Kate Shortman and Izzy Thorpe: ‘Pioneers’ target most unlikely Olympic medal in Team GB history

Summary

Nutrition label

73% Informative

Kate Shortman and Izzy Thorpe have been quietly building towards perhaps the most unlikely medal in British Olympic history.

The pair sealed their status among the favourites for Paris by winning the Olympic artistic swimming test event in May .

Artistic swimming is fast and explosive, with the moves requiring strength, power, speed and flexibility.

A change in the sport’s judging rules has been hugely significant, with competitors now required to proactively enter their routines before they start.

They are also holding back a few secret additions for Paris and, as well as inspiring women, have a wider ambition to popularise the sport for men who could have competed in Paris in the artistic swimming team event.
