I'm watching the short program on the livestream right now.

What did team Russia #1 do to get such a huge deduction? I don't know anything about Synchro rules.

It was the falls....they had a few single ones, but the worst was during the intersection when 4 of them fall at once.![]()

Thanks shiroKJ, I have never seen a fall in Synchro. Are there videos of the performances available? Never mind, I just saw them on YouTube. Weird falls...It's too bad because they have a program.....
I don't think there was a dry eye in the stands at the end of their performance, and of course they got a standing ovation from the crowd for pushing through despite the problems. Nine Falls in one program is a HUGE deal in synchro, especially when you look at the protocols and see how close the scores are. It's a mandatory 1 point deduction per fall, plus negative GOE for the element that the fall occurred in.
