a baby story. info, migraines, reliable news to migrate wherever they may be. the synchronized swimming pool that stands the elegance and grace is the women completed. but now for the 1st time, man will also be allowed to take pumps. put you upside, 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 time. the old expression involved. it's also very flexible to make this 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 on the wall to a lot of have to hold our breath. how's it to chills, manage to become the most successful gym and synchronized swimming? how does he reacts 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 interest in a training ground performance sent for gym and swimming. this is wes could choke trains with the nationals quote for the european championships in belgrade. before entering the tops of the choreography a faster hast 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 practice

acrobatic elements such as this, which are particularly challenging is pretty much on the 1st couple of minutes. i feel incredibly comfortable with the goals this up, 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, but also by age. and i think i'm the oldest by 3 or 4 years. but it's nice we complimenting to the well and always have something to last about. most of my best of luck, known among women that fits your if this is now quite normal. but how does the women feeling about having a man in the national team? this has that he's not stronger than us and can support is very well when it comes to listing. for example, we've done that, it was 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 unfair, it's more man join an inside because men also have their weaknesses that they bring with them this from an image. see, 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. that the hedge of the squad is on every national coach, stephanie mox, who used to be a synchronized swimming herself and has been coaching, fit your for a few. this mines. i'm 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 mine or a woman in synchronized swimming? then i'd say yes, that's a serious difference. but in terms of physiology alone, that's how the body works, where the center of gravity is for us, women,

it's more on the hit. for man, 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. the 2020 for europe and championships in belgrade are ascend station, the hills and his team, when gold in the capacity routine category, the 1st time in the 50 year, history of synchronized swimming in germany. it's an incredible achievement, and one that makes good tools. we was joy. could you plan to swim at the age of 6 and started with height? the only thing is pirates discovered his great sporting talented in the early age. and by 10, he had moved to a sports boarding school in button. he took costume various european youth championships under the age of 18, competed in his 1st international competitions. but how did he go from high diving

to see for nice swimming system? i was so happy with high diving in and i found a new sense of purpose in synchronized swimming. 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 the, the aspects that weren't there in high diving, the, all the history and the music stuff. i also had a lot of fun with that either. so, how does that affect your spouse? in 2021 slits, you've ended his competitive career as a high diver 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. and he goes, yeah, what's the middle of those using the world?

so maybe you realize that it's a beautiful medium. i'm feel comfortable enough is especially the feeling of being completely surrounded by walton because i especially when diving on the for the video and moving around in the water is also something very, very special funding. very beautiful. when you glide through the wall to pushing yourself forwards with undulation, it seems to me that also makes me feel free for myself. i'm going through definitely i had the, let's remember being the last to let me pick 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 profession. 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 because with the others together, they still put your 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 split choke deal with it? a touch as, 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 1st. but once you've experienced a few times with them, you get over to some point of time i live taught the statement that to me 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 physical affinity, as physics is always that takes 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 teens and then we do the lifts. in this respect,

you could say the physics and my studies are also a little reflected in sports. and it's free time for choke, divides himself to a hobby that he discovered for himself on instagram a few years ago, crocheting and missing. in addition to some scouts and gloves, his favorite things to make a smoke, cigarettes and cuddly toys. we have to surface out, it really helps me a lot during stressful times. i take off 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 as you know, as of somebody but likes the tools. michelle has all some experience discriminatory and hurtful situations in sports. in his case football, it's come. allison in a came from a very, very hit to 6 and background is group. i played football in the village and unable and there was such a sexual and, and, and in the ninety's early 2000 is how it wasn't all that big, modest and all this new stuff. but of course the number one and so in football was a u. d for back to the po, accompanied by his best friends if we chose, takes punch in the gym and championships with his sports club, se, bedding in berlin. a total of 11 teams compete against each other. before things get serious, all the teams to a practice, month without costumes. the teams are also highly motivated

and ready to give it their own. now it's we chose and whose teams turn the switch tube stands and supports his photo every moment. the free son 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 cover all so happy that the tool is now

a permanent team member. who, sorry as well. i have to say it was actually normal just like before. i didn't notice any difference, not really as the integrated, really well into out saying we always have a lot of fun with him. the purpose was deemed as well. he was part of his family. now it's time for the jury to do that. if the rate's the verdict, the more difficult the routine, the more points the team can achieve. the results, pre tools onto his teammates finish in 2nd place and the team is didn't like the change in the end. even stephanie mocks, the results of the coach, the se, venting is pushed into the move to establish the business. i'm so i think we simply have to open the top left. it must be up to the clinch whether he wants to include one man to man or for man. i believe that that should simply be no guidelines or

limitations because it depends on where i have potential. so we can 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 for i think it's a sport and the benefits men and women coming together in this respect. it's actually my dream to motivate boys and men to get me to try too much income. so i can also role model and play in the tweet tools continues to fight for success. and some more recall, let's see in the height of the automobile is turning the w golf where the car has been
