right, of course, but he was qualified to pick the winners to did well, that's all we have the time for the moment coming next is sports lifeline. told me already, but for myself in the team. thanks for being with us the so either and seeing you the same way you expect and more and different things from life when your parents do, i just want to pursue what that's my thoughts hired or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable port in those nonsense, i want my son to become a doctor to in the clubs. it's time to, to get in your generation with a sleep asked and then when generation smash, watch now on, do you tune b,

w? don't? you mentioned this kind of fun. it feels like therapy, the synchronized swimming, the speed that stems the elegance and grace is and the women competed. but now for the 1st time, man will also be allowed to take pulse. the crew tube side is particularly pleased about this. the 27 year old is currently the only man in the gym and national synchronized swimming team on the eco boxes. you have to be acrobatic, and nat geo. you can express yourself artistically with the choreography is missing time. the old expression involves us. it's also the reflective mobile. we do a lot of fitness training on a routine, less up to 3 minute users. of course, you also need to bit of stuff minutes because the underwater lots cuz i'd have to

hold our breath. hazard sticks, you've managed to become the most successful gym and synchronized swimming. how does he react to print you? this is a gay man in a female dominated sports. and when 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 cops at the choreography a faster hust 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 old 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 is up some of us and 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. but it's nice we complimenting to the well and always have something to laugh about. some of them are less and less known among women. that's the tool. 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 that stronger than us and can support is very well when it comes to lifting. for example, if they've done that, it was his strength and other ability as it naturally makes a lot of sense. the to see that as a self based assess,

i don't think the sports would become any more on say or is more men join. and because men also have their weaknesses, cuz they bring with them this from an image 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 owner . every national coach, stephanie mox, who used to be a synchronized swimmer, has selves and has been coaching, split your 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 each other, they keep it to 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 from and it's much higher where the smaller of the box becomes broad choice, right? 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 i know i cellphone says to the team from germany leading the way to 2024 europe and championships in belgrade are ascend station for hills and his team, when gold in the acrobatic 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 good tools. we was julie. could you plan to swim at the age of 6 and started with height? the only thing is parents discovered his great supporting, talented, an early age and by 10 he had moved to a sports boarding school in button. he took policy in various european youth championships under the age of 18, competed in his for just international competitions. but how did you go from high

diving to synchronized swimming system? i was so happy with high diving in and i found a new sense of purpose in synchronized swimming. 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 stuff. i also had a lot of fun with that on this. so how does that affect your spouse? in 2021 split your entities. competitive korea is a high dive and made his 1st attempt at synchronized swimming, which has been opened to men internationally since 2015. very soon he and his cotton. i'm a show tim. 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 cub scouts. yeah

. my so i was middle those e as in the world. so maybe realize that it's a beautiful medium and 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. i find the very beautiful when you glide through the wall to pushing yourself forwards with undulation, is to me that also makes me feel free for me. so i can go through. definitely had the, let's remember 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 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 here. so this decision is long overdue and to step in the right direction because with the others together, they still put yours is openly gay. he came out to age 18 and has

a boyfriend. a gay man who competes in a women's sports escaped code for prejudice. and discrimination, how does split choke deal with it or touch this as a swans or some of them ask them and then so, so you 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 out of especially when we swim, is a teams. and then we do the lifts in this respect,

you could say the physics on my studies are also a little reflected in sports. and it's free time switch you over the votes himself to a hobby that he discovered for himself on instagram a few years ago. crookshank admitting, in addition to some scopes 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 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 like the tools michelle has also experience discriminatory and hub full situations in support. in his case football it's come. allison in a came from a very, very hit to 6. so background is good. i played football in the village and everyone there was intersect phones 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 other teams that are also highly motivated and ready to give it their own. now it's we chose and his teams turn the sweet tube systems and support 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 cover. oh, so happy that the tool is now

a permanent team member who's 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. the purpose crossing the module. 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 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 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 should simply be no guidelines or limitations because it

depends on where i have potential. so which country i come from? i think you are 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 get in compass. so that's an all role model i'm playing, the tweet tool continues to fight for success and some more records in the business. but you know, here we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting

a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use force. and for this is in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. news africa next on d. w. actually ride road guides know the way around is strictly scientific trip to some pretty key places. curiosity is we tried tomorrow today. in 60 minutes on d w. d, w, travel low there. besides the history food. well,
