China’s artistic swimming team just made waves at the World Aquatics Championships, securing a historic golden trifecta in all team events! 🌊 The squad’s showstopping routine, ‘Soul of the Terracotta Army’, blended ancient warrior vibes with modern athleticism, earning them a jaw-dropping 229.0186 points in the final. 🏛️💫
This victory marks China’s fourth gold in artistic swimming this year, solidifying their status as the team to beat. But coach Zhang Xiaohuan kept it real: ‘Winning three golds doesn’t mean we’re invincible. We’re still learning and growing—this journey’s been equal parts thrilling and nerve-wracking!’ 😅
Zhang also hinted at big Olympic dreams: ‘This is just the start. Our women’s solo gold? A first-ever breakthrough. The future’s wide open.’ 🌟
Meanwhile, Spain’s Iris Tio Casas and Dennis Gonzalez Boneu snagged mixed duet gold by a razor-thin 0.4 points over neutral athletes. Casas called it their ‘best Worlds ever’—and a win for inspiring young swimmers back home. 🇪🇸👏
