the germans national synchronizes livingston. i'm told me a lot of last agent from one use at the top of the off the

use of to the full of the fun and november 9th. the synchronized swimming split, that stands the elegance and grace is the women completed. but now for the 1st time, man will also be allowed to take pulse puts 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 not joe. you can express yourself artistically, with the choreography is missing, and the old expression involved us. it's also the reflecting pool. 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 the hold of brad. how's it fits?

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 metal at the european championships. the destroyed bag of tents, swimming complex interest in a training ground performance sent for jim and swimming. this is, wes, could choke trains with the nationals quote for the european championships in belgrade before entering the cops and the carry over fee a faster hust in the gym. the, however, the maturity of his training takes place in the pool that you've spends up to a towel is in the room with him. with his old female team. they practiced

acrobatic elements such as these, which are particularly challenging is few minutes 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. i don't have a big brother. we don't just different by agenda 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, about some of the known among women. that's the tool, this is now quite normal. but how does a women feeling about having a man in the national scene? this has that he's that stronger than us and can support is very well when it comes to lifting. for example, if 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 an

inside because men also have their weaknesses, but they bring with them this from an image and agility is always a difficult for them. this is 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 to every national coach, stephanie mox, who used to be a synchronized swimming himself and has been coaching quite yo for a few years. training together, women and men is incredibly enjoyable for me because it's very conducive to a healthy team. you know, they support teeth, they keep it separate, grind it. and that's really great to see if the question is, is there a difference between training of mine or the women in synchronized swimming? then i'd say yes, that's a serious difference. but in terms of physio, logy 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 small of the back to come to the broad choice side as

a codes. you have to rethink things in order to understand that one technique count works for both men and women. the voice of a know i cellphone for the team from germany, leading the way to 2024 europe and championships in belgrade are a sensation for joseph 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. i'm one that makes the tool suite with 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, an early age and by 10 he had moved to a sports boating school in buttons. he took policy in various european youth championships under the age of 18, competed in his 1st international competitions. but how did he go from high diving,

just synchronized swimming fragment system. i wasn't so happy with high diving in and i found a new sense of purpose in synchronized swimming line. and i also realize 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 history and the music. i also had a lot of fun with that. that is all such as passed in 2021. could you of entities competitive korea 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 partner, michelle, it's him. i 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 video and moving around in the water is also something very, very special. so i found you very beautiful when you glide through the water, pushing yourself forwards with undulation. it seems to me that also makes me feel free for me, something to sort of quiet here. that's what i'm putting 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 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 but the scene yet. so this decision is long overdue and to 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. a gay man who competes in

a women's port escape code for prejudice and discrimination. how to split to 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 it a few times, 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 but, and then put your recognizes many parallels between synchronized swimming and the laws of physics. the physics offended this physics is always takes place in sport 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 out of especially when we swim, is a teams. 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 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 some scouts and gloves, his favorite things to make a small focus and cuddly toys. we have the 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 for 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 is coming and also 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. right. so it's really impressive. a soft

and you know somebody but likes the tools. michelle has all some experience discriminatory and hurtful situations in support. in his case football it's come allison and a came from a very, very hit to 6 and 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 for 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 a practice month without costumes, the of the teams, they're also highly motivated and ready to give it their own. now it's we

chose and his teams turn the sweet tube 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 my purpose crossing the module. he was part of his family . now it's time for the jury to did it for its verdict. the more difficult the routine, the more points the team can achieve. the results to the tools and his teammates finish in 2nd place and the team is didn't like change in the end. even stephanie moxie diesel said the kind of 2 se venting 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 before i think he eats his boat 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 to then come to us. so i can also role model and play in the tweet you've continues to fight for success. and some more recall, let's see in the kind of always in signature style
