Kitajima Takes up New Sport...
Kitajima makes a rare mistake during the team competition possibly costing his team a medal.
Japan's Kosuke Kitajima has breathed new life into his swimming after 20 years in the sport.
snipJapan's most inexperienced synchronised swimmer left the pool with a bronze medal after performing a bold routine set to dramatic music that placed him just ahead of New Zealand's Nina Daniels.
The sell-out crowd warmly appreciated every upside-down pirouette, even if the Russian influence of coach Anna Nepotachova was not immediately obvious to those not drilled in the nuances of synchronised swimming.
snip
Kitajima emphatically denies that his breaststroke training will be negatively impacted by his success in sychronized swimming. "The breaststroke could be greatly benefitted by the techniques I've learned as a synchronized swimmer. I will revolutionize the sport and continue to push the boundaries."
Kitajima finds redemption during his solo routine and wins the bronze medal.

Michelle I was hoping for some sort of joke post for April Fools day. I am so disappointed that you went for real news today.
