Monday was the last day of technical routines in the artistic swimming competition of the 2019 Canada Games held in Calgary. After taking the lead in the solo event on Sunday evening, Alberta picked up right where it left off and is now standing first in the duet and team events as well.
In this event, teams must perform 5 pre-determined technical elements within their routine, in the same order. They are judged on the quality and synchronization of those elements, as well as for execution and general impression.
The duet free preliminary event will be held on Tuesday afternoon after which technical and free routine scores will be combined to determine which pairs go on to finals.
In the duet tech event (prelim), Hannah McDonagh-Proud (Nanaimo) and Kendall Stirrat (Vancouver) swam to It doesn’t mean a thing by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga and sit in 6th place. Kaitlyn Aylesworth (Victoria) and Mara Lambert-Wilson (Victoria) swam to Michael Jackson and sit in 10th place. The team scored 70.9450 and currently sit in 4th place
