Chinese twin sisters shine

CHINA’S star sisters Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting won the duet technical title at the FINA Synchronized Swimming World Series in Paris yesterday. The twins, who made history by finishing fourth in pairs synchronized swimming at the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, retired after the National Games in 2013. They each decided to make a comeback in 2015 after having daughters. In the final which was contested by 28 pairs, the Chinese sisters collected 91.4818 points to win their first title since their comeback. The silver medal went to Japan’s Yukiko Inui and Mai Nakamura, bronze medalists at the 2016 Rio Games, who scored 90.1401 points. Ukraine’s Anna Voloshyna and Anastasiya Savchuk settled for bronze.
