RIO DE JANEIRO<\/strong> \u2014 Team Canada is in 4th position, a mere half point from the bronze medal, after the Team Technical event at the Synchronized Swimming Olympic Trials taking place at the Maria Lenk Aquatic Centre in Rio, Brazil. \u00a0The top three teams from this competition will be invited to take part in the 2016 Olympic Games, with the final standings being determined by adding today’s scores to tomorrow’s Free Team results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Performing an Alien-themed routine that was built as a celebration of strong, powerful women, Canada delivered an inspired technical performance that leaves them 0.5 points behind Italy and 0.3 points ahead of Spain. \u00a0\u00ab\u00a0I feel absolutely thrilled with our performance today,\u00a0\u00bb stated Team Captain <\/span>Claudia Holzner<\/b>, from Calgary. \u00a0\u00ab\u00a0We trained really hard for this moment – we were focused and knew what we needed to do. \u00a0To see such a positive outcome is totally rewarding and makes everything worth it. \u00a0Our Olympic dream is now firmly within our grasp: we just have to go out and perform like we know we’re capable of tomorrow.\u00a0\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n

Team members were <\/span>Gabriella Brisson, Annabelle Frappier, Sandy Gill, Claudia Holzner, Rebecca Maule, Samantha Nealon, Jacqueline Simoneau<\/b> and <\/span>Karine Thomas.<\/b><\/p>\n

Favourites Ukraine and Japan sit in the top 2 spots but the competition is close so no one has secured their Olympic qualification at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0It’s anybody’s game now. \u00a0It will all come down to the Free Team event,\u00a0\u00bb stated Team Canada’s Head Coach, <\/span>Meng Chen<\/b>. \u00a0\u00ab\u00a0After today’s strong performance, we feel very good about our chances for tomorrow, when we will present our Fire and Ice free routine. It is an extremely difficult routine – physically challenging, where hypoxia, technical skill execution, creative movements and dynamic highlights all make for a presentation that is super-charged emotionally. \u00a0I am convinced everyone will enjoy the Canadian passion and feel a connection with the routine.\u00a0\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0I would also like to add how much the whole team appreciates the fact that our nation of synchro family members and partners has supported us so much this week – we feel so much energy from the bigger synchro community in Canada – it’s been awesome!\u00a0\u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n
