China’s artistic swimming scene just got a thrilling new chapter! Teen duo Guo Sitong (17) and Shi Haoyue (17) made history at the Artistic Swimming World Cup in Egypt, snagging silver in the mixed duet technical final—all in their first-ever international competition as a pair. 💦✨
Diving into the pool as the first of 11 teams, the young athletes delivered a powerhouse routine scoring 196.1908 points, briefly topping the leaderboard. Though Spain’s Dennis Gonzalez Boneu and Mireia Hernandez Luna later claimed gold (207.3858), and Italy’s Gabriele Minak and Sarah Rizea took bronze, Guo and Shi’s fearless debut has turned heads globally. 🌍🏅
Shi, competing internationally for the first time, called the experience 'unforgettable.' With their chemistry shining brighter than poolside glitter, this dynamic duo is one to watch as they sync up for future events. 👏🔜
