A total of ten representative teams participated in the free combination event of synchronized swimming in the 14th National Games, and each team demonstrated its own style through melody with different themes. The Beijing Synchronized Swimming Team was founded in 1983 and is one of the earliest synchronized swimming teams in my country. This time they chose the theme of their own music as “Light of Life”. The music is in the form of modern electronic rock music, with electric guitar, piano and percussion. Music is the main musical instrument, highlighting that in the face of the epidemic, people use their lives to defend their dignity and heal the wounded. On the battlefield without gunpowder, the heroes have written a heroic chapter of defending their homes and nations. During the game, they sometimes jumped out of the water, sometimes danced in the pool… The whole set of movements were very shocking, and they finally got the highest score in the game.
The Sichuan team is a combination of old, middle and young players. The average age of the players in the team is 22 years old. There are not only outstanding veterans who have participated in the five National Games, but also many fresh blood from the 00s who participated in the National Games for the first time. In the Fourteenth National Games, the Sichuan team incorporated elements of Yi culture and ethnic style. The movements used clear rhythms and melody to strengthen the national identity; in the design of leg movements, the design of the leg movements was based on “critic feet” and “foot-to-foot”. The ethnic style is emphasized in rhythm processing, group connection, and formation changes; in the design of upper limb movements, the Yi girl’s costume is invisible over the tangible, as brave as a tiger, and as enthusiastic as fire, but it does not lose sight of the girl’s first love. Softness and youthfulness, interpretation of a different kind of artistic conception.
Although the Shanghai team with the Olympic “four dynasty veteran” Huang Xuechen only won the third place, they also presented a visual feast to the audience. The Shanghai team’s combined action was originally arranged by the head coach Zhang Xiaolei. The music is selected from the world-famous opera “Notre Dame de Paris”, and the entire set of self-selected music festivals are selected from the classic opera “The Age of Cathedral” and other repertoires. The singing is extremely powerful. The ups and downs are fully demonstrated by the athletes’ intense body movements in the water. The Shanghai team also interprets the classic epic mood through skilled technical movements and superb artistic performance.
