"We were relaxed during the competition and we enjoyed our Flamingo very much. It is the best performance so far we have had since this year. We are confident that we can play better in tomorrow's free routine which is our favorite Swan," Jiang Wenwen said.
As the only swimmers above 30 and the only mother athletes among all the artistic swimmers, the sisters said they want to be models for their kids.
"Both our daughters are three-years-old. They know that their moms are working hard to realize their dreams. We chat through the internet everyday and they always support us. That it so sweet that they can watch our competition from TV," said Wenwen who will be 32 the end of September.
"We are more experienced and better understanding of the sport comparing with the youngsters. We are at our peak form now," she added.
The duet free routine will be held on Aug. 28 with 11 pairs competing while team event start from Aug. 29.
