalled.
Chigireva is the Olympic champion of the Games in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo as part of the group. In addition, she has 11 victories at the World Championships and four at the European Championships.
