The main outcome of the competition: despite all the twists and turns to the composition, thanks to the skill, talent and efforts of Russian coaches "reproduction" champions in the sport literally put on stream. Such domination of domestic approx synchronized swimming in the world, continued the first year, is bound to cause resentment among rivals.
