then by the next thoughts lies, meets the lone mind on the gemini, synchronized swimming team. as a man i set to compete in the lunatic events for the 1st time. this yeah, that's up to the brig staging. some one you said a told the out the sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for. but we've got something for you. the discovery would change your mind just to click away, find out best document, freeze on you to see the world,

the subscribe. now to dw documentary, the synchronized swimming, the speed that spends the elegance and grace for years and the women competed. but now for the 1st time, man will also be allowed to take pulse food tube side, who is particularly pleased about this. the 27 year old is currently the only man in the gym and national synchronized swimming team. on this, i co bought this. you have to be acrobatic, and nat geo, you can express yourself artistically with the choreography is missing, found all the expression involved. also, it's also the real flexible as we do a lot of fitness training on a routine less up to 3 minute use. of course you also need to bit of stamina because the underwater lots cuz i'd have to hold our breath. so how did that you've

managed to become the most successful gym and synchronized swimming? how does he react to print to this is a gay man in a female dominated sports. and where he managed to win a medal at the european championships. the destroyed bag of tents swimming complex and dressed in a training ground performance sent for gym and swimming. this is wes good, chill trains with the nationals quote for the european championships in bel grades . before entering level 10 tops of the choreography assessed are housed in the gym . the, however, the majority of his training takes place in the pool that you've spends up to a talent in the will. so with his own female team,

they practiced acrobatic elements such as this, which are particularly challenging is few minutes on the 1st couple of minutes. i feel incredibly comfortable with the goals. this of some of the things they've made me feel so welcome. and i meant of a big brother, we don't just different by gender and, but also by age. and i think i'm the oldest by 3 or 4 years from that. but it's nice we complimenting to the well and always have something to laugh about. i'm not familiar with some of the loan among women that put your, if this is now quite normal. but how does a women feeling about having a man in the national scene? this has that he's not stronger than us and can support is very well when it comes to lifting. for example, we've done that with his strength and other ability as it naturally makes a lot of sense the to through this and stop racist us. i don't think the sports

would become any more on say there is more men join and because men also have their weaknesses because they bring with them this from an energy and agility is always a difficult for them. but yeah, that is why i think that men and women actually compliment each other quite well in the water. unfortunately, the gym and team did not qualify for the olympics at the head of the squad is all new. every national coach, stephanie mox, who used to be a synchronized swimmer himself and has been coaching, fit your for a few years for training together. women and men is incredibly enjoyable for me because it's very conducive to a healthy team. you know, they support each other. they keep it shut the grind it, and that's really great to see if the question is, is there a difference between training a mind or a woman and synchronized swimming? then i'd say yes, that's a serious difference. but in terms of physiology alone, how the body works, where the center of gravity is for us women,

it's more on the hidden from it. and it's much higher where the smaller of the box comes broad choice by as a code. so you have to rethink things in order to understand that one technique count works for both men and women, the voice of and the eyes of the phone from the team, from germany, leadings away to 2024 europe and championships in belgrade. our ascend station for joseph and his team, when gold in the out could best take routine category the 1st time in the 50 year history of synchronized swimming in germany. it's an incredible achievement. one that makes good tools. we with joy, the could you learn to swim at the age of 6 and started with high dying thing. his parents discovered his great supporting, talented, an early age. and by 10 he had moved to a sports boarding school in by then. he took policy in various european youth championships and at the age of 18, competed in his 1st international competitions. but how did you guys some how you

doing things to synchronized swimming? i wasn't so happy with high diving in and i found a new sense of purpose in synchronized swimming line. and i also realized that that was developing that it was making progress. i hadn't really felt that in previous years. and that really motivated me to keep going. and then of course, family aspects that weren't there in high diving, the all history and the music music. i have started another phone with that on this . so how does all surface pass? in 2021 slid, 2 of entities, competitive korea is a high dive and made his 1st attempt synchronized swimming, which has been open to men internationally since 2015. very soon he and his taught them. it showed some of became one of germany's top teams in 2023. he and the national team came 2nd in the free combination at the european championships in tucker to go to the middle. those using the will to maybe realize that it's

a beautiful medium on i feel comfortable enough is especially the feeling of being completely surrounded by walton because i especially when diving on the default, the vehicle i'm moving around in the water is also something very, very special so i found the very beautiful when you glide through the wall to pushing yourself forwards within your lation is to me that also makes me feel free for me something to fit of quiet here that's being the last olympic sport to be a female or single sex was not a good sign. we live in times where we talk about diversity and variety and inclusion includes your regression. it should be a given that any support can be done by both genders or by anyone. however, you define yourself. you know, it wasn't it today about the scene yet. so this decision is long overdue. and a step in the right direction. he goes with the others to go. they still put to is openly gay, became mouse age 18 and has a boyfriend's a gay man who competes in

a women's port escape code for prejudice and discrimination. how does put to deal with it a tough substance as a swans or some of them ask them. and so she might think homosexuality and competitive spot can be a sensitive topic. um, there are lots of comments on this at 1st, but once you've experienced it a few times with them, you get over it at some point on my laptop and a statement not to worry about. in addition to competitive sports, could you if is currently studying from most is degree in physical engineering at the technical university of and then you'll recognize as many parallels between synchronized swimming and the laws of physics. the physics affinity of physics is always have its place in support and can synchronized swimming of cause. it has a lot to do with buoyancy. we always have to push ourselves own out of the water hot out, especially when we swim is a teams. and then we do the list in this respect,

you could say the physics and my studies are also a little reflected in sports. and his free time switch you over the votes himself to a hobby that he discovered for himself on instagram a few years ago. crocheting and missing, in addition to sub scarves and gloves, his favorite things to make a small figures and cuddly toys we have to surface out. it really helps me a lot during stressful times. i take half an hour in the evening and then grab my knitting and crochet things, and i am most myself in my world, but jogging is the over people meeting always for me here. it's a good way to switch off. he prefers to give his hand made creations to his teammates and good friends, such as messiah coon offense. he's one of his best friends, and often accompanies him to competitions. michelle is really proud of his friend feature of the this can, you know, if i knew him from high diving and having followed his progression to synchronized swimming. and i'm totally amazed at how he's managed it or not everyone can do that

. so it's really impressive. a soft and hit on somebody. but like the tools michelle has also experience discriminatory and hurtful situations in support. in his case football it's come. allison a came from a very, very hit to 6. so background is good. i played football in the village and everyone that was sent to sexual and, and, and in the ninety's early 2000 is how it wasn't all that big, modest and all this me. so of course the number one and so in football was a u. d way back to the po, accompanied by his best friends if we chose, takes punch in the gym and championships with his sports club as the vetting in berlin. a total of 11 teams compete against each other. before things get serious, all the teams to have practice month without costumes. the other teams that are also highly motivated and ready to give it their own. now it's we chose

and his teams turn the switch. hilde's stands and supports his photo every moment. the free style is a success with only minus slip ups. in the end, the jury has to decide the state was exhausting, but the energy was right. we had the phone, we went well together, was a team. and the fact that we've now got through without any major mistakes is great, and we really please the plates from his coveralls so happy that the tool is now a permanent team member who,

sorry. so i have to say it was actually normal, just like so. i didn't notice any difference, not really. as we integrated, really well into a scene, we always have a lot of fun with him in the purpose, quasi theme as well. he was part of the family. now it's time for the jury to deliver it to verdict. the more difficult the routine, the more points the team can achieve. the results, pre tools on his teammates finish in 2nd place and the team is didn't like change in the end. even stephanie moxie diesel said the case to s the reading is pushed into the move to establish the business. i'm so i think we simply have to open the top i left. it must be up to the clinch whether he wants to include one man to man or for man. i believe that should simply be no guidelines or limitations because it depends on where i have potential. so which country i come from, you know,

thank you is not currently the best when it comes to who i send to the olympic games performance. some potential should be decisive, not gender. organization is serious, but definitely see myself as a role model. i think it's a sport and the benefits men and women coming together in this respect is actually my dream to motivate boys and men to get me to try to look to the income. so i can all role model and play in in tweet tools continues to fight for success and some more records to see in the traditional cultures. and you'll find me what role does culture play versus modernization. we're asking african cultures at risk of being

a race in the quest for globalization africa was that tough to, to get it started. so this is all playing up. totes, as nothing else has been. so what, okay, okay, well can you, do you think it's the contribution to this piece of interest in this 7 to 7? concerning the next on d, w for the freeman house on this homeless in northern germany. my grandmother, every great you to presume at the age of 5, that fine to the under the account. i come from you under disorder and work as a journalist from germany, where my ancestors integrated from. would like to take you on a journey to 200 years of german immigration and resume to get a film dialing. moyer, the vane in 60 minutes. on d delta, you get ready for any exciting auburn toyota. look surprised. hi, irish. and i'm ready to dive into the hands of children to you. have you have the
