Russian Federation's Natalia Ishchenko and Svetlana Romashina win gold in the synchronized swimming duets event at the Aquatics Centre at the London 2012 Olympic Games (7 August).
Spain's Carbonell Balleste and A. Fuentes Fache won silver with China's Huang Xuechen and Liu Ou claiming the bronze medal.
A relatively recent discipline, synchronized swimming became an Olympic sport for the first time in Los Angeles in 1984, with solo and duet events. These events also took place at the Olympic Games in 1988 in Seoul and in 1992 in Barcelona. Atlanta replaced them in 1996 by a water ballet for eight people. Since the 2000 Olympic Games, the Olympic programme has included the team event and the duet.
Alongside rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized swimming is the only exclusively female Olympic sport.
